:) :) **FIRST TIME WINNER USING SPLIT DATES (3 NIGHTS OF THE 6 NEEDED) STRATEGY AFTER FAILING WITH A 6 NIGHT BID** :o :) Oh - You are going to be so proud of me. I put your strategy to work, splitting dates, and won!!! We are staying at the Gaylord Palms for the last three nights, 3/13-3/16 (Sat - Tues) for a mere $85.00 per night!!! We are so excited. It looks like a great resort on the website. Today we are going to attempt to win the first three nights. We employed the same strategy for the first three nights, 3/10-3/12 (Wed - Fri) and had no luck bidding with re-zoning up to $105.00 per night. Are these days just harder to get? Anyway, thanks again for all your help. I will let you know how today's round goes. One question, what are the chances of getting the same hotel? As we have 3 nights left to bid, should we bid them two nights and then just one night? Or would we be better off just waiting the 72 hours and bidding all 3 as a group again? Not quite sure how to handle the last 3. I'm concerned about the possibility of staying in 3 different hotels. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks - Cathy PS - We used SavingsBarn.com each time.
