Thank you and I will reply with my experiences upon my return.
I have two nagging thoughts about this reservation. One, I am in Canada so I used the "California, 99999" workaround. I hope this won't be an issue as they have accepted the bid and likely charged my MC. Two, I wonder if the hotel staff will "downgrade" our stay because we used PL. I would think Westin staff are professional enough not to make this an issue.
Thanks to all the people who contribute to this forum. I am a PL/HW newbie and this forum made it very easy to use. Here are my details for my first PL experience:
I tried numerous bids (from 100 - 125) with varying date changes over the August 6-8 weekend. I gave up trying to extend beyond Fri/Sat nights. I am very happy with the $110 win.
