Thanks, Rochester Rich and Thereuare for the information. I'm starting to catch on a little bit. There are a couple things I don't understand. What is the difference between the "retail" site and the "Opaque" site and how do I know which one I'm in? If I just click the link, will I be in the right place? Also, I finally see what you mean by clicking on the different zones to see what star ratings each zone has but I still don't understand how the rebid zones are numbered. For example, when I look at Priceline, Ponce is zone 4 but it looks like it is rebid zone 2. I'm not sure I understand why that is. Also, you said "With your stay not until March..." Do you think I am bidding too early? Is there a strategy to waiting? Do you find that there are certain days, times, times of the month, etc. that are better than others? Rochester Rich, I am going to be on the Serenade also! Thanks for elaborating on what rebid zones were called because the numbers are confusing. I would also like to end up in the Sheraton but I think any of the 3 or 3.5 sound reasonable for one night. Is there a reason to start with the 3.5 stars? If I remember from the hotel list, the Sheraton is now a 3* (I don't want to lose this info by confirming that right now). I like your idea about having more options. We are actually looking for 2 rooms in case that would affect my strategy. To confirm my understanding... I'm going to click the San Juan zone (should I start in the 50's or 70's? I've seen both accepted lately) Then I'm going to click San Juan and Cabo Rojo (Rebid zone 1)-The other night when I tried to click or unclick anything and everything was greyed out. Maybe that was a technical issue? Then I'm going to come back to this site and Click San Juan and Ponce-Guanica (Rebid zone 2) Then I'm going to click all three because San Juan, Cabo Rojo, and Ponce-Guanica (Rebid zones 1 and 2) only SJ has 3*+ Did I get all that right? I would be interested in a strategy for 3.5*. Maybe I should try that also. Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it!
