We will- it's the hotel we originally tried to book using points, but we didn't have enough! thanks again!

Just tried again for a 4* for $129 and got rejected, added the 3.5* and got the Marriott Magnificent Mile!! Looks like I got $100 off per night according to the rates on their website. Thanks for all the help, and I did use the link through the website:)

$125 denied for both 4* and 3.5*... i'll try higher tomorrow i suppose

Oh, wow! I thought it was just due to holidays. I guess I will be bidding on the 3.5* too!!

Oh- and another thing... do you think I am bidding too early in the month? Are better deals usually found closer to the actual date of stay?

Thanks for your help! I will try again today higher (I have to wait for my 24 hours to expire from yesterdays bid)... and I just use the link from the front page, right? I will post my results when I finally get something. Yes, I think we would rather have a cheaper hotel in a better area...

I think the max we want to spend is $150 per night, and I've only bid up to $100. I'm not even sure if that's possible for that weekend/star class, but I might as well try, right? :)

Hi- I'm new to these boards after unsuccessfully bidding (too low) on a 4* and 3.5* in the NMA- River North Area. After looking around, it looks like my bids were way too low. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good bid for 11/28-11/30? It's a holiday weekend, so I know it will be higher than regular weekend rates. We would be happy in either a 4* or 3.5*, but of course if we can get a 4* star for a good price, we would rather be in that. I will use the board link to PRICELINE from now on! Thanks!
