fly_up_front Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 There were two criterion for this bid: airport zone for next day flight and cheapest available. Nailed it.Bid $35 for a 2* and rejected with an add $9 counter. When bottom-fishing on 2*s, I've had good luck with using 1*s for a quality-level rebid and it worked here. Bid $38 for a 1* and accepted and upgraded. It has an airport shuttle.Used SavingsBarn.com (I'm finally in the habit of remembering to use it each time).Another hotel first reported by fly_up_front and only found at BetterBidding.com!Congratulations, you got your price of $38 for a hotel room, and we've upgraded your hotel quality level to a 2-star hotel!Four Points By Sheraton PhiladelphiaPhiladelphia Airport (PHL)4101a Island AvenuePhiladelphia, Pennsylvania 19153215-492-0400Check-In Date: Fri, Aug 8, 2003Check-In Time: After 02:00 PMCheck-Out Date: Sat, Aug 9, 2003Check-Out Time: 12:00 PMYour Offer Price: $38.00Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 1Subtotal: $38.00Taxes andService Fees: $11.15Total Charges: $49.15 Link to comment

fly_up_front Posted August 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 You're certainly getting good at those exclusives!Thanks - it's kind of a dubious distinction in that I'm going places no one would ever want to (Quincy, IL, Wayne, NJ, etc.) or making offbeat lowball bids (2*PHL, 4* AMS, 2.5* KC DT). But if they're only here or here first, it does make BetterBidding a required stop for informed bidders. Link to comment
