thereuare Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 BTW the NYC trip was cancelled....Nobody will know to look here to see that your NYC trip was cancelled... so please follow-up that thread stating so; then bump this thread and we will ask you some additional questions on the above. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
judgemom Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I posted that because of other responses I've seen given when someone asked for help in bidding, when they had asked before....I looked and had already posted that the NYC trip was cancelled last year due to Hurricane Rita....Had forgotten I already let the NY board know...But will definately be in Houston on oct 10....No choice in the matter....Thanks....

thereuare Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Thanks for the post... do you recall your bidding history at all? (ie- more specifically, the highest rejected bid at the 4* level in the Galleria zone)Enjoy your stay.

judgemom Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 4* Omni Galleria $78.00On 4* I had bid $65. RejectedAdded another zone, bid $68. Rejected.Closed and reopened browser.Added zone, bid $70, Rejected.Add zone, $75, RejectedClosed and reopened browser.Went with 3* $60, Rejected with message stating for $18 would get hotel and upgraded to 4*. If I would have upped the bidding on the 4* the first time, problaby would have gotten it sooner.but knew I was running out of time, and was too tired to keep trying for a 3* at a lower rate...Busy time of year I guess, couldn't find any other deals anywhere.Decided that was my best option, since other sites have 3 and 4* at over $100.Called Omni to see what my gov discount could get me out of curiousity. Reg room rate $200, Gov discount $175. Link to comment
