Thank you for sharing your win with the rest of us.

I noticed for this bid, and your Key West bid, you kept the price the same when you lowered you star level. It may have been necessary for Key West (due to the high prices which that area commands), but in other zones it's usually recommended to lower your bid price when you lower your star ratings, as explained in this PRICELINE TIPS post.

If we can help with a bidding strategy for any area you are choosing in the future please let us know.

Enjoy your stay.

You did just fine... wasn't aware of the previous bids, and you bid a bit more systematically than i previously thought. If you hadn't, wanted to make sure you at least new your options for future bids.

Thanks again!
