Jim F Posted July 17, 2010 Report Posted July 17, 2010 Started bid at $85 for 1 zone. Added free rebid zones at $89, $92, $96, $99, $105 and $110 adding Alexandria West Bethesda, MD DC Suburbs - Northeast Area Georgetown North Mount Vernon Silver Spring, MD all failed :)
thereuare Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 Is $110 your maximum bid for this stay?Are any other nearby zones acceptable, such as Dupont Circle and/or Capital Hill?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know your thoughts and we'll take it from there.

Jim F Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Posted July 18, 2010 I would like to keep it below approx $100 a night, and may expand to Capitol Hill Zone if necessary, but I was hoping to do no rental car and use the metro. Maybe you could recommend a date when I should expand my bidding to Capitol hill or dupont cir? Thanks
thereuare Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 When you decide to consider other zones has to do with your tolerance for risk...I believe your best chance at the moment for a 4* hotel with a $110 budget is in the Dupont Circle zone and think you have a pretty good chance at succeeding at this point in time... if you decide to wait and continue to unsuccessfully try the other zones the current 4* Dupont Circle hotel may no longer be available; if you're successful purchasing a Dupont Circle hotel now for ~$100, a 4* hotel at this price could later become available within your budget in the White House zone.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

Jim F Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Posted August 4, 2010 I tried this again several times, the latest is adding Dupont Circle and Conv Center - Capitol Hill (both 4* zones)starting at $85, 87, 89, 91, 94, 97, 101, 105 and 110 with my rebid zones listed aboveall failed
thereuare Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 It looks like rates have gone higher in the last 2 weeks (and the Dupont Circle zone property i had seen earlier is gone)... are you going to wait it out and try again at these levels or do you have another gameplan?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
