alex2323 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 I'm trying to get a 3.5* hotel for 12/15/10-12/20/10. I bid up to $58 but no luck. Am I too early? From the calendar of wins, it looks like my bid should have been accepted.

alex2323 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Posted July 27, 2010 Thank you. I'm looking for a 3.5 star hotel in the Downtown Disney area. I was hoping to get one for around $40/night because I noticed that other people successfully bid that amount. $58 was more than I was hoping to spend but my bid still wasn't accepted. I saw that other people were able to get resorts (hyatt grand cypress) for $62 a night...And other people got 3.5 star hotels for $40-50 a night.
thereuare Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 My guess it that it's early... if it makes you more comfortable i'd book a refundable back-up and try once a week or so at this point in time.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.

alex2323 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Posted July 28, 2010 That's what I figured, but I have $50 bonus cash that expires August 9th so I'm going to try to find something before then. Thanks for your help-- I'll let you know what happens.

alex2323 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 Just an update. Today I tried bidding again for a 3.5* hotel in Downtown Disney area for 12/15-12/20. Went up to $65 ($55 plus $10 bonus cash) and it was rejected. I'm considering going down to a 3* since someone else got it for $42 for december. I just really prefer embassy suites or radisson over the holiday inn sunspree. I'll use the PRICELINE link and post my results here.
