lknight27 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Not sure what the problem is but I have been bidding for over a month now and have not won anything. I'm no newbie to this, I can bid in my sleep, but I can't break this one. Any guesses thereuare? I bidded for 3 rooms.While it is a holiday weekend, the rates aren't through the roof so I can't fathom why my bids aren't being taken. I have bidded this area a few times in the past, once $68 (Manchester Hyatt) and the other $78 (Sheraton Marina) and the rates were a lot higher $229+. I am Puzzled . . . below are the rates for my date. :) Sheraton $139Manchester Hyatt $144Westin Gaslamp $151W San Diego $161Westin San Diego $161Se San Diego $169Westgate $179Omni $189Started at $60 and worked all the way up to $88 and nothing! I stopped at $88 since that was my threshold. I definitely thought $68 or $70 would have done it. I'll be booking a total of 6 rooms. Wondering if I am bidding too early for this area. Most of the posted wins are within 30 days. Any help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment

lknight27 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 No I have been bidding for 3 rooms. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Rates aren't that high for these dates... i'd be patient and continue your bidding as you have been for about the next month, it may just be too early for the hotels to be discounting too deeply. In the meantime you want to consider booking a refundable back-up to protect yourself from prices moving higher from here.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck!
