srock Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Using the PRICELINE link, and seeing another bidder's success at $70 for the same dates and location, I began bidding a couple of days ago for a 3.5* or better in either this area, N. Michigan Avenue, or Greater Chicago at $65. I was rejected but there are three free rebidding zones at this level, so I tried $68, $70, and $72 with no luck. Today I thought I'd try again at $70, bidding only for the Loop area and 4* and was accepted. So I'm kind of confused why my earlier bid at the same or higher price, in a wider area and with more star levels, was rejected. But all's well that ends well.Hotel cost: $70Taxes and fees: $18.30Total: $88.30 Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Congratulations on your success!The Loop zone is often cheaper then the NMA zone, so your acceptance at a price below what you had previously bid in the NMA zone is not surprising (and there just aren't enough 4* rated hotels in the Greater Chicago area to have consistent inventory at this star rating in that zone)Hope you're happy with the results and this will work well for your plans... rate certainly looks very good.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
