thereuare Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding!The lock-out period is 24 hours from your last bid. Rates are high for this nite, what is your maximum bid for this stay? Do you have a back-up plan/reservation?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board for your bidding.

JimW22 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Didn't want to go above $90. Back up was driving up (from Boston) and trying to get government rate (USPS). Some hotels will give it. Leaf peepers? Link to comment
BobC Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 lastminutetravel.com has a 3* in Portland that is the Holiday Inn Portland West for $77.00 Link to comment
JimW22 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Last try was for $75. for 3* and refused at 2:00p.m. 10/22/10.I ran out of time to keep bid. I'll try to start earlier next time. Ended up just spending the evening and driving home. 1.5 hr. each way.Thanks to adm. and BobC for your help and I'll use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links in the future. This board is very helpful.Am I correct that click threw(?) rates helps even if not successful? Jim Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Sorry to hear your bids were not successful, but i do recall when researching this stay that rates were somewhat higher than usual.Glad to hear the information on the board has been helpful and hope the drive home wasn't too bad.
