Atraveller Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have read quite a number of the postings on this Board, but I haven't seen the answer to this question. Hotels put in an array of prices for their rooms. But how do they indicate a time frame? Do they input an array for every date of the month/year? That sounds like an awful lot of work. Or do they only submit an array for the dates they have rooms available? Or is everything done by modelling programs nowadays?Most people seem to bid within a month of arrival. However occasionally you will see successful bids three months, six months or nine months in the future. Sometimes those bids will be of similar amounts to current successful bids. Some hotels only seem to accept bids at least a month away. However you also read of bids unsuccessful for stays more than a month away also. Then you caution them they are bidding too early.Thanks for any insight you can provide. Link to comment
