Cher Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Bid $50 on a 3* in South Bend for 7/29-7/31 and was rejected. The Marriott and Residence Inn are listing rooms for $129/night. I guess I'll try again tomorrow!

Cher Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks for the tips. Well, I upped it by 5 to $55 and got rejected, but received this response: "If you are willing to raise your price by $15 to $70 per room, per night, you can try the same request again right now."I have read that you can save those links for later which I will do.My immediate strategy is to wait until tomorrow (no free rebid zones in South Bend!) and bid $60.

Cher Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Posted July 24, 2011 After getting a "one time" $70 counteroffer from PL on my $55 bid yesterday, I waited it out for a day and got the Marriott South Bend for $60/night (+$24.58 in taxes & fees).I'm happy since their website was listing it for $129/night.
AaronJB Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 Congrats on your success. :)Very good deal for this Marriott property! Hope you are looking forward to your stay.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
