light packer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 I started bidding in mid-July. I was placing my bids for 7 consecutive days before my bid got accepted. I never fail to always start in BB first, using the PRICELINE link here.My lowest bid was $70. I would increase my bid by $2 to $7. Thrice, I bid $100 but still got rejected.I got a couple of PL offers to re-bid if I added $25 to my bid. I declined every time because doing so would increase my bid to over a hundred dollar$. Last year, I won $81 in the same area and star rating - a precedent that I wanted to outdo. After winning this time, I did some research and found out that not a lot of people win The Blackstone. In fact, when they do, it was usually over a hundred dollar$. So I am pretty excited with my win. I think this is an even better deal than my last year's win even if it is $12 more. Moreover, the discount that I got over their published rate is really something to be happy and grateful about.
