Bigemail Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks to all for this helpful post. I used this strategy to attempt to get a 5* room in TS (The Chatwal) for 1/22 - 1/24 and ultimately (and unsuccessfully) stopped at $340/night, deciding to take my bidding in another direction. FYI.
