Are Bid Acceptances Dynamic?

[Mat Dwyer]

I'm curious about this...

I'm trying to get a hotel in Clearwater Beach (4*, the hyatt) for 1 night during March Break - I know this is one of their highest weeks.

I've bid up to $150 a night, and don't want to go much higher.

What I'm curious about is if the minimum amount they will take changes as the dates get closer? Does it typically rise or fall?

I.e. a $145 bid that was rejected last week, is accepted today - does that happen? All things being equal EXCEPT for the date of the bid.

Thanks

Mat

There is a detailed discussion of timing in the FAQ. Underlying pricing is dynamic and inventory can change between now and your stay both in terms of which hotels may be available and price level. However, while rates can fall, they can easily also go higher if it's a busy time period in the area (and this is) and inventory starts to dry up (and hotels may not discount or discount heavily because they think they'll have walk-ins.)

If you would like assistance, please provide the date/s of travel and desired budget per night.
