Mark0319 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 First time using BetterBidding (used the links every time). Been trying all week to book a weekend getaway for my fiance and I. I was going back and forth between Napa and Monterey and I finally got a bite!Started off around $85 and was increasing by $1 increments. After doing this a few times I was getting frustrated so I started increasing by $5. After failing at 4* late last night I came into work this morning and decided to drop the bidding to 3.5* because it's getting down to the wire and I need a hotel room for next weekend. Started off at $110 for a 3.5* in Monterey and I got back a Priceline rebid request for $132. I canceled out of this and added a rebidding zone and resubmitted at $115. I was pretty stoked when I won and it came back with 4* Hotel! Portola was what I wanted from the start of this process so I'm glad it worked out in the end. Monterey will wind up being significantly cheaper than Napa too, so win win for me!
