Latitudes Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 I figured I could snag a 4* at BOS Logan for around $65, which seems to be the going rate of previous posters. Following LHR_Tim's strategy, I bid low and then rebid at the sweet spot. No such luck:[*]4* Revere - Logan Airport $55 - Rejected[*]+ Medford - Somerville $63 - Rejected[*]+ South Boston - $65 - RejectedI'll wait out the stand-down period and try again.

XCountryFlyer Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 I've also had trouble bidding for two rooms for one night, 9/18-9/19. I've gone up to $95 each for 4* Downtown and Logan. All rejected.

Latitudes Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Posted August 19, 2005 Yup - an increase of $3 from a few days back. I was surprised when it came back as accepted; the Priceline recommended bid jumped from $159 to $339 in a matter of days. I figured availability was tighter and that I would have to bid much higher.
