1337 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Was aiming for a 3* in City Hall or Bugis areas of Singapore. There is no 2* in City Hall or Bugis, so selecting 2* serves as a free rebid. Naturally, a new/undocumented 2* could pop up, but I was willing to risk it. The strategy was essentially this: "Bid low on 3* today, bid high on 5* today. Then, tomorrow, the previous 5* bidding price becomes today's 3* bidding price." No luck though. Decided to give up after $160, because I saw cheaper rack rates on agoda.com that met my criteria. I booked Hotel Grand Pacific on agoda.com for roughly $160 before taxes and fees. Still, thought it'd be worth posting my bidding data.Day 1 (Wednesday, 7/4/12)$100 3* City Hall + Bugis$110 2* City Hall + BugisDay 2 (Thursday, 7/5/12)$120 3* City Hall + Bugis [rebid offer for $163]$130 2* City Hall + Bugis $140 5* City Hall + Bugis + (free zones: East Coast)$150 5* City Hall + Bugis + (free zones: East Coast, Financial District)$155 5* City Hall + Bugis + (free zones: East Coast, Financial District, Riverside)Day 3 (Friday, 7/6/12)$150 3* City Hall + Bugis [rebid offer for $183]$160 2* City Hall + BugisUsed the PRICELINE link.
