jaejaebee Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Can anyone give me a bidding strategy for at least a 3* hotel in the MP-Loop-GP area? I know all the tricks but would like to know what would be a good starting bid. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 We'll supply a strategy to follow, but please let us know your maximum bid so that we don't provide a strategy that is more than you want to bid.

jaejaebee Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm not sure if it's realistic, but I'd like to not go over $80. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Would you first want to try for a 4* up to your limit, or is price the most important aspect?Also, are you not interested in the NMA/River North area? (could give you extra bidding opportunities)Let us know regarding the above and then we'll be able to supply a strategy that suits your needs.

jaejaebee Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I would have to say that price is more important than whether it's 3 or 4 star. I would like to stay as close to the Sears Tower as possible, as I need to be across the street from there very early the next morning. But if you think that getting a cheaper room is more realistic in NMA/River North, that's fine too. I guess that's what taxis are for. Link to comment

jaejaebee Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Since I've had the luxury of plenty of time, I've been bidding for the past few weeks. I won't go into too much details about my bids, since I've made so many of them, but I pretty much started at $60 trying for a three or four star hotel in NMA or the Loop. My bid of $76 finally got accepted at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza. Not the greatest, but it's very convenient to where I have to be. I used Savings Barn. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Congratulations on your win... and thank you using the SavingsBarn.com links to begin your bidding.Do you recall your highest previously rejected bid in this zone before this $76 acceptance?Have a great stay.
