hu1112 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Started bidding 4* from $110, then add the free re-bid zone (including Victoria Airport Area even though they have 4* hotel available, but I knew that I would never win at this price because the 4* hotel in this zone is at least $300).After trying add the re-bid zone and $5.00 increase of every bid, tried for few days, at some point, it offered me $148, I declined. Then I won the hotel at price of $130.Before I start to bid the hotel, I would compare all the 4* undisclosed hotels on Hotwire, Priceline and Expedia. At that time, they all showed 4* Ocean Property around $148 (regular price $189). So that's how I know I would get this property because other 4* price are more than $148.Very happy with the winning, tried to extend the stay at the same price, but hotel can only offered me the rate at $169+.
