almimi Posted October 3, 2012 Report Posted October 3, 2012 Started bidding at $180 for Copley, Quincy Market and Boston Common zones. Received counter offer to increase bid by $50. I know from past experience that you can usually win the room for about half the counter offer if you close the browser, start a new bid, and add the free rebid zones. Added a couple of other desirable zones along with some free rebid zones and bid up in $5.00 increments until $205 was accepted. Total $481.96 with taxes and fees, which is more than I like to spend but I was going to pay the same amount at our cancellable backup hotel in Newton. I've been using the board's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links for several weeks now for these dates and I'm very happy with the win. Big convention and with lots of sold out hotels in Boston this weekend. Hope this post helps someone else. :)
