Priceline Hotel: 3* Savannah (Historic district) $85 rejected

[Aprilmay]

Bid from $60 up to $85 using free rebids, all rejected. This is our max right now, might go up closer to vacation dates.

As usual, I bid via www.SavingsBarn.com.

Just an update... prices have gone down on Hotwire as well as on the Hyatt website. Still, bids up to $95 are rejected. My back-up is $100/nt, so I'm very close to my limit at $95. I'll try again in three days.

Again, rejected up to $96.

Although the internet rate is constant throughout this stay, look at the 'prevailing rate' when searching for the sole nite of 9/22

Hmmm.... interesting....

9/22 is $290 as opposed to $215 for the other two nights. Wonder what that's about.... I do know that the Hyatt is hosting a 350 person convention the 22nd thru the 26th. In any case, thanks for pointing that out to me.

My back-up is the Thunderbird Inn (gets great reviews on TripAdvisor) at $102/nt, but it's a bit on the outskirts of the Historic District, and I'd rather have the likes of the Hyatt in the middle of the city.

I just checked Hotwire, and the 3.5* that I believe to be the Hyatt is not available for 9/22, although it does come up for 9/21-9/23.

Thanks for your help, Thereuare. I'll continue to bid every three days via the SB link!

AprilMay,

I noticed you mentioned the SavingsBarn link in another post as well.

I don't understand the significance of that. ???

Could you explain it to a newbie?

Thanks!

OK once again I found my answer after posting a question,

the reasons for using SavingsBarn are posted here, right?

Yes, BetterBidding receives a "commission" if I start my Priceline and Hotwire purchases through www.SavingsBarn.com. I choose to do so because I get so much helpful information from this site, and I want to support it. It takes so much (money and time) to keep up a site like this, especially without all of the annoying pop-ups and confusing advertisements, and I'm just doing my part to keep it that way.

I would not be able to take half of the weekend/overnight trips that I do if not for Better Bidding.

One last update.....Rejected up to $100 for 3*, up to $68 for 2.5*. I'm a little bummed, especially about the 2.5* rejections. I guess we'll stick with our backup.
