SLP Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 Still trying... no luck yet. Thanks for the tip regarding hotwire but I think I'll give it a few more tries.I'm thinking if this doesn't work out, I might change to a 3.5 star hotel. I'll have to research the rebid zones on that though.
Romelle Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Right now you have 6 rebid zones at the 3.5* level also. But make sure to check them again before each bidding session. They can, and do, change.Romelle
