Tarek Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 Hi,Thanks for the help. I went through all bid options but unfortunately no success.Are my dates to far out to get a good deal now?Regards,Tarek
AaronJB Posted May 19, 2013 Report Posted May 19, 2013 Unfortunately, this is a tough period in the city - the Fall and early Winter are generally expensive. You have time, so what I would suggest would be to continue to try up to $180 once every 3-5 days. If a couple of months go by and nothing accepts, then you could look at alternate star ratings/zones or raising your desired max.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
