BLI-Flyer Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 $50/night for 2 rooms for 4 nights. Total cost was $479.66. Current cost on the Doubletree web site is $139/room. Not a bad price considering the lowered hotel room inventory in Texas recently because of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. I started bidding at $50/night based on recent successes posted here, and got it on my first bid. I wish I had started at $40/night!

BLI-Flyer Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I found three bids for the San Antonio Airport for around the same time, $42 for 10/5, $47 for 10/6, and $60 (Holiday Inn Select) for 10/13 - 10/19. Since the 10/13 - 10/19 most closely matched the time frame I was looking for (10/12 - 10/16), I thought starting my bid $10 lower at $50 was a decent strategy and would allow me a few rebids using zones with only 2* hotels. In retrospect, I probably could have started at $40 or $45. Anyway, I'm happy with $50. I'm traveling on business and the company I'm consulting with will reimburse me up to $95/night in San Antonio. They're happy I saved them around $400. Alaska MVP Gold/AA Platinum/HHonors Gold/Marriott Silver/Priority Club Gold/Priceline Addict Link to comment
