Canada2012 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I am attending the Rihanna concert in Detroit with friends and upon bidding it never dawned on me that this was going into the Easter Weekend so I couldn't figure out why in March the rates were so high.I tried with a maximum bid of $100 for 3*-4*. Then went up to $115 then $125 and finally $135 all rates in Canadian Dollars.So after the rebidding 4 different days with 4 different maximum bids I got the Doubletree Downtown Fort Shelby.So far I have had Greektown Casino Hotel, Westin Book Cadillac Hotel, Courtyard Marriott Downtown Hotel and now the Doubletree Downtown on my now four different times staying in Detroit between March 2015 and March 2016.Thanks guys for teaching me the strategy it works awesome and I have received awesome rates. On Hotels.com the going rate is $178 Canadian Dollars a night ($410 for the two nights) compared to $135 Canadian Dollars a night ($317 for two nights). Link to comment
