frugalnotcheap Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Posted February 14, 2006 SUCCESS! $75 for the 4* Wyndham Boston on 2/19/06. I followed your suggested strategy and finally captured the room when I hit the first $75 mark try. Thanks a lot for your assistance once again, and I did book throug the SavingsBarn.com link. BetterBidding is the best. The only bummer is that is doesn't look good for the Wyndham By Request perks; but I could take the money I saved and spend it on something I really want -- like dinner out!Until next time...
