beckman4463 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 This is the fourth day I bid for a 3 star hotel in Ontario. I thought I could get the hotel around $41. The last two days I placed a bid I received a notice I could add $12 to my bid to get a hotel. I decided to follow the advice of this board and rebid instead. Here's what I did. Day 1 - 38, 40Day 2 - 41, 43Day 3 - 41 (notice to increase $12), rebid 43Day 4 - 41 (notice to increase $12), rebid 45Any advice on how much to increase my only rebid and possibly get the hotel?TIA

thereuare Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Congratulations on your win.For a few dolalrs savings i think you were smart to lock this in and be done with it... always a chance that rates could have increased too (or sold out!).Thank you for sharing your results and starting your bids with the links at SavingsBarn.comEnjoy your stay.
