stardeo Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Bid Downtown St. Paul $40. Added Downtown Minneapolis at $55. Accepted: Crowne Plaza Northstar Downtown Minneapolis. Taxes at $21.82. Booked on 7/19/07.Went maybe higher than needed, but had to have plans set on the 19th, so couldn't come back for the 24hrs. But, not the worst deal. Friend mentioned they have a "Education or AAA Rate" over phone for $89. Website lists $109 as best rate for the days. Girlfriend very happy: she's stayed there before and says it's very nice! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Congratualtions on your win!There are better ways for you to have bid this, so feel free to ask for help before bidding for your next stay. Still about half price of conventional rates, and you're happy with the outcome, so a "success" :)Enjoy your stay.

stardeo Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yes, there are much better ways to have bid on this! I got the time to READ more than just the posting guidelines today. I only got to glance at the board when I had to bid, and I'm sure glad I did! I probably would have ended up even higher if I didn't get a chance to see just some of the winning bids overall here.I'm not going to sweat the extra dollars this time, but I know I can do better in the future!
