daisyduck Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 During the past 2 weeks I have been bidding on 3* Bloomington/MOA from $40-$47 for 10/21/ to 10/24, using the 5 free bids unsuccessfully, but was asked to rebid $13 once, but was out of bids. I have done this daily. The reg. Sheraton hotel prices varied from $104 to $174. Saturday being the cheaper and Monday the most expensive. Do you suggest I split it up by bidding Sat & Sun together and trying to add on Monday later? I still have 2 months till the trip. Any constructive suggestions would be appreciated. Have really appreciated cntrfieldsmoms numerous tips. Thanks!
thereuare Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 What is your maximum bid?Are you willing to change hotels during your stay? Would it be worth $10-$20 to not have to change hotels?

daisyduck Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Posted August 21, 2006 My maximum bid is $52. When my trip becomes closer, I may decide to take risk and bid on two different dates.Thanks.

daisyduck Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Posted August 21, 2006 I have used my 4 re-bids for the past 1-1/2 weeks, but to no avail. I do not want to go down to 2.5*, therefore, may have to go higher, since the rate for Sheraton is now $119, $179, & $209 for the 3 nights I'm looking for. I have been using the savingsbarn link each time. Thanks.
daisyduck Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Posted August 22, 2006 Bid was accepted for 10/21 & 10/22 for Sheraton MOA for $43 per night, the first time I tried these dates. Last week I tried the same thing and stopped at $47 after running out of 4 free rebids. Linked thru Savings Barn, of course. Thanks cntrfieldsmom!
