Idea for easier search - Spreadsheet with filters?

[awk316]

First, this is a fantastic website and I greatly appreciate everyone who posts a priceline or hotwire purchase.

When searching for a rate, I prefer to find someone who booked for a similar date. This is especially true for Vegas when conventions can cause rates to greatly fluctuate from weekend to weekend. Is it possible to have a spreadsheet on a thread where eveyone who gets a pricline or hotwire deal can post the hotel name, star rating, price, and date range? This way users could quickly filter for any of the columns they were interested in and find what applies to their search criteria.

Just a suggestion to make this site even easier to navigate. Again, great website and I thank eveyone who contributes!!!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Few problems with what you suggest:

1) It's difficult enough just to get users to post the information needed/requested... let alone begin to also properly filling out a spreadsheet.

2) Chances of finding others with the same exact check-in/check-out dates as your own on any given stay are slim... and although many stays may intersect others stays on the board, having a different check-in/check-out date can greatly affect the 'correct' amounts to bid.
