Schultz64 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 After numerous attempts, finally was successful, after changing my dates to exclude Mon. March 13. Used SavingsBarn each timeMarch 9-13, 4*Dupont Circle - $70. Used rebid zones for $75, 80, 85 - all rejectedClosed browser, re-opened and tried:White House - $80. Used rebid zones for $85, 90, 95 - all rejectedClosed browser, re-opened and tried:Both Dupont Circle and White House- $90. Used rebid zones for $95 and 100- all rejected(wanted to keep it under $100)Learned that many hotels were sold-out for Monday night, so this morning, removed the 13th and was successful on first try, so likely could have bid lower. But, still very happy with this as it gave me the option to 'extend my stay' for the same price. - Do you know what the time frame is for this 'limited time offer'?Omni Shoreham Hotel Check-In Date: Friday, March 9, 2007 Check-Out Date: Monday, March 12, 2007 Your Offer Price: $80.00 Extend Your Stay Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Subtotal: $240.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $42.96 Total Charges*: $282.96

Schultz64 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 I was planning to try the 'add nights' option that was provided, which means I wouldn't have to move, and still get it for $80 (assuming that is how it works) do you know how long the 'time limited' offer lasts?-- Just tried and my $80 offer was rejected by Omni. So, yes, I'll need some advice for Monday nightL
thereuare Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Even when offered to 'extend your stay' it is not a guarantee that they have rooms available at that rate.Please start a NEW TOPIC for the remaining nite of your stay in order to keep it separate from your previous win (and we'll be able to ultimately reflect the hotel received in the topic title of the new thread).
