icabarburus Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 I'm pretty happy with that result! I didn't mind if I was in the Convention Centre-Capitol Hill, White House-Downtown or Dupont Circle-Woodley Parkzones. With all the 4* rebid zones available and using different combinations, I was able to get an obscene amount of rebids.Bid history goes something like this (I think I can remember it...)$60/night White House-Downtown - rejected$65/night White House-Downtown + 1 rebid zone - rejected$70/night White House-Downtown + 2 rebid zones - rejected$75/night White House-Downtown + 3 rebid zones - rejected$80/night White House-Downtown + 4 rebid zones - rejectedI then got confused with my strategy and started the next zone higher - but it all worked out for the best.$80/night Dupont Circle-Woodley Park - rejected$85/night Dupont Circle-Woodley Park + 1 rebid zone - rejected$90/night Dupont Circle-Woodley Park + 2 rebid zones - rejected$95/night Dupont Circle-Woodley Park + 3 rebid zones - rejectedThen I tried Convention Centre - Capitol Hill with combinations...$80/night CC-CH - rejected$85/night CC-CH + WH-D - rejected$90/night CC-CH + WH-D + DC-WP - rejected$95/night CC-CH + WH-D + DC-WP + 1 rebid zone - rejected$100/night CC-CH + WH-D + DC-WP + 2 rebid zones - rejected$105/night CC-CH + WH-D + DC-WP + 3 rebid zones - ACCEPTED!Was a fantastic luck of the draw - it was going to be my last bid before giving up and settling for one of the B&Bs I had found.I feel really bad that I hadn't read the forums enough to see about using savingsbarn.com before it was booked. :) I'm trying for a hotel in Chicago still (locked out at the moment), so I'll make sure I'll use it then.
