warzbiz Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 I'm working on a post-cruise stay in San Juan for Saturday 3/1/08. I'm using the same strategy provided by Thereuare in the thread for my pre-cruise stay for Friday 2/22/08 in San Juan.I followed the same bidding progression but was rejected all the way through $135.I'll keep trying.
warzbiz Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Posted November 13, 2007 Success (finally)...at $185. I've been at it since the end of July. Bidding up to $175 with no luck. When I saw Sweetair's win at $185 I figured I'd give it another go. I paid a bit more than I was hoping for but it's still a pretty good deal considering rooms are going for $325 through Marriott's website.Here's how it went down:(Using a modified version of the bidding strategy provided by Thereuare in my other post.)
