Maximizing the number of bids

[FOFT]

Just had a question about maximizing bids:

Let's say I have three zones that I want to bid on, A, B and C.

I'm happy with any of these - and they all offer 3* hotels.

How many bids can I make? Or more to the point: can I make 7 bids by bidding Zone A, then backing all the way out, then bidding Zone B, and then Zone C?

If Zone C fails, I'd back out and bid, Zones A+C, then A+B then B+C.

If these all fail, then back out and bid A+B+C.

Will this work?

Yes it will.

You better store your credit card info before you start though... That's a lot of typing!!!

But could definitely be worth it. I use the same strategy sometimes and only increase my bid by $1 each time just to see the rock-bottom rate for my dates... Can be fun.

This works really well to increase your free rebids.

Say you want a 4* property and there are 3 rebid zones at the 4* level.

THIS MEANS YOU HAVE SIX FREE REBIDS, NOT THREE.

You bid zone A with the 4*

Then bid A + rebid 1

Then start a new bid and bid A + rebid 2

Then start a new bid and bid A + rebid 3

Then start a new bid and bid A + rebid 1 and rebid 2

Then start a new bid and bid A + rebid 1 and rebid 3

Then add rebid 2
