Started bidding a 2 1/2 * in the Camarillo area, bid $65 not accepted added 2* upped bid to $70, no good.

Bids ran out . Waited 72 hours and bid $75 on a 2 1/2 in Camarillo and was refused added the Thousand Oaks

area with a 3 * bid $85 accepted by the Hyatt Westlake Village.

Checked out the hotels' website and the rate for AAA was $170.

Thanks for sharing your winning bid.

Before your next bid i would recommend requesting a suggested strategy... even if you choose not to follow it at least it will give you an idea of the logic behind the process. You can even write down your own strategy, then ask for one from us, and then compare the two.

One technique you are using that i want to suggest you reconsider, and i mention it because i'm sure there are others following along and it's a commonly done, is concerning raising your bid while lowering your star quality. We don't recommend you do that, and it is discussed in more detail here: If you lower your quality level, also lower your bid price.

Enjoy your stay and thanks again for posting.
