awk316 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Posted August 7, 2008 $22/$23 were rejected as well. Tomorrow will be $24/$25. If we don't get it for $25 we're going to stop for now and try again as it gets closer to our travel date.Andy
thereuare Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks for the update...If you do fail i would definately book a back-up (most car rental agencies will take a reservation without a credit card) to protect yoursel from prices rising while you continue to wait to bid again (we have links to most of the major companies in our support page)Good luck bidding tomorrow.
