dave Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 3* 9/9 - 9/13Bids up till $30 rejected. Was in a slight state of panic. Fortunately girlfriend managed to secure successful bid $31 - through savingsbarn of course :) OTMy hunch is that yield management software noted my previous successful bid for earlier dates at $33 and refused to accept anything below $30. I speculate that if a new user came in with a bid of slightly below $30 might have been accepted.Views anyone :)
thereuare Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Did you get the same hotel on the second bid as you did with this RADDISON win?There is no yield management software as you describe, it's as simple as the bottom lowest available rate was $31/nite and you eventually hit upon it. The entire system is automated and rates are loaded into the system by each hotel. If your bid is equal to or higher than the loaded rate then you will win your hotel.
