snobrotha Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Taking my girlfriend for an anniversary getaway. Wanted a 3+star close to Easton mall for shopping.Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $64.00 (USD)Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 2Room Subtotal: $128.00 (USD)Taxes and Fees: $29.91 (USD)Total Room Cost: $157.91 (USD)My bidding history was a little funky. Instead of staying on the screen, I would back out and start over each time I bid, each time keeping the CMH zone constant. During the process I started with a 4* bid at $40. It was rejected, and I backed out and tried it at $50, I repeated this in $10 increments til I reached $80 (my personal limit) and got rejected. Then I lowered it to a 3-star and did the process til I reached $50. At this point I got a notice saying "if you increase your bid by $14, you'll get the room." I thought, hmmm that's cheap for a 3 star, I wonder what I can get for a 3.5* and I got rejected for all of those bids (up to $70). At this point I knew I could get a 3* for $64 dollars, so I went in one last time and booked my room.I wonder if it was a glitch for me since I'm on a network at work.
thereuare Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!As i commented in your other post, i think your ability to bid multiple times without changing any paramters was a glitch, and i wouldn't expect it to continue.Glad you ultimately found success and are happy with the results... sounds like this will work well for your needs.

jbean603 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for the follow-up!I think this win was for Courtyard Airport, not Courtyard Easton. I noticed Courtyard Easton is listed on the Columbus (CMH Airport - Gahanna/Easton) list, however, I can't find a post of any win for Courtyard Easton.
