Bidding same price repeatedly

[rockymountains]

Does anyone bid the same price on a hotel, get rejected, then try again numerous times?

How often does it work?

Not sure if you mean minutes apart of bidding the same amount every day for a few weeks.

Basically hotels have a minimum threshold that they set at which point they'll accept a hotel... below that threshold you get rejected, above that threshold you win a hotel. Hotels do change this 'threshold rate' based upon supply, demand, occupancy levels, time remaining to sell rooms on their own, etc. So if you are going to be successful at an amount that was previously rejected, you need a hotel in the zone to lower their acceptance price to an amount equal to or lower than the amount you had just previously bid.

So bidding the same amount 2-3 minutes apart isn't going to work, bidding the same amount every day (or every 2-3 days) over a period of weeks/months may work if a hotel has lowered rates since your previous bid.
