LHFlyer Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 A friend of mine let me use his expiring miles, so I booked a side trip to Denpasar from Bangkok. Bid this a few times - started at $55 and added Kuta as a free rebid for $1 more. Had friends help me bid before hitting it at $60. Cheapest rate at westin.com is $95. Having seen $55 bids before - i was a bit surprised it took more than that. My first plan was to try bidding for a 4* hoping for an upgrade to the Westin as the 5* minimum is $55. However, there is a Novotel in this area at least which could be a Priceline 4*. Nights were booked separately, so here's the breakdown of a 1-night bid.The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali Lot 2, Btdc Po Box 36 Bali, Indonesia 62-361-771906 Nusa Dua - BenoaCheck-In Date: Monday, June 27, 2005 Check-Out Date: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 Your Offer Price: $60.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $60.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $19.92 Total Charges: $79.92

Chris26WI Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Lucky you, I tried for long time end of December/beginning of January for 2-3 nights in Bali (also for 4-star in Kuta - hoping for the Mercure there -, but 4-/5-star Nusa Dua as well) - to stay 2nd half of January - no way up to 75 US$ bid, even for 4 star... Enjoy it!
