Off & Away

They are an «affiliate» so they don’t directly book hotels. Very confusing and there’s no way you can win a bid unless you have a ton of credits and have it on «auto»… most people win in off hours after everyone used all their money.

You buy credits which are $ 1 each to bid on what seem like AMAZING hotel deals — many local to Seattle.
I thought ‘why not?!’ and bought $ 25 worth of bids.
It’s a bit confusing but in short– for $ 25, I can bid 25 times, regardless of what the current bid price is, one bid = $ 1.
Hmmm, so I’m trying it now, and an auction scheduled to end at 1pm is still going at 1:15… wha? yes. that’s the bitch of it. For every bid placed at the under 2 min mark, it adds 15 seconds to the countdown clock. So, uh, it could go on for F’ing-EVER.
There’s no way to stop the bidding unless the other people get bored and I am sensing from the number of active bidders that I get bored much more easily than these guys.
For me, it’s the last time I’ll try this.
Oh, lucky me, I can use the $ spent bidding on hotel stays so it’s not really lost, is it? No, but my time is.
