Hello all,
I just noticed the Travel Bidding forum today (I remember reading that Randy was considering it, but this was the first time that I actually noticed it was listed). Just out of curiousity, what's the future of this forum? I assume it will be more liberal than BFT is, but is it worth it to post our bid results? In other words, if I bid on a hotel & get a good rate (honestly, I rarely use PL because I like to be able to cancel my reservation if need be), should I post it here? Or do we not want this forum to become a bidding forum (which if it does become one, it'll probably attract a lot of non-FT'ers, as I'm sure most FT'ers would post here instead of BFT or other similar sites)? Would this forum be better off being a strategy & concept forum?
In all honesty, I don't see myself being too regular of a contributer to this particular forum as I rarely bid on travel and when I do, it's only for hotels & car rentals, but usually, my corporate car rental rate is pretty decent & if it's not, then unless I'm saving at least 10 bucks in overall costs, I won't bid on a hotel or car from Priceline (and in my experience, I've never really gotten a truly good deal on a PL car, but have had some pretty great deals on hotels in the past). But I was just curious, so I'm asking...Thanks!
