Could you give the details on your successful bid criteria?
1. Browser used and version
2. Hotel city, rating, zone, and dates
3. Low/high bid amounts entered
4. Number of auto rebids

I'd like to find a criteria that works efficiently. Auto rebid function seems inconsistent so knowing your data points to test would be appreciated.

As the OP notes there are still problems with the algorithm as BT continues to show many winning bids lower than the suggested starting low bid price. The tool has outsmarted itself as it should reference at a minimum the starting low bid price based on the previous winning bid criteria. I have noticed this in a few cities for the same weekend dates as I attempted bids.

Had no issues setting up and using this for the first time.

Good work guys!
