I just set it and forget it, and it emails me if it finds a better rate. It's really no work at all, now that it's built. Because I book so far in advance, there are always more than a dozen bookings that it is regularly monitoring, hence the desire to leverage technology. Plus, I just like techy things. I am a Chief Information Officer in my day job, so it's just something I enjoy.
I would love to see this as an app and will pay for it hahahah
