The Sheraton I can book here with MWR ( Meiers Weltreisen ) for 112 Euro ( 139 USD ) per room per night incl. tax/fees, but without ABF ! On this rate I´ll get 8%, which ends me up with around 128 USD !
Holliday Inn I have a net rate of around 90 USD but there are also 4* hotels much cheaper alias Habour Plaza Metropolis and Kimberly for around 75 USD
my bids 85 $ 5* and 52$ 4* have not been accepted. But with the taxes/fees that´s also 101 $ for the 5 * and 60 $ for the 4 *.
And the next worse thing is, all brokers offer only hotel without ABF ! But 180-250 HK$ ( 23 - 32 USD per person ) one pays easyly for ABF !!! That´s 50 % of the roomcosts if you calculate ABF for 2pax with around 50 USD!

The Sheraton Towers Singapore I get here for 135 USD, but incl. ABF for 2 Pax.
