I'm going to be in Arizona in a couple of weeks. Hotel rates during the summer are very low. After reading up at www.betterbidding.com and bidding for travel, I can see that everyone is 'getting' 3 and 4 * properties for next to nothing. Not that much of a price difference compared with what's out there.

The reason why I'm staying at *woods is because I was targeted for a bonus program. Then, throw in some bonus points for using my second *wood card, and I'm reaping a mini-bonanza in the point department. So this time, I'm paying a little more, for a big return on investment (depending on how you value your points. @:-)
