skyauction question?

[Kmygrl73]

I see there are a lot of auctions with certain dates such as Aug. 13, 20th, etc. Is this something that they do often so when Sept, Oct. come there will also be these same auctions offered for different dates. Kind of like last minute? I am interested in October and might be able to win an auction now with my check in date but I thought there might be more offered as October gets closer like there are on there now with August!!!

Thanks,
Kim

Kmygrl73,

You are correct. There will be plenty of availability for October closer to your dates. We won an Auction last October for the Vistana Resort and had a great time. You can also go the RSG route and check there inventory now. http://www.skyauction.com/resort/readysetgo.do We found that RSG auctions allow us to book further in advance while still getting a great deal.

Thanks for the address at skyauction! Are those resorts sold by the week? Is there a set price?I didn't see the 195/week fee mentioned. Thanks for any additional info!

gibmom,

There are generally three types of auctions you will find (7-Day, Ready Set Go and Bid per Night). The best deals are usually found on the following two:

*7-Day Auction - Total price = $195 (tax) + $15 (process fee) + your bid + any upgrades. (Note: Some 7-Day auctions have a surcharge for the more popular times of year. If so, add that too.)

*Ready Set Go Auction - Total price = $195 (tax) + $15 (process fee) + your bid (Have not seen any surcharges associated with RSG auctions)
