SkyAuction per night bid question?

[kenman64]

I have won the auction: Bid Per Night & Choose Your Length of Stay at
the Hotel RIU Orlando near Disney included taxes and fees $70. I want to stay more than one night (4 nights), how do I request for that?

Anyone done this before please help. Thank you.

provide your dates after you've won your auction?

Most of the ads will state the period of time that the ressie would be applicable, for eg, Length of reservation:from 1-7 nights, or 1-10 nights, or 1-14 nights...I have seen them up to 30 nights.

Give them a call if you have questions that can't be answered in the FAQ, or in the email that they sent you advising that you've won I found them to be most helpful

HTH!!

did you win the bid for 70$ or was it 38$ per night then the 32$ per night service charge???

they also have a 15$ processing fee in additional to the total nights cost...

eg....

2 nights .....140$ plus 15$ if you won the bid for 38$ ( and the usual 32$ service charge fee is applied ), if it was 70$ it might be 102$ per night ....thus 204$ plus 15$ fee

lawgs, I won the bid at $19, plus $32 tax then $15 service fees the total is $66. I put down 2 nights because that what the minimum is, so the total is $117. Now I think I regret bidding for this hotel because base on reviews from TripAdvisor.com and people who stayed there it is bad (1*) over all.

Questions for the forum...

I have already submitted all the info request for booking to SkyAuction, but they have not charged my CC yet.

Are there anyway I can get out of the winning bid at all?

Cancelling the auction or not excepting the auction will result in $95 administrative fee, is this worth it?

If I bid on a 7 nights package (the Vacation Village at Parkway) total $211 includes all taxes and fees, which cost less than the per night stay (4 nights = $219), can I stayed just 4 nights eventhought I paid for the 7 nights?

Any info or advices what to do would be appreciated.

Thank you.

you can always stay less nights......since you are paying for the whole week it does not matter to them, you would just have to make sure you notified the front desk at Vacation Village......


just make sure you get a FULL kitchen, those one bedroom units are a bit larger and have better amenities


thanks for posting about your bid .......a lot do not realize that the per night bids are not as cost effective

The only way you cna get out of the RIU one is if the hotel has no vacancy for your dates. SA won't charge your CC until they have a confirmed booking.
