According to me, this is a new feature (maybe due to the change to Sabre? --> Thread), hence would warrant an own thread I thought.
While I have received offers to buy early check-in or upgraded rooms (many many years ago), it is the first time that I have encountered bidding for an upgrade.
anybody else seen this? any experiences?
This could devalue the Globalist tier further as free upgrades upon check-in may become less probable.
I will only be spending 2 nights here, before moving to another hotel for a wedding, just want to get the badge, since it is the only Vivid currently ;). arriving late and only having 1 full day here. so no intention to bid.
I booked the base room. Junior Deluxe is 2 categories higher (although same room layout and size, so only the view is different). The Premium Jr Suite is the largest non-club room (50% larger).
It will be interesting to see, what room I get as an LT Glob without bidding…
