wtf?! Hotel question

[spedrunner]

So i booked a room in atlantic city for Friday night (Because I am doign a race there Saturday) and with my rewards card/points they were able to give me a price of $80

Turns out i have a viewing to go to fri night and i tried to change my reservation to Saturday night, BUT THEY WANT $250!! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

Has anyone had luck negotiating pricing when it comes to this sort of stuff? I understand its a saturday night vs friday night but STILL

In Atlantic City it is very very common for Saturday nights to cost much more than Friday night because Saturday is the more popular night, and prices for hotels go up as time goes on so this Saturday probably costs more than it did a few weeks ago. I don't think there's anything you can do really. Maybe pick a different hotel?

Yeah sorry I think you may be out of luck. We go to AC enough that we can get comped any night of the week but Saturday when we always have to pay full price. If you watch the prices closely and call when it drops they will give you the lower price. Other than that we have stayed out in Absecon at clean, cheap (though not nice) places.
