Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - Priceline bid with non-US addressView Full Version : Priceline bid with non-US address airoli Mar 20, 02, 3:45 am I tried to bid on a Priceline hotel stay today but the website didn't accept my international address. Is there any way I can still use the service, or is it for US residents only? Thanks. ------------------ airOli (http://www.olimade.com/airoli), the Swiss Air Line.

Always worth trying if your bid on the UK site is rejected.

Forgot about that detail, since I keep an Amex card with US billing address for dollar transactions. Amex USA's Private Payments single-use numbers are great for online purchases.
