Have you tried the link? I keep getting "We are sorry you are experiencing problems with our web site. Please try these quick tips..."

Posted another one a few minutes ago. It works.

PCLN U.K. encouraged sharing the mail with others.

I recall the last time this happened, a US poster tried to take advantage of it, and priceline revoked the winning bid.

But it's a great bonus if you can get it.

How do they know what a non-U.K. bid is and what a U.K. one is other than the address? I made one in April. Still stands (do wish I could have it revked though as I figure I paid too much).

I have never had problems bidding on priceline.co.uk. I just use "my" UK address http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/wink.gif.

So you just make up a UK address? Don't they also ask you for your credit card billing address? Do you use your real one?

In my experience of 3 successful bids: yes, no, no.

I used my sister's address which my credit cards have never been sent to.

Of course, I have only used the car rental bid. The 2 hotel ones are in October and November.

This worked for me:

This special offer is ONLY available to residents of the United Kingdom (including C.I. and I.o.M.)
However, priceline accepted my US address!??! But my offer was too low!

Looks like this bonus finally died. Tried it today and it's not there. It was as recently at 24 March.

We got a new one currently...go to http://www.cleverbidding.co.uk and click on the logo in the middle of the top of the page...

Seems however that this will also die in a few days as Priceline did not renew these links for quite a while (only available through the affiliate-programs).
