Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - Did anyone get this e-mail from Priceline?

Just got an e-mail this morning from Priceline with the following subject:

Private Renal Car Pre-Sale Event

Surely, they meant "rental car". Of course these things happen, but it's somewhat funny that they probably had several people proof this e-mail, and it went out with an error. I bet some people at Priceline HQ are hoping upper mgmt. doesn't see this one...

Got the same message.Also received a mail asking me to try my request again for a Vancouver hotel room only a day after my last bid.Thought 3 days was the time I had to wait.I did try again and my bid was to low but it did go through the system.

Now you only have to wait one day as oppossed to three on all rebids.

"Private Renal Car Pre-Sale Event"
Perhaps this means they are selling the cars that customers urinated in. :eek:

I noticed this recently, too. Does anyone know when it changed?

It makes me wonder why it was changed. Too many people placing a bid, getting rejected and then just never coming back, I'd guess. I'd also think that this move would lower the overall accepted bid amounts. I'm much more likely to just increment my bids by smaller amounts like $5 (for the ones without data points on BB or BFT) than I would if I had to wait 3 days where I'd probably increment by $10.

A positive change. Now, if they could just cut it down to an hour. :)

I received the recent renal-rental email but have not bid on P/L for over a year. I assumed it was nasty spam (I think it had an attachment with it) and deleted it without opening the thingee. Has anyone had computer problems after opening it?
