Did PL reduce the rebid wait time?
I've been able to re-bid for my Shanghai hotels the next day without making additional changes -- did Priceline get rid of the 72-hour wait?

I've more had winning bids on priceline.com for hotels in some countries with less than 12-hours before check-in and even on day of stay. Is that new?

I think they lost many customers who just switched over to PL Asia (which doesn't have waiting times but only minimum-increase-levels) after been rejected on PL US.
