The title of this thread is: "Hotel programs objective comparrisons". I believe Priceline should be included and I can tell you, they have made my decision on which hotel to use for me tonight. As a Diamond and a Platinum I would be entitled to some upgrades, a free breakfast at Hilton more than likely. But tonight I will be paying $35.00 to the same hotel I have paid as much as $125.00 to last year.
I don't have to worry if they will give me a breakfast coupon or not, I know I won't get one. And the 2,000 points I will loose, well I have no idea what they will be worth next year. I do know where the extra money is going and when it will get there!
