I must admit that until a few months ago I thought Priceline was for people who did not care when, or how they went somewhere, or where they stayed. Since I did not put myself in that category, I never used Priceline. A couple of months ago there was a very good article in the WSJ, which talked about Biddingfortravel and some other ‘lesser’ sites that help with bidding on Priceline. After starting to use Biddingfortravel I’ve had great success in accurately bidding on, and getting Hyatt rooms. In most cases paying a fraction of what the best price on the Hyatt site is, ie $40 a night for the Elliott Grand Hyatt, and $30 for Albuquerque.
After the WSJ article Priceline was forced to pull their support from Biddingfortravel. I believe they were the sites main advertisers. Hopefully if you use this excellent site you will use their links for bidding, post your winning bids to assist others, and anything else that can help the site stay in business. Sites like Mypriceline.com have gone by the wayside since that article was published

Actually I think it is quiete good, that they skipped the partnership, since the admins cancelled a lot of pl critical comments due to the partnerships.
