It is still confusing on several cities in US and Canada that you have winning bids listed LOWER than the starting low bid in your tool.

Why?

If BT "hangs during autobid is there now a formal response to reinitialize your bid or does it just continue to just say "loading"?

Would be nice if the OP could respond more than once a week since showed great interest initially on FT feedback.

And yes, the "we're still working on your request" is annoying too.

However, that's all been fixed. Now, if you encounter the "we're still working on your request" page or Priceline stops responding you'll now be given the opportunity to restart the AutoBid exactly where it left off, after you've had a chance to take a look at everything.
