Really? Thanks for the heads up. So how do I get the hotel confirmation: call the hotel?
BTW, I'm surprised by how expensive priceline seems to me these days. For my own use, I've been mostly relying on hotel points the past couple of years (including big purchases in the Discover America promos). Like I used to be able to easily get an LAX hotel on priceline for $60 or less. Now, not so easy. I'm very reluctant to book 3-star priceline hotels for $100 all in. Seems risky: I'd rather pick my own hotel at that price point.
