Welcome to the downside of Priceline.


There isn't (or at least i haven't found it) a way to specify times and once you've made your bid... you're stuck with it. Due to this, I suggest thinking carefully about how much having no idea what your travel plans will be is worth saving and bid accordingly. You might want to try imandi.com. I haven't used it but have heard you can specify times.

All this being said, I used priceline to go to a wedding in June and it gave great price and great service. Plus it was my only operational upgrade ever so United, at least, does not treat priceline customers differently (still no miles though).
