Yep, it seems that it must have struck a nerve with the providers. Priceline itself from the WSJ article obviously didn't have a problem with it, but someone must have threatened to stop supplying them if they didn't sever their ties. I wonder if any other travel-related affiliates got axed? Priceline has an "affiliate" program the same way Amazon does. Anyone with a web site can sign up, put up a link and make a cut of any click-through purchases. The affiliate link is still on Priceline.com, so I assume the trouble is only with BFT and potentially other travel sites with such discussion if there were any.
