Sorry to revive an old thread but didn't see a more current one with the subject specifically about 3rd party bookings. I'm aware that Priceline bookings don't earn points or night/stay credits. Older threads I've read indicate that Priceline bookings do still allow elite benefits like upgrades, wifi, etc. Is this still the case? Can someone point me out to anything in the T&C that states one way or another (searched and couldn't find anything).
It is still possible as of late last year. Have not yet seen any push-back, but finding this spelled out is not easy. Priceline regular is o.k.; with opaque bookings it gets a bit trickier, because I have not seen them spelled out specifically
Have you ever thought about price matching with Marriott?
You can't. Priceline name your own price or Hotire hot rate or Priceline express deal and a few others are not eligible for price match.
