In this case you are using priceline as a vanilla OTA. The fare is a normal published fare from MU (though only offered through limited channels).
When I did have issues, they were always when I failed to insure I had my DL FF# on the MU ticket as I checked in. So verify that at check-in even if you previously verified on the web.
I was never asked for a receipt or BP from DL to fix this when I did have an issue. I submitted my ITN and they could verify I was on the flight,
Great - thank you. That's good to hear! I was surprised at how much cheaper Priceline was vs. other OTAs but the limited channels thing makes sense.
I called MU this morning and added my DL number. Will make sure it's there at check-in as well. Also have a print out of the Ticket Validation system from MU's website. Hope that's enough should there be any problems.
