In fact, you're probably picked up some adware elsewhere, that is triggered by going to the Priceline website. Having said that, it's not very specific adware, as, whenever I've seen it, it tailors the pop-ups to the site you're visiting.

Still, I really wouldn't blame Priceline for this.

I use AdAware on my laptop, and it does the trick nicely.
You may be right.... I apologize to Priceline. I do have the free version of adware on my computer but in the past when I have been hit with this ebates program it has not picked it up when I have done the manual search .....
