When you bid on Priceline you are asked the name of person who will be using the reservation. This is not necessarily the person making the bid or paying for it. Priceline claims that the person named as the guest on the bid is only one that can use the reservation. They say that another person can come along but the reservation is specified. When I made a reservation for someone else but failed to put their name in the form, it wound up in my name. PL would not change it and said that I'd have to make another reservation and pay again, but I should check with the hotel. Of course, the hotel said it's no problem and simply changed the name. Priceline, as usual, is not helpful on this, so be careful.
