This link tells hotels they should load at least three different Priceline rates, suggesting they have the option to load more.

Interesting.... My hotel is with Utell for our GDS provider and I now will be calling in my Reservation Manager to find out if it is different if you go via Utell or direct to PL.

Even so, the tiers could be what I wrote before but highest "tier" is a min discount of X%.

thanks for the link!!
