I now regularly book rooms for myself and others in the company for business travel using Priceline. My company is not cheap, but we also would not be staying at high end hotels usually when we travel for business, but by using Priceline I am usually able to secure rooms at nice hotels for less than we would be paying at the Hampton Inn/Courtyard by Marriott type properties we would otherwise typically be staying at. The loss of points doesn't bother me or others in our company since we like staying at the nicer hotels instead, and elite benefits are so hit or miss with hotels anyway that's almost a non-factor.
