Do you get onepass miles when you book through priceline?
I flew a couple of weeks ago after booking through Priceline to get cashback (but it was still a normal price flight) and it hasn't shown up with onepass yet. Does it just take a while or are you not eligible for miles if you book through priceline? It asked for my number when I did it so I would be surprised if it didn't work.

generally no. If it is a deal where you named your own price or saw the price after agreeing to buy, no miles are given.
If you saw the fare before agreeing to buy, then probably will get the miles.

I think it's less about seeing the price before you buy (who would buy a fare without seeing the price ) and more about seeing the airline before you buy.

Priceline offers different ways of purchasing airline tickets. You can put in a bid, and if it's accepted, Priceline will tell you the carrier and the routing. This method would yield an "unpublished" fare.
But Priceline also acts as a traditional online travel agent, displaying a variety of published fares, showing airline and routing in advance of purchase. It sounds like this is the method the OP used, so he should be on a "published" fare, and thus entitled to OnePass mileage credit.
