You are, since it is all too obvious that I have supplied him with far more information in connection with his query, than you have, to date. Were I intending to be snide or otherwise unhelpful, I would not have supplied him any information, as you have declined to do.

There is nothing unethical to give the account-# to the hotel chain.
I had recently 3 reservations through Priceline: Hyatt HY, Marriott MUC and Westin Stamford.
On the Priceline reservation is the reservation number for each hotel. I called each reservation center, gave my account-# and asked to add it to the file, asked for non-smoking, higher level ... etc.
I got HOTEL-POINTS for all 3 stays. With Hyatt and Marriott I have "Tin-Status", for the Westin stay I got a 50% elite bonus.
I know, he asked for FF miles. I know nothing about this.
I am very pleased with Priceline, never had a problem, never bad service at the hotels, it's a good business model. And the prices are so low, that I would not mind when I don't get points/miles. I paid $111 total for the Marriott MUC; the minimum price at the hotel was 300+ Euro. I wonder who would pay such a price, may be nobody...
