Thank you for your feedback!

coolwulf,

What is the logistics behind the website? It seems as if the website is designed to cut into Priceline's bottom line, which begs the question of when the website reaches a critical mass (enough users to gain attention), is Priceline going to take action?

I have been a long time user of Priceline and also a long time lurker of this forum. Curious on if it's feasible for this website to last. If it can, I would like a invite as well. Thanks.

Just tried with Washington DC hotel in late Aug. Didn't work well. It suggested the lowest bid should be around $107. However the express price is already lower than that. So based on the express price tag:102, I bid it for $90 they didn't accept. I cleaned my cookie and tried again with $99. They accepted it.
BTW: I paid $5.99 for BPC service to get three points. Each point can give you one inquiry.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience. It seems that what happened is one of (possible high grade) hotel was sold out before you actually bid yours. This is a very rare case (Considering your travel dates are in Aug, any particular meeting/events going on that time?). And I just double checked the same request and found out for the same request, the minimum bidding price right now is actually $79. Anyway, we have refund all your cost.

I just created my account (username: frandblinkc) and checked the price for :

Savannah, GA Sun., Aug 3 - Fri., Aug 8
Zone 1
3.5 star

It cost me 1 point and there was a hint "Please check your email later", but I didn't get the email.

I checked my account, it seems that your website automatically replace my "email" with my account name, even thougth I tried updating several times.

Could you please have a look to see if that is a bug or something?

Thanks!
