Consumer WebWatch--Jan 04 Consumer Reports, Opaque Travel Web Sites
Has anyone else read the Jan 04 Consumer Reports article (pg. 6 ) and the research report done by William McGee? I have read both and I have heartburn on the hotel results when using Priceline compared to Hotwire.
Thanks!

I'm 100% sure the hotel results are 80% BS.

Yes. We all read and commented on it to death last month when it was released. Yes, it is BS because the authors display their ignorance of bidding strategy and informational websites such as BFT/BB.
