Signed up! But a few things...
1. I was surprised to discover that the Travelocity hotel gift card is apparently limited in scope. In other words, it's not good on any hotel listed on the regular Travelocity site.
2. I couldn't figure out where to see how many points I have?
3. Since you don't 'redeem' your points and the max plateau listed is 1000 points, does that mean that there are no rewards after reaching 1000 points?

Frankly I would have hoped for a better earning structure. Currently you get 10 pts per purchase when you use their referral link, and 100 pts == $10 (as a gift card). So that's $1 / referral as a gift card.
How much does that site make? With enough volume priceline pays a 7% affiliate fee on hotels, so the rewards back to us is pretty meager.
And compare it to FatWallet cashback: there you actually get cash, not GCs, and they give you a full 3% back. So unless your TOTAL priceline spend is less than $33, you're better off with FWCB, and usually much better off.
So while I'll continue to look at betterbidding or this site for PL advice, they would really have to increase their rewards for me to use their affiliate link. Considering they are trying to build up a new forum for this from scratch, they should be giving us a lot more rewards in the building since they need to start the network effect
