been using priceline for years, and I cant definitively claim i used them for more than 30 booking so far, and if they always saved me a bundle!!! compared to travelocity and expedia they provide a better value and their maps are better drawn if you want to bid blindly !!! and 2 times where i had issues with the hotel ( infected rooms) they cancelled my bidding and I was able to check out ... and refunded me for rooms booked on Name your price!!!

i'm a field engineer and i spend extensive period of time travelling , in 2010 after my apartment lease expired i decided to not renew it and for a whole year I used priceline to book hotel rooms in my time off, that saved me thousands of dollars!!! and extremely nice value for my money for $40 to $60/night bidding i was able to get 3 stars and up in different cities, $45/night in Hyatt in DC, $40 /night in Marriott Courtyard in Virginia, Austin and Houston, $50 in Hilton ...and so many other amazing bookings!!! ...that thrill that i get while bidding on Priceline is part of the why I Iove priceline !!! ....good job priceline , keep it up.
