Pros: Best airfares
Cons: Inability to choose flight times
Flying can sometimes cost an arm and a leg, but Priceline makes it possible to set your OWN price and save money off of airline prices. Especially if you're traveling on short notice. Ever check the less-than-14-day airfare through an airline? Upwards...

Pros: sometimes if you win their guessing game, you save money
Cons: you didnt think you can actually get a plane ticket for $.10 did you?
If you can chose your own price, everyone would love it, but the fact of the matter is that you can get cheaper groceries at your supermarket. Lets say we want to buy a Half Gallon of Edy's Chocolate Chip ice cream- retails at 4.59, when it is on sail...

Pros: The best price, great communications, wonderful end results!
Cons: The only thing I did not like was the fact that you cannot specify the airlines you wish to travel
I have to be honest and say that when I first heard of Priceline.com, I was skeptical -- and that is a major understatement! I thought there had to be a catch . . . how could they beat the airlines' prices? I was also apprehensive about giving my...

Pros: Good for emergencies or spur of the moment trips(when you can't bargain)
Cons: Found cheaper prices elsewhere
We have TRIED to use priceline for hotels, airlines and groceries. All three have failed us. The first time was when we were going to Florida. They rejected our price and I just went to the Continental Airlines website and found cheaper tickets than what...

Pros: Cheap tickets
Cons: can't use your Frequent Flyer Card
I have used Priceline for my flight plans at least 4 times and every time I have come up a winner.
Basically you go to Priceline.com and sign up. The registration is free. You then put in what dates you want to travel and how much you are...

Pros: Great prices, excellent + helpful service
Cons: you are locked in to the price, there's no backing out!
Priceline was recommended to me by a friend whose daughter lives in New York. She uses Priceline extensively for flights back home, that is, here in the metro Milwaukee-Chicago area. I decided to give it a try on my trip to New Mexico last August and...

Pros: Truly much cheaper than others at peak travel times.
Cons: Time-consuming: getting a good deal means starting your bid low and increase it gradually.
For a five-week trip to Europe this summer (2001) I was unable to leave before the peak period for air-travel started and unable to book my ticket early enough to get a good discount. By the time I was able to start making my travel plans I was faced...

Pros: cheap price!
Cons: lots of catches...
Priceline can be a good service, however the discerning traveller needs to be aware of the following 'catches'.
1) Tickets are non-refundable, non changeable.
This means that if you have a flat on the way to the airport and miss your...

Pros: Deep discount rate for high quality rooms
Cons: You never know where you'll be
I've used Priceline three times so far, and I'm telling everyone I know about its usefulness in finding cheap hotel rooms. For air tickets, Priceline is not a full-service ticket agent but rather more like an auto auction where you don't get to test the...

Pros: CHEAP, fast, great service
Cons: have to be flexible with times and flights
priceline.com is relatively simple to use: you enter a price that you are willing to pay for a hotel room, airplane flight, etc, and they let you know in an hour if there is a company willing to accept your offer. i have tried their service for an...

Pros: quick service
Cons: no refund policy
Priceline is a good service if you need last mintue tickets. I searched the web for tickets and I couldn't find any I really wanted to pay for when I decided to use priceline. I sent in a request and got the tickets but I am flying all over. To make...

Pros: Fast, Easy, Cheap
Cons: Don't get choose flight times
I went on a trip over the Christmas vacation to Dallas. I was planning on driving but decided to fly instead so I wouldn't have to fight the holiday traffic. I decided to try Priceline.com after I found out that a round-trip ticket from Southwest would...

Pros: Great for leisure travel.
Cons: Not recommended for business trips, non-refundable, makes connection stops.
My friends and I had decided to take a short inexpensive trip in January. We had recently drove to San Antonio and decided this time we wanted to fly to Dallas. After all how expensive could a one hour flight from El Paso to Dallas, Texas be? Well, we...

Pros: Getting a Hotel Room at a Great Price
Cons: Inflexibility with Flight Times
I host a Yahoo! Club to discuss bidding on Priceline and Expedia for airfares and hotel rooms. I've just read quite a few posts here and in my opinion, many of the complaints are unfounded. Priceline's website gives extensive guidelines as to how they...

Pros: You might get something cheaper
Cons: You dont have controll over the brand you really want
I was at the grocery store the other day and noticed that they now accept Priceline.com. I thought OK I will go online and check it out.
I was not impressed. It lets you MAYBE name your own price on grocerys. You could possibly get them nice and...
