Pros: Answer in 1 hour Cons: Non-refundable
I have used Priceline.com several times with very different results:
The first time I used it, was to book a hotel. I was going to do some consulting work up in Boston and thought it might be nice to have the family up on the weekend. This...

I reserved my tickets about a month ago on Priceline and was very happy with the price that I paid. One week before my trip, my supervisor told me that because of a scheduling error on his part, my vacation dates had been cancelled. I managed to ...

Here is the text of my complaint email to Priceline.com. I would like to express my disdain with Priceline. Concerning my recent transactions, I feel that I was taken advantage of and was forced to deal with unhappy and unhelpful customer service. I ...

Priceline Flight Reservations - It's like a crap shoot. But, when I'm in a tight situation, I use Priceline. Here's why: I usually end up with what I want or something close to it. But I don't have a clue what I have purchase until it's all ...

Pros: Good service for flexible people. Cons: No refunds. Departure and arrival times are very early or very late.
My husband and I had saved our money up to take our first vacation. I had never been on an airplane before, and my husband had only taken trips paid for by his company. Therefore, we were both shocked to find out how much airline tickets cost. We heard...

Pros: You can name your own price Cons: No itinerary approval prior to purchase; no refunds
I used Priceline.com this past July to make reservations to fly to Las Vegas. I tried in vain to find my own reservations with almost every commercial airline and I couldn't find a flight for less than $400 round trip. For the past few years my husband...

RE: Priceline
I once, and only once, tried to book airline tickets and a hotel through Priceline.
Traveling from San Francisco to Chattanooga, I bid on a flight. Priceline asked if I wanted to bid on a hotel as well. They were not...

Pros: Pampers Premium for $6.99 Cons: Not a wide variety of items
Priceline is a wonderful concept so I decided to give it a try. You can name your price for groceries up to 50% off. They give you a price range for certain products and you can name your price, but you must prepay online. In addition, they give you...

Pros: none Cons: sloooow site
Let's face it- grocery shopping is a mundane and boring task. So why add more wasted time to it? I spent more than an hour picking out 6 items. Store brands (the best bargains) are not an option. Neither is most of the produce section (read healthful...

Pros: Cheap ticket Cons: Possible inconvenient flight times, connections, seating, etc.
I have used priceline twice to get tickets. One roundtrip to San Francisco, and one roundtrip to New York. Here are my impressions:
Upon entering Priceline's site, you are given several options as to your flight preferences. These options...

I experienced this lack of customer service and the defects in Priceline.com's system last month as I was trying to purchase a ticket home to see my family for Christmas. Priceline put me through to Atlanta, seven hours from my home even though I was ...

Pros: Cheap Cons: Terrible System, Awful Customer Service
To make a long story short I placed a bid on a hotel in Boston. When I went to check on the status of my bid it told me that my offer had not been accepted. Ok, fine. However, on my next credit card statement I was charged $100.43. Sooo... I called...

Pros: Great for last minute Cons: FEES, FEES, AND MORE FEES
$1000 RT from New York City to Boston at the last minute seem a bit steep? Well maybe Priceline.com is you answer, but if you like to plan ahead, you'll do better calling the airlines.
I thought I was getting a deal when I bid on a flight...

When I went through all the steps of booking on-line, I wrote down all my flight info and other details before clicking the purchase button, but my e-mailed itinerary sent by Priceline had the wrong flight. I contacted them immediately, but they would ...

Pros: Seems like a good idea Cons: They don't have the system to pull it off
I just had the worst experience with priceline.com trying to book a flight from Chicago to Montreal. I submitted my request and waited my hour and found out that my price had been accepted - cool. Then I get billed for not one, but TWO flights for the...
