Pros: Site makes it really easy to pay more for just about everything.
Cons: You could do better on your own.
Back when I used to travel a lot for work I used to play this game once I was buckled in my seat on the airplane. I would survey the people around me to see how much they paid for basically the same seat and tally up the results. The winner was the one...

Pros: You pick your price
Cons: Lousy customer service, Absolutely no changes regardless of circumstances
Recently, I was supposed to go on a road trip to Colorado to visit with my best friend and her family. There was no way my car would make the trip so I knew I had to rent a car.
I originally made a reservation with Enterprise Car Rental...

Pros: Convenience, competitive prices, newer offerings for hotels and car rentals
Cons: Sometimes unable to find inexpensive, direct flights to popular destinations
I started to use the Priceline service back in 1998, and continue to use it whenever I want to purchase airline tickets. Last month, my fiance, her family and I went on a trip to the Gulf Coast and New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We thought that finding a...

Pros: The novelty wears off quick
Cons: There are better deals to be found
What a concept! Buyers name their own price for one of the 500,000 airline seats (according to Fortune Magazine) that go unsold daily. Not only does it provide a substantial bargain for the consumer, assists the airlines in moving unsold inventory, but...

Pros: get a really good deal
Cons: waiting can be nervewracking, some may not like booking their own travel
I have to say I was a bit surprised at how much I saved the first time I used Priceline.
Some history: I had bought a nice coin at an auction for $12. I couldn't find it in my coin price guide, so I took it to a coin dealer friend. To make...

Pros: best emergency prices available
Cons: can't specify a time of day
My children lost three of their four grandparents within a four month period, two very suddenly, one after a yearlong terminal illness. Priceline.com was a lifesaver for our family of five. Bereavement fares are often $600 per person, less than full...

Pros: cheap, website easy to use
Cons: can't change the tickets, may have to fly out of another airport
I have used priceline.com twice, once flying to Omaha, Nebraska from Louisville, KY, and once flying to St. Louis, MO from Louisville. The first time I flew for $100, and the second my husband and I flew for $75 each. I have a really mixed bag to say...

Pros: Discounted Airfare! Reasonable customer service!
Cons: You must be flexible!
Due to the current high cost of airline tickets, I spent some time looking into options for purchasing discounted airfare. I was looking to purchase a ticket from Los Angeles to Cleveland, and the cheapest ticket I could get by either a travel agent or...

Pros: Saves you a lot of money, easy to use
Cons: Little flexibility
I love this service! I was honestly surprised when it worked and I saved $100 on a plane ticket the first time I used it. After that, I was hooked and have used it several times!! My friends have all used it and have saved $100s of dollars! It's a...

Pros: Affordable pricing!!!
Cons: No Communication with a "human being" till it's all over and too late!
Here is my horrifying story of Priceline! "Beware".
I am a military wife and my husband is currently serving over in Kosovo. I have two children, which the three of us have never flown before. I received a call from my home state...

Pros: reliable, price
Cons: features could be more precise
I have heard a lot of controversy on Priceline and was leary to try it myself, but I must say it paid off nicely. We planned a vacation in Florida, and I put in my criteria at Priceline.com and named my price and they got me a hotel in the immediate...

Pros: Great prices if you're flexible!
Cons: They are not flexible--don't expect them to make an exception for you.
I've read many reviews on Priceline, both here on Epinions and in magazines, and, while there are some very valid complaints (rude customer service, tickets issued outside requested travel dates, etc.), I find the majority of them to be--frankly--whining...

Pros: more than half price groceries
Cons: time consuming, have to buy certain brands
I used Priceline.com to purchase groceries for the first time this week. I saved lots of money!!
I won't say that it was easy but it wasn't difficult either. First you go to Priceline.com and click on "groceries". If you...

Pros: convenient, can get great deals
Cons: no one has to accept your bids.
My first experience with Priceline was in April of 99, when I had to go to Atlanta, GA for a convention. The hotel that was chosen as the site of the convention was in a pretty crummy area, and despite the "generous room discount" promised, the...
