Anyone Have Experience With Priceline.com

What do you guys think of their service? I just entered some dates and made the mistake of assuming the dates they offered me were the dates I wanted. Now I'm stuck with a ticket that cost me $233.45. Oh well...

are they airline tickets ?
if you are it's gonna cost you to change the dates.

Yeah, airline tickets. They won't even let me change the dates. Warning to all. Double check the dates that they offer you because chances are it's not the dates you wanted...

Wduaqnug and spunky are boycotting priceline.com, so I am too!

Use it all the time for hotel rooms. Works great for what they advertise.

DO NOT USE Priceline.com for airline tickets, I'm STILL disputing a purchase from 9/02, argh!

I would only use them for hotel/car rental.

I don't fly often, but I check every available discount tickets site, except priceline. I hate how you bid and don't know what days or times you're flying. It's kinda important to me to know, becuase you know you'll be getting crappy dates and times for the highest price possible (whatever your bid was)

i'm a big fan of orbitz, i really like thier fare grid. it shows you in each cell what the cost is to fly one day and return the next. it's quite amazing actually

Priceline sucks. I have used it a few times for hotels and even though i specify 4 star i get stuck in a POS radison in Amarillo everytime. I also hate how you can not choose what hotel they pick for you. I wouldnt even imagine using them for airline tickets.

Orbits is the best in my opinion.

I've used them for Hotels. The website BiddingforTravel.com is really good if you are going to use priceline. It tells you what hotels have come up in each town for each star level so you have a good idea ahead of time what hotel you will get. People also post what price they get so you can get a good idea what to bid.
