I prefer the tutorials at http://www.discountbidding.com but Bidding for Travel is a good site too. Priceline is a great way to save lots of money.

Some of the hotels haven't lived up to their star rating and once we ended up paying for one night in a hotel room we didn't use (because the hotel didn't allow dogs). On the other hand, I've had dozens of good to excellent Priceline experiences at prices that I couldn't beat anywhere. It's certainly not for everyone though and to make the most of it requires some research, the more the better.

I tried booking a hotel in Seattle,WA (4star) for $145. Well they didn't accept my offer and so I switched it to a 3 star which would have been fine. My husband and I have stayed in a 3 star before in Seattle,WA with no problems. $145 was a little high but I figured they would get you a nicer hotel if you offered a little more. Boy was I wrong. They gave me a piece of crap little hotel that is on the scary outskirts of downtown Seattle, if it can even be considered downtown. And to top it off this hotel offers cheaper prices from their website than priceline does. So I emailed them with my concern and they of course are not going to help me in the least bit. They said their site clearly states that they do not give refunds or change any part of your reservation, but how can they get away with this. Isn't that kind of LYING to say it is a 3 star hotel when it clearly isn't or to say you are booking in a downtown hotel and you are on the very edge or not even downtown. It seems fraudulent. Does anyone have any advice for me? I don't want to pay for this room when it is not what I was promised!!! Any advice would help!!! yearsleya83@yahoo.com I HATE HATE HATE Priceline.
