Has anyone ever used PRICELINE "name your own price" on hotel deals?

Question

Trying to get a a good deal for less, you all know what I mean. Good or bad experiences let me know please, thanks

Answer 1

I know a few people who have used it and have been satisfied. I'm not willing to use it because I don't like the idea of no knowing where I'm going to stay until after I've agreed to their choices for me.

Answer 2

I use them all the time just beware, when purchasing airline tickets we bought two tickets to Vegas and on the way home we took back the rental car first my husband went to the gate UNITED Air lines with our luggage and I was 3 minutes late for there 45 minute pre board check-in my flight was not for another hour and 10 minutes they would not let us board had no other flights and because we bought tickets threw price line we got NOTHING... I went one counter over to Southwest spent $600. for 2 tickets and that flight left while my United flight was still boarding they could have let us on but instead did nothing for us when i spoke to price line they also did nothing. Now you know why United is in bankruptcy...that is the only bad experience I have had with them by the way our tickets round trip from Chicago if all went well was $163.

Answer 3

I use it every time I stay near the Mpls/St Paul airport. I always get a 3 or 4 star hotel for 40 bucks. Last month I stayed at Hampton Inn in Bloomington and it had the most comfy beds. $40. Need I say more?

Answer 4

I have never used Priceline personally. I know a couple of people who have, and they say, they have actually got an excellent deal, using Priceline.

Answer 5

We got a 4star hotel in a great location in Chicago. I've only used it that one time, but I'd use it again definitely for hotels. Flights are a little more sketchy 'cause you don't know when you're flight departs or arrives until after you book it.
