Hi, First off, let me say that I love Priceline and I love betterbidding.com. They have saved me lots of money. I do have a couple of comments/questions regarding hotel reward programs such as starwood, hilton, hyatt. Most hotels do not seem to honor priceline stays for points and other benefits. Some hotel reward programs will routinely give significant free upgrades to their rooms if you participate in their program. Sometimes the hotel room will be upgraded to a much larger suite. This is not the case for priceline stays, and often you are stuck with the less desired rooms in the hotel. For those of you that have experience participating in hotel reward programs, do you find that using priceline hurts the value of your stay? I assume that given the value and low cost of the priceline stay, that it still makes sense to priceline even if you lose the benefits of the rewards program, right? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
