athtrasna Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 An update on this...We were really happy with the win until it turns out that Priceline reconsidered a bid my husband made on his account two days earlier (and hadn't told me about). He submitted a bid, it was rejected, then somehow they submitted it again (he said the screen froze when he first bid) and accepted it. He never got an acceptance/itinerary email though he did get a "check the status of your bid" email (which he didn't check).To cut a long story short, we now have two rooms in the same hotel..his bid was accepted at $147. Priceline won'd do anything despite the message on his account that his failed bid was resubmitted.Kinda takes the shine off this win. Link to comment

athtrasna Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 To post an update, while Priceline customer service on the phone were unhelpful I used their Twitter service to contact them and...RESULT :) The second reservation has been cancelled and a refund processed. Am very impressed! Link to comment
