bigredsfan Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 for the last couple of days I have tried to access Priceline with no luck, some sort of server error. Had the same issues with this website up until now. Anybody else having this issue?
hohogap Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 I was able to access PL through the BB PRICELINE link above. No problems from this end.
bigredsfan Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Posted September 18, 2011 I was able to access PL through the BB link above. No problems from this end.hmmm..tried this one too, no luck. Buddy of mine no luck, no luck from iphone then it came up. Wonder if its an issue on their end
Ketzstar Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 I've been trying to get onto Priceline's website all day today and last night. No luck. Is the server down? Very frustrating. Tried the link also through Better Bidding and same issue.Any help or info... much appreciated.

Romelle Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 kitty28 and others with this problem,Maybe you could post which browsers you used? ISP? And whether you were on Macs or PCs. There are only a few reports of people having problems. Maybe there is a common thread among them. Many years ago there was a PL glitch that kept Mac users (me and others) locked out for quite a while. I'm on a Mac, Comcast ISP, and using Internet Explorer. While Priceline was really slow in the late part of this morning, I was able to get on and eventually got responses to my bids. In the afternoon it was working smoothly.RomelleThose free public library computers might work?

If it is the ISP then..... if anyone finds the answer please let us knowAs for only a few reporting problems not everyone know about this site or FT & may not look for place to report problemUPDATEJust cleared cookies & cache now I got in
janenb9 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Still not working for me on Safari or Firefox.
micheline Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Hasn't worked for me last 3 days. I'm on PC. Thought it was just me. Will have to use Hotwire.

janenb9 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Yes, I'm with Rogers. And also on a Mac.
kitty28 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Well more problemsSeems I have to clear my cookies to get into PL unfortunately it clears all my other sites too :) What a PITAI think Rogers was hacked as all weekend we were getting loads of spam even from ourselves ..all with Rogers.com addresses
Romelle Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Kitty, you probably can get into the cookies and clear just those with the word "Priceline" in them. I'm no pro, but know I have to get into the Help function of my browser to get instructions. Romelle
micheline Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Yes I'm in Canada with Rogers. So frustrating!
kitty28 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks RomelleI forgot about that optionDeleted the cookies that way still no luckI did manage to get 1 bid in before I was knocked out again :) I think the Rogers IP is blocked from PL because of the spam that hppened on the weekendWill try again in a few daysGood luck to all
thereuare Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 PRICELINE is aware of the issue... as this ISP related, there is nothing that can be done from a local computer to bypass the issue.It will require a bit of patience, or if short on time, try to use a computer which uses a different ISP (library, coffee shop, etc)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

kitty28 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Seems to be working OK againgot in twice today YEAH
bigredsfan Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 you guys can thank me for Canada, LOL. I went through 3 days of this with Rogers Tech Support and for whatever reason inadvertently blocked priceline Canada Wide. Yes, Canada. A few tickets were sent down I spent hours with them wireless and wifi, and finally a day ago or so they called us to let us know the situation is solved.All seems pretty right now, but not perfect. Had a few issues today but refreshed and got in. Now, I just need to win my bid for Buffalo!Good luck to you guys in Canada finally!
EDBSO Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 I also had a ticket in with Rogers. They said it was a DSN problem on their end. Claimed it was fixed 2 days ago but on and off yesterday. Today solid connection to PRICELINE BUT NO ROGERS EMAIL!!!!Any recommendations for a good ISP in Ottawa? Rogers sucks big time!!!
