Paying for 2 rooms through Priceline

[CAnn]

 

If you book 2 rooms  through Priceline, do you have to pay up front? We are travelling with another family and want 2 rooms, but for each to pay for their own room. Not sure how this works. Any help or information would be appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

 

When using PRICELINE's 'Name Your Own Price' (bidding) or their PRICELINE EXPRESS service you are charged at the time of booking.  There is no way to split the charge between two different people.  Each person could make the purchase on their own, but then there is always the chance that you each receive different hotels, so we recommend having one person complete the purchase and then have the other person reimburse the purchaser by cash, check, PayPal (if trying to use a credit card), or simply 'even up' while on vacation with the non-paying family buying dinner/meals until the amounts are equal.

 

Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

If you'd like to move forward let us know the details of your trip and we will try to be of further help.

Yes, that is the recommended method, and as you point out, both can give their own credit card for incidentals at the hotel.

 

When traveling with another family there are also plenty of opportunities to get 'even'... one family continues to pay for meals, entertainment, activities, etc. until the amount owed is accounted for.
