Is using Pricelines for Hotels 100% electronic?

[CrankyOldGuy]

It's important to me to not get any physical mail about hotel usage (e.g. confirmations, itineraries, receipts, usage summaries). Will Priceline meet my needs?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I can't say for certain what their policies will be in the future, but i have never received any physical mail from them (except seeing the charge on my credit card statement).

Thank you.

I've never gotten anything myself in the mail, either from Priceline or the hotels I stayed at.

However, hotels do ask for your address on checking in, I believe, so conceivably they could send you something by mail to whatever address you provide. That would be the case with any hotel check-in.

It's actually amazing to me that Priceline DOESN'T do more direct marketing.

Sure they send emails, which makes sense as they're an internet property, but even those aren't really personalized.

And I've never seen much targeted marketing from Priceline to get folks to use the service (as opposed to sending email to current registered customers). I'd think they might market to small business owners, for instance, maybe direct mail to holders of business credit cards.

And I've always wanted them to institute some sort of loyalty marketing to frequent repeat users! :) (Priceline doesn't seem to show my 2002 bids anymore when I go to my bidding history, but I had ~ 50 successful bids in 2003.)

years ago I received itinerary changes for flights via snail mail from priceline. but nothing since probably 2000 or even 1999.

After a failed bid on Priceline, I got an e-mail 72 hours later citing since my bid had failed and the 72 hours had passed -- I could rebid. I've never gotten any physical mail. Hope this info helps.
