account in priceline

[stickman]

I'm from Spain and trying to setup my July travel to the USA.

I'd like to use priceline to get my hotel rooms, but I'm not sure if I can register in the website and use their services even though I'm not american.

Anyone have any info about it?

Thx.

These tips work for Europeans also:

I'm from Finland and didn't have any difficulties in using Priceline. You just have to fix your address to make it look like an American one. I used a Finnish Mastercard to pay for the hotel nights, and it was accepted without any trouble.

Ok, I'll try then...

@Sharion: What telephone number did you use?

Has anyone succeeded using an European Visa card?

[WillTravel]

I have never heard of success with a non-US Visa on the US site, but you can use it without problem on the Priceline UK site.

Just terminate your phone number after 10 digits. That'll work.

Stickman: I just put in my mobile phone number and didn't have any problems. It had 12 digits including both the country code and area code.

FWIW, I am using a mix of Visa-, Master- and Amex-cards for Priceline both in the US and the UK, and they all work very well. As I am based in Germany, my credit cards are all issued there.

In fact Priceline.co.uk is a little more picky in terms of how to set up a Visa-card to work than the US-site is...you need to put more effort into making the ZIP look like a UK one. No problems with MC and AX in this regard, however.
