Help..1st time using Priceline

[jiggliefair]

I have stuck my toe in the "water"..but when they ask for my CC info I chicken out. I am neither computer OR travel savvy. Is there someplace that actually explains the whole process? I'd would appreciate any help . I have booked a cruise out of Miami for Jan . Thanks...panickiejiggliefair

Welcome to BetterBidding!

This is a good place to start: I'VE NEVER USED PRICELINE OR HOTWIRE.

If you decide you want to try it and have either AOL or Yahoo Instant Messenger i can walk you thru each step as you place actual bids. I've done this in the past with others and i go thru the same screens on my computer that they do on theirs... makes it easy to ask questions along the way since IM's allow users to talk in 'real time'.

Start by reading the above thread and we'll take it from there. Any questions continue to feel free to ask.

Hi

Great site you have here. This will be my first time using PL too and was wondering if you could assist. I have sent you a few messages via Yahoo IM.

I hope to be successful with my low bid via PL & will post my experiences here thereafter.

thereuare is on vacation so it might take a bit for him to respond. Did you post your query on another thread? Maybe someone else can provide advice too.

Dave,

I'll be happy to help.

As WT pointed out i'm on vacation until the end of the week so hopefully your dates are far enuff out that it can wait until then.

For anyone else following along, best way to reach me is via email or a post on this board as the messenger ID's i use for the board aren't my main ones.. i only log into them for board purposes.

Thanks for the prompt reply even though you are on vacation. Have sent you an e-mail.

I would want to commence bidding within these few days as I arrive in LAX on first week of September.

Awaiting your reply. Thanks in advance! :)
