djohannw Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Hello,I do not know if there are many UK residents around here (other than me) using the UK-site of Priceline and their current bonus-money for hotels (officially only available to UK-residents). If you are, you may want to know that there are indications that the bonus-money is going to be history after 6/6.See this link here for more details.Greetings - Dirk P.S.: thereuare, if you think this is an inappopiate post or at the wrong location, feel free to delete, modify or move it...

djohannw Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Well, it finally happened. The bonus money in the UK is gone, even two days early...Hope you all had the chance to use it while it was hot...Greetings - Dirk Link to comment
LouiseB Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 As of today 5th June, I can still get the Link to comment
djohannw Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 You are right; there is a new link on Cleverbidding.co.uk on the top. However I also expect these to go within the next days as it seems that Priceline does some "housecleaning" currently...Greetings - Dirk Link to comment
Jacqui Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 When using both the "sherlock holmes" link from cleverbidding.co.uk or the link from ukfrenzy.co.uk, there is no longer any mention of Link to comment
bturner13 Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 You are good! Congrats! Can you take a moment and tell us about the bidding history for your gets? Any rejections and counter-offers and what were the tax/fees? :) Link to comment
Jacqui Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Both wins were single zone, first bids.I've posted the taxes & fees in the priceline Florida section. Link to comment
djohannw Posted July 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I am not sure what is going on at the moment; it seems that Priceline is working on the links and in the moment pulling all bonus-money. The new link I put up also does not say anything about bonus-money but SEEMS to apply it...Greetings - Dirk Link to comment
bturner13 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Dirk,Are you still finding that the PL/UK bonus money is working towards 4 days and longer bids?Tks!Bill :) Link to comment
Jacqui Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Yesterday, I ended up resurrecting a bid I had originally started on Friday for my 5 night New Orleans stay (bidding screen indicated that Link to comment
djohannw Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Dirk,Are you still finding that the PL/UK bonus money is working towards 4 days and longer bids?Tks!Bill :) My experience with more than three nights is a bit dated...but then I was able to get four nights accepted at a price that I would expect the bonus money being applied to all nights in full...My test-bid, however, was just for one night, and that was accepted at the usual rate.Greetings - Dirk Link to comment
bturner13 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Tried to place a bid today (2 July 03) using the PL/UK bonus money link on both Cleverbidding & Ukfrenzy and did not get the bonus money will be applied screen. So... I think the goodtimes are over for now, right? Hope it returns soon.Tks!Bill Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Yeah Baby .... it works, it works still!!!Got something that no doubt used the full bonus!!! Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I had little success with bidding for three nights and when I did, I had bid on average 2-4 pounds higher per night. In fact, I made five 5-night bookings before figuring it out. On 3 night bookings, the price converted perfectly to the US amounts and everything I bid went through. Link to comment

I had little success bidding for more than three nights.Also, it has been impossible to get lets say 2 rooms for 2 nights ... the bonus has only worked for up to 3 rooms for one night, or 3 nights one room!!!

bturner13 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Still works and saves gobs of $$$ :) Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Nothing doing today!!!I read that the bonus was working as of this morning on cleverbidding BUT now, it rejects low bids within 6 seconds which is their signal of a useless bid. Link to comment
bturner13 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 OH NO!!! I think you are correct my good man! Damn the bad luck!Me! :) Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 It was amazing while it lasted. I just checked on cleverbidding and the most recent posts confirm that the links are finito. That was without a doubt, the best deal ever and I will have to get used to 'normal' PL prices which are still pretty amazing!!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 I'm sorry to see the UK bonus money gone for those that were able to use it. While there is no bonus money available, please consider using SavingsBarn.com for your future Priceline (and Hotwire) purchases.Of course, if there becomes bonus money available for Priceline US, it too will be made available thru a link at SavingsBarn.com Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
