Pros: maybe save a buck or two Cons: No refunds no changes no service
I just think the whole concept stinks. You give them your credit card and if they find your tickets at the price you wanted for those dates you WILL BE BUYING THEM. All sales are final. You have no choice if those times are not good for you or you don't...

Pros: The publicity of having William Shatner sing on the comercials made my original Shatner records go up in value. Cons: Wasted a lot of time and energy, technical frustration, etc.
I wanted to get a hotel room for my husband and myself for our second aniversary. We planned to eat downtown, and I thought it would be fun to stay the night in a nice hotel. We are getting our credit cards paid off, so I figured I would try to get a...

Pros: kept me updated on schedule changes, price, direct flight Cons: flying in the middle of the night
My husband started getting jazzed about attending his 20 year high school reunion, but the problem was affording it. We live in mid-Missouri and the reunion was taking place in Phoenix, AZ. No problems with accomodations since his sisters would be...

Pros: Easy Way to Save Money Cons: None
Just recently Priceline groceries became available in Georgia. I was quite excited because I have heard many positive stories from friends who save on average 40% on their groceries. I quickly learned how to navigate around the website (it is easy and...

Pros: Excellent way to get cheap tickets! Cons: Sometimes don't know when you'll be traveling.
I recently traveled to Florida on my spring break and decided to go to Priceline.com for my tickets. I found some great prices, but saw that most prices were starting to rise online. I then went to Priceline and stated I would only pay a certain price...

Pros: Cheap fare, but... Cons: You pay for it in errors and nonexistent "customer service.""
I had to fly to the East Coast for a family emergency on fairly short notice last spring, and a friend suggested that I try Priceline.com because I was getting astronomical quotes from the airlines. He said you can bid on your ticket - you tell them how...

Pros: Easy to use, sometimes saves money... Cons: NO customer service, sometimes you get a really bad deal.
I'm actually a fan of the service, and I've used it numerous times without a hitch. One problem I have had, however, is that they offer absolutely no customer service and when I needed a little help from them and got none, it was a real drag. Here's...

Pros: price, easy to use, get for last minute Cons: not flexible, no refunds or cancelations
If you could pick the Airline, departure time or whether you have to take a connecting flight,
it would be better. You can't.
If you could pick the Hotel chain, or narrow in on a city block, it would be better. You can't
If you...

Pros: Cheap tickets Cons: Nonrefundable tickets; poor customer service
Priceline.com is a site where you can submit the price you want for an airline ticket and the company is supposed to reply within an hour to let you know whether or not your offer has been accepted.
My job in the military is First Sergeant--my...

Pros: Great deals, from what I've heard Cons: You give up some control of the process
Disclosure: I haven't yet actually gone all the way through the Priceline process.
The thing that gets me about the Priceline model is the first thing you do is put in your credit card number. To me, this seems very dangerous. I know...

Pros: It can get you cheap tickets ... Cons: ... at inconvenient times - and they may not be that cheap
Here's my Priceline story.
I have a friend who was interested in possibly having me work at his company. His company was willing to "priceline me out" to Melbourne, Florida. After reading some of the reviews here, I doubt that I...

Pros: Cheap, easy to use, saves money, reliable, quick service Cons: Must reerve bid with credit card, if they say yes you are automatically billed for the tickets-no chance to think about it after you enter your bid
Shopping on the internet can be tricky...its important to know the ins and outs of each company. When I bought my first Priceline.com tickets, I was nervous as can be! I thought for sure it was a scam or that I would be stuck on a loser plane in the...

Pros: Helpful for those without ANY restrictions. Cons: Too many to waste your time on this company!
What a nightmare! A trip planned two months in advance from Austin, TX to Seattle, WA.
After days of searching for the lowest price, I found tickets for a trip my wife and I were taking would cost $836. That's $836 total, all charges...

Pros: Nice savings first time Cons: Web site so slow!
OK, so William Shatner virtually gets down on his knees and begs us to use ‘priceline.com’. So being a Star Trek fan, I logged on to Priceline.com, used my special Priceline credit card and began to use the site.
The first thing I noticed was...

Pros: Captain Kirk / TJ hooker is the spokeman Cons: ALOT
Captains log star date some time a few weeks ago.
This internet shopper found tickets for a major concert in a city closer than a few star systems away, yet still requiring air fare to get to. This concert would have made an outstanding present for...
