Priceline help

Hi everyone

I%26#39;m from Australia and trying to book a room using priceline.com.... when I enter my address, the site only gives me the option of USA or Canada (in the country field).

Has anyone outside these places used pricline?

Cheers, Jason.

You can. The instructions are somewhere on www.biddingfortravel.com and/or www.betterbidding.com (which includes info on Hotwire as well), or you can try the Priceline UK site.

It is highly recommend that you study those websites (FAQ%26#39;s, pinned hotels, recent bookings, especially for your approximate dates) before bidding on Priceline. Hotwire is another good resource. Rates tend to be a bit higher, but it%26#39;s easier to identify specific properties, and also avoid others, such as TRUMP.

Recommend reviewing the pinned hotel lists and checking reviews on Trip Advisor.

Also, post for assistance. The administrators of both those boards are expert at what they do!

Hi

There is a way to bid on the US site using the tips on biddingfortravel but from here in the UK we can use a uk.co site, have you tried finding an Australian site?

Have you considered that LV is one place it usually pays to book directly through the hotel - rates fluctuate greatly, with priceline and the ilk you are locked in to a non-refundable price - and are charged as such - and have no guarantee of the property when you bid.

I urge you to book with thew hotel, watch rates, book one that can be rended/changed and get the websites for listings of prmos - such as www.fatwallet.com.

In many cities priceline is a good option, not so much in LV.

What are the exact dates of your visit? Your total room budget (rates may differ from day-to-day so don;t give us per night, give us for the entire trip)

There%26#39;s no one best way to book for Veges. While going through the hotel does have it%26#39;s advantages, I%26#39;ve gotten bargains through Priceline that are significantly cheaper than what%26#39;s available through the hotel.

Unfortunately, Priceline is now near useless for me for Vegas do the mincategorization of the Westin and Trump. But Hotwire is still a great option for those seeking rooms for less than you can get directly.

Alas, I can%26#39;t help the OP, other than to second the recommendation of better bidding and bidding for travel. But do also consider Hotwire.
