Im not sure if everybody already know this, but I will post it anyway.
Having 'played' on priceline a few times now, Ive found that if you put in a silly bid and then increase it continually 3 - 4 times by just £1, eventually they will offer you a guaranteed ticket price if you fill in a simple questionnaire. The questions are just how often you use the net etc, takes about 30 seconds to do.
So if you need to use them, try it. however every time you place a new bid you do have to change one of your details.
We are trying to go to Vegas for our first wedding anniversary, which is the 17th September, we know that only Virgin fly direct and then the most common airline used is US Airways which fly daily from Manchester to Vegas via Philadelphia. Virgin cost £634.60, US Airways £447.80. We have shopped around and this was the best deal we could get.
So this is what I did.
1st bid - £100, flying Friday 13th September (for 7 nights) not accepted.
2nd bid - £101, flying Sunday 15th September again not accepted.
3rd bid - £102, flying Monday 16th September again not accepted.
4th bid - £103, flying Saturday 14th September not accepted BUT we were offered flights at £231 plus airport taxes. Total approx £300!! & Saturday was the day we actually wanted to travel!!!
If you dont want them you just cancel, as its an offer.
Have fun trying for great deals
