When I first saw your post I thought "another website helping people bid on priceline" but I was intrigued. I read the blog on their strategy and I must say this stuff is freakishly amazingly genius.

Thanks!

looks pretty good

I'm no expert here at all. Can you explain to me the difference between this and priceline themselves. Thanks

I am in touch with the developer of the biddingtraveler site. He fixed a major bug which basically wouldn't have allowed you to use your own PL account. If anyone has any comments you can post them here and I'll forward them to him. He is very responsive.

Works great. Just booked 4 nights for half price. Be ready to get an email for each unsuccessful bid which in my case was 11.

I'll tell the developer about this annoying thing and see what he can do.

If the email is from priceline, I doubt there is anything he can do.

The reason why he can do something, is because PL only sends you an email when they see that your browser never made it to that page. I can have him put in the script to allow the page to load, and then re-do the bid. Maybe a check-box asking the user in advance if he'd rather it that way.

That is incorrect. I have booked over 100 priceline hotel rooms in the last few months. I know a thing or two about how this works.
