Priceline - trying to bid

[sandancer]

Priceline.co.UK - where is it??? I am trying to bid for a hotel in Fort Lauderdale and every time I go to Priceline.co.uk, it re-directs me to Booking.com!!! I can't bid on the US site as it only accepts credit card details from addresses in the US or Canada. Anyone from the UK able to help with this. Thanks

Oh that is weird isnt it. I just got the same thing and I have used the UK Priceline site in the past...mmm...strange.:confused:

Liz. I called booking.com to see if they could throw any light on this. They also tried and got the same treatment. It would not be so bad if it was possible to use the US site but doesn't work. Thanks for trying. Cheers, Elaine

Hi Elaine

 

There is a UK phone number for Priceline - 020 7136 8462

Maybe they can shed some light on this.:confused:

This explains that you need to enter a US address...even a fake one, to get to the site.

There is a UK version of Priceline. I have used it many times recently.

But for some reason tonight it is not working and taking people here in UK to a different website.

Thanks Liz. Unfortunately you don't get to speak to a real live person, just a computer. Nice try though. Regards, Elaine

I made a successful bid fo a hotel April 2011, printed off my reservation?, since reading these blogs, logged in to my account then was transferred to Booking .com without success

 

weird or what?

Did as as eandj suggested but I'm afraid it does not work for Europe. Something to do with the EU. Now theres a surprise. Missus Makkem, if you try the phone number Liz gave you can check your reservation. Have your booking number and the phone number you used for the reservation handy and you can check all is in order. I just did that for a booking for Feb 12. I still need to book another hotel though and Hotwire don't have what I am looking for. Will try again tomorrow. In the meantime I have emailed Priceline Customer Services for an answer.

Had a reply from Priceline this morning suggesting that it is a glitch in MY web browser. Strange that everyone else's web browsers don't work either. Watch this space. Elaine

[Elizanessie]

Geez Elaine I didnt know we all used the same browser:eek::D....silly reply they gave you.

Ok, after a few stern emails I finally got the answer I was looking for. Go to Priceline.co.uk and it directs you to Booking.com, they now have a section "name your own price". When you click on that it re-directs you to Priceline.co.uk. Why??? No idea, but I just tried it and it works. Elaine
