Travelsites.com -- special report--How To Use Priceline.com!
Shop around for the lowest available advance purchase fares for trips to your destinations on a major airline
or hotel. As the new priceline ads mention, shop, compare and save. The
order isn't accidental! To get your best deal, check other online reservation sites
like Orbitz, Expedia or
Hotwire, hotel or airline sites or call your travel agent.
Write this information down. If you're able, use a metasearch
engine to check it against. Some of the best engines out there are kayak
or tripadvisor. Pay attention to
the user comments and ratings at each.
The pricing information you've now gathered is a good guide to using priceline.com. Look at the prices that you've written down, come to priceline and make a reasonable offer based on this information.
The team at Travelsites has found that offers of 20-30% below the best available
airfare have a good chance of being accepted, while you should use the hotel
prices at Expedia and knock off at least 40% on the priceline name your own
price hotel site.
If you're not able to be flexible, you should consider using
priceline.com's new retail service -- you can either name your own price or
choose your flight, hotel, rental car and now even vacation package to get your best savings.
So as William Shatner continues to say, SHOP, COMPARE, SAVE... GENIUS!
