Priceline Launches Hotel Big Deal Days With Hotel Bid Alerts Feature
NORWALK, Conn., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer's here and priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) is pulling out all the stops to get you a BIG deal on a top-quality hotel room with its Hotel Big Deal Days for Name Your Own Price® hotel rooms. To make it even easier for Name Your Own Price® hotel customers to get their rooms at up to 60% savings over published rates, priceline.com is adding a new Hotel Bid Alerts feature to its Winning Bids service.
Winning Bids on priceline.com shows actual successful Name Your Own Price® hotel bids made in the past by other priceline.com customers. Winning Bids show the city, neighborhood, bid amount, estimated percentage savings, and how long ago the bid was made. Now, if you don't see a winning bid that works for you, you can create a personalized Hotel Bid Alert by entering your desired city, neighborhood, hotel star level (or levels) and bid amount. When someone does get that deal, priceline.com will send you an e-mail alert, so you can try yourself.
