For the three of you out there who don’t know, Priceline.com is a web-based service used for picking up discounts on such things as accommodation, travel and rental cars. Businesses naturally have a fairly clear idea of the relative level of use of their facilities and products at a specific time of year and release a certain amount to be sold on Priceline at a minimum price dictated by the service provider. Better to get something for the stuff than have it unused.

The customer then makes an “offer” on the Priceline website, which is simple in design and easy to navigate. The offer is then either accepted by one of the services that matches your set criteria, or fails to meet any minimum price and is rejected. For this reason it’s sometimes a good idea think about how low you want to bid. You only get one shot at a specific thing and if you bid too low you are out of luck for that day.
