Priceline.com Review

Popularity
Priceline.com has a Google PageRank of 9 and 5,690 links coming to their front page alone. It is the 1,404th most visited website on the internet according to Alexa. What all of this means is that Priceline.com is probably one of the top 5 travel booking sites on the net in relation to its popularity.

Features
Priceline.com has all of the standard features found on most travel booking sites including flight scheduling, hotel reservations, car rentals, vacation packages, cruises and a tours (activities) section. They also have a special PriceBreakers feature that allows visitors to look at their latest hand-picked deals and offers. You can even sign up to have these offers mailed to you regularly. However, the most popular and original feature that Priceline.com has in its arsenal is the Name Your Own Price booking option.

Prices
They give you the choice of naming your own price and then waiting to see if your offer was accepted. The trick to saving money with this option is to first find the lowest deal on the internet that you can find for your flight and then trying priceline.com to name a price slightly lower. I suggest no more than a hundred dollars or else you probably won't get your offer accepted.

Overall Rating
Priceline.com receives an overall rating of 8.0 for its PriceBreaker and Name Your Own Price features. The latter is highly original and unique to this particular website, which sets Priceline.com apart from the others. Its layout is simple and straight forward, which makes it easy to work with but there is a tendency to force you into booking flights with their Name Your Own Price feature. It can be slightly confusing as to how one books flights using the normal method on Priceline.com. I suggest you only use Priceline.com for their Name Your Own Price option using the strategy given above and not for the standard method of booking as there are many sites that do this better.
