Priceline wins Forbes accolade

Priceline.com and its wholly owned subsidiary BreezeNet.com have been
named to Forbes.com’s latest list of Best Travel Sites.

  Priceline.com was selected by Forbes.com reviewers because, “it’s
the best site we know of for booking luxury hotels cheaply.”
Forbes.com also wrote, “Try bidding $99 for a four-star hotel in
pretty much any American city, and users say you’ll often end up
staying in one of the city’s very nicest hotels.”

  BreezeNet.com was selected for its rental car deals. “Some of the
best domestic car-rental discounts on the Internet are available
here,” wrote the Forbes.com reviewers. “The site compiles pricing info
from car-rental companies at major U.S. airports and links to special
rates on other sites (like a recent priceline.com sale for a
$12-per-day rental car).”

  “We’re pleased that Forbes.com recognized the deals and the
product quality that priceline.com is making available to consumers,”
said priceline.com’s Chief Marketing Officer, Brett Keller.

  In a February survey, priceline.com randomly took prices paid by
its Name Your Own Price(R) hotel service customers and compared them
to the published prices available on Expedia.com and Hotels.com for
the same hotels and dates. For upscale 4-star properties,
priceline.com’s comparative savings were up to 50% over competitors’
prices.
