for a commision This is correct for its car/mortgage services. I believe it is incorrect for the airline tickets and hotel reservation services. This is how it works - Airline XYZ gives 100 tickets from A to B priced at $200/ticket. PCLN accepts offers made by people which are above 200/ticket. For some offers which are below $200/ticket, it still accepts the offer - in some cases the subsidies are compensated by its adaptive marketing strategies (you have to open an Etrade account, apply for a credit card, etc.) In some cases, PCLN may decide to sell at a loss to gain market share. As I mentioned in a previous post, PCLN is filling a higher % of offers it receives - this means offers which PCLN previously though unwise to fill are being filled using the current policies.
