Pcln to me is a pain in the ass if you want to use their service. I can get cheap tickets, hotel
rooms, groceries, and all the other stuff without hassle.


James,

No kidding. I told you about my experience obtaining tickets to New York. I was going to try PCLN but found I would be stuck buying them even if they departed at 5 AM.

Going to Belgium next week. That would be really scary ticketing through PCLN. No thank you.

Glenn

i can't even buy a gallon of milk anymore without having to wait behind annoying priceline shoppers who have to separate their groceries into priceline and non-priceline piles and then check out twice all to save a couple bucks.

HJ,

PCLN's grocery program can be a pain for non-users as well. Waiting to checkout behind a PCLN user can be a lot longer because it's often two transactions: one for PCLN stuff and one for non-PCLN stuff. Also, the popular stuff tends to be out of stock more often.
