My guess is that the $50 will follow along the same terms as their Bonus Cash does. Something like "$10/night up to $50" and a minimum 2 night stay. Whatever it is, I'm definitely going to take advantage of it ... but I'm not getting my hopes up for an amazing no-rules $50!

when are they going to give out the coupon?

The $50 Hotel Bonus Cash (via DM) is taking a while to send out. I'm seeing if I can increase the speed, but rest assured they will be sent.

What does DM mean?

I've never used Priceline before but I'm wondering how reliable they will be to book a trip for me if they can't even get this right. How hard is it to send a coupon out... geez.I've been using Priceline for 11 years. It's totally reliable.

These are likely one time use per account coded coupons.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

I started following at 7000 plus mark and just got the Coupon for 50.00 Yahoo.

Congratulations, Triple OG. You've earned $50 in hotel Bonus Cash.

Bonus Cash may not be combined with any other offer. Restrictions apply; click the Redeem Bonus Cash Now link above for restriction details. Limit one per customer.

Just got mine too.

Got mine, thanks. A little bit bait and switch that NOW they say 3 night minimum stay.

It says it when you try to book the room. That blows. Gets you excited to go, then you find the restrictions. I'm headed out for a trip. If I can find a room about $50, I'll extend it a night. Just irritating to find that it's not what they appear to promise.

Still, thanks OP!

vapno said:Don't forget the 3-star minimum requirement. That's the real killer. Very misleading promotion.

I have to agree and say it is pretty much BS. Really, when they advertise a $50 "coupon" they can do whatever they want, but to give you a month to use a 3 star minimum, 3 night stay coupon is bs because one night will be more than $50 with taxes and fees.

I for one am not going to use it because I feel a little gypped with this. I won't write an email, or get mad, maybe someone has a trip they were already planning, but for a company to pull this bait-and-switch (referenced from above) type promotion is disrespectful.

Edit: I also added him to my blocked list on twitter just to show my dissatisfaction with the whole thing.
