Kurzantwort
This charge occurs when you use Priceline to book a hotel room, especially through their opaque 'Name Your Own Price' or 'Express Deals' systems where you prepay the platform directly.
Understanding Priceline Merchant Charges
Priceline offers deep discounts through 'Express Deals' by hiding the exact hotel name until after you pay. Because you are buying the reservation from Priceline's inventory rather than directly from the hotel, Priceline processes the transaction.
Your statement will display PRICELINE *HOTEL. Upon arriving at the property, the hotel front desk will see that your room is fully prepaid by a virtual card from Priceline. Note that they may still require a physical card for a separate incidental hold.
- Verify your Priceline itinerary via email or the mobile app.
- Check that you did not accidentally book a non-refundable rate if you need to cancel.
- Ensure the hotel does not double-charge you for the room rate at checkout.
