The link to Priceline was no longer available on the Ebay Anything points portal. Does this mean we can no longer earn points on Priceline bids in the future?
On a related note, typically how long does it take for Anything points to be posted for PL bids for you guys?
Usually pretty quickly, but off and on it seems to have big delays. Since mid-May not much has been posting. See the long running thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=346354)
Everything works fine for me too, although it seemed a bit slower than normal.

Although in my browsers the interface is all wrong when I use it for hotels. It defaults to years 2002 or 2003 and doesn't give a place for the checkout date. Heh. But I can correct it on the next screen and go forward.

Priceline is great when you bid right the first time, but how often does that happen? If you are willing to bid a bit more and you want to avoid the 24hr

Yeah, I've been wondering about that for awhile, it does the same thing for me, with the checkout date not showing. Funny thing, it now seems to have been updated, it now shows a check-out date within Ebay - but only allows years 2002, 2003 and WOW 2004!! Why bother updating? :confused:

No indication of a change there. Still says "Book with Priceline and earn eBay Anything Points!"

It's also still on this page http://anythingpoints.ebay.com/getpoints.html Clicking the logo leads to the travel page above.

I was told that the 2002 or 2003 date has been popping up for much of this year and certainly almost all of last. In other words, that 2002/2003 is not a new issue.

This would be better suited in the SPAM forum.
...The reservation is for my friends, could PL deny me points because the bid wasn't for myself?..
I went through this eBay link, booked for Mrs. USAFAN (her CC) and got the points.
Generally it doesn't take long to get the points.
Some time ago I complaint by e-mail, never got a proper answer ... but weeks later the points showed up at my account.
Off-topic: I booked through Priceline a 4-star hotel in Paris. Hotel was like a 2-star and I complaint by e-mail. Today I got a message from PL, they will refund the $140 more or less. That's a very good service from Priceline. ^
Maybe my browser is screwed up, but when I open this link "http://anythingpoints.ebay.com/getpoints.html", the only logo I see is the Points.com logo.

I made a couple bids a week ago, and to this date the points has yet to show up. Is that normal, or should I e-mail Priceline to inquire about the missing points? (The reservation is for my friends, could PL deny me points because the bid wasn't for myself?)
I've been fighting with them for months. They have admitted there are problems with the transfer and are working on it. I've now been 6 weeks waiting for points to post and I've emailed them 4 times and been asked to call customer service 4 times. If we all put on the heat, they'll get it fixed.

 Do anyone else have an itchy anus? ?
