Priceline will start to get a lot more reasonable with you based on how confident they are they can book that room and if you have any coupon codes. So they didn't make a huge margin off me but they unloaded a room they didn't think they would sell. [08:03] DaemonFC I did about 30% off the hotel's listed rate for the same room.
