I use priceline all the time through the AGR portal both by bidding and paying the stated rate for hotel rooms, I have never used the pay as you stay option though. My points have always posted in a timely manner, on our last stay my points were taking longer to post than usual, so I tried contacting PL. They responded by telling me I would have to contact the hotel to get my points to post :huh: I responded back and told them the hotel had nothing to do with either AGR or PL. They responded back with some other crazy crap telling me what other hoops I needed to jump through but asw far asw getting points from them, it was out of their hands. I realised it hadn't been the 6 to 8 weeks it states to wait for points to post, so I decided to wait. A few days later my points posted -_- . I think PL customer service people I contacted had no idea that they were even partnered with Amtrak. I guess that makles their customer service as good as Amtraks when it comes to actually being able to "knowledgably"help the customer. I have gotten many thousand points through PL/AGR and I have never had to wait "months" for them to post.
