Priceline first rose to fame with the "Name Your Own Price" system, where a traveler could name the price they were willing to pay for a hotel room, rental car, flight, etc. Their number would be checked against the system Priceline had with various hotels, airlines and rental car companies. If there was a match, the traveler would be notified of the specifics, for example, the car company, airline or hotel involved in the transaction, and where it was located. In the early days of the program, the transaction, once processed, was final, with no recourse for cancellation or refunds.

For a brief time in 2004, Shatner was replaced as the spokesman for the company by his old Star Trek costar Leonard Nimoy. Shatner would still appear in commercials, bumping into his so called "replacement". http://www.clickz.com/3300651 When that campaign came to a close, Shatner was back in the saddle as the pitchman.

In 2007, Shatner became known as the "Priceline Negotiator" when the company switched marketing agencies to the agency of Butler, Stern, Shine and Partners in November 2006. The first set of "Priceline Negotiator" commercials came out in January 2007 and the numbers didn't lie: by March, traffic to Priceline's site had skyrocketed 78 percent.http://www.allbusiness.com/marketing-advertising/4218168-1.html

Now, with Shatner as the "Priceline Negotiator", booking fees have been permanently eliminated from the mix at Priceline. Shatner also is promoting the "Best Price Guarantee", where if a customer books something on Priceline and finds a lower price deal anywhere on the web in the following twenty four hours, Priceline will either: a) cancel their reservation so they may rebook at the lower price, or b) refund the customer 100% of the difference. In addition, if the customer lives in the United States, Priceline will offer a coupon of $50 off their next booking of a two night or longer vacation package through Priceline. http://www.priceline.com/promo/best_price_guarantee.asp

Priceline also has the "Big Deal Guarantee", where a customer finds a lower price for a two star or higher hotel after they booked their room but before checking in, on a competing website for the same hotel and dates, Priceline will refund the customer 100 percent of the difference or put a $25 credit on the credit card charged in the original transaction. The company also will offer the aforementioned $50 coupon as well. http://www.priceline.com/promo/big_deal_guarantee_terms.html
