Priceline for Canadians

Can Canadians use Priceline only if they have an American Express credit card?

You can use any card when you use Priceline. I use them all the time. The only thing I had to do when I registered with them was have a U.S. address. They never cross reference the billing address of the card or anything. I just happen to have an address in the States as well but I have friends who have just used my U.S. address or other friends address etc. As I say nothing is ever cross referenced and I use Master Card and Visa (with Canadian billing addresss). The rules may have changed since I registered - perhaps they will take any address now.

I registered to use priceline a quite a while ago when you had to ahve a US address...or rather I should say, you had to modify your Canadian address to fit into the US format...which is what I did. However, as I understand it now, they accept Canadian addresses with no problem. Mastercard works just fine with Priceline.

What did you have to modify, just the postal code?

It used to be that you chad to make it ollk like an American address. SO I'd put my state as CA and zip code as 90211 or anything. It also used to be that you had to use an Amex Card, but I understand that has changed.

I believe now when you put your address in, you have the option of entering the province and proper postal code. I don't know from experience if they take Canadian bank's credit cards, like CIBC Visa or Royal Bank. I still use my AmEx. But try it and see if it gets accepted.
Good luck. Price Line is definately worth using.
