我是在https://www.betterbidding.com/上看到的，有人测试了，
果然如此。我不知道这里有多少人用Priceline上和Hotware，我
是经常用。所以给用的朋友提一个醒！
用Priceline上和Hotware的朋友跟个贴，给点鼓励。
具体的POST的连接在下面。
I just read an interesting post over at Flyertalk.com and thought I should share it with all of you... Seems different rates are quoted for hotels or airline tickets, depending on the browser you are using when visiting Hotwire.
Try it yourself... Do a hotel search using Internet Explorer. Then duplicate the search using a different browser (Netscape or Mozilla for example) and you will see that rates on IE are $2-6 HIGHER!
I'm left wondering if the same applies to Priceline... If lower bids are accepted when I visit their site using Netscape vs. IE.
Anyone have any experience with this?
I don't believe that it is againts the law to offer lower prices based on the browser or operating system you are using at least on Hotwire. It might be unethical, however. If Priceline is doing anything like this and call process bidding then I have to agree with you.
---------------------------
It was Amazon that gave lower prices for users that were using Linux operating system instead of Microsoft when checking prices on their website. It is pretty much the same than Wal-Mart that typically has higher prices in low income neigborhoods in some products because people there doesn't necessarily compare prices when shopping. and there is less competition.
--------------------------
Here's a test I just ran.
Austin, TX. Sep 17-20, 2 zones (downtown & south austin).
First tried IE 6.0, then 2 minutes later, on the same computer, Netscape 6.2.
The same 7 hotels were returned.
IE - NS
$40 - $39
$41 - $39
$53 - $50
$60 - $53
$62 - $60
$167 - $167
$183 - $183
----------------------
I guess that proves the point... I just did a quick search again for Atlanta and came up with the same thing - Netscape is always $1-4 less than IE! Something to keep in mind for those using Hotwire...
A similar search thru Priceline's Vacation Packages returned the same rates both IE and Netscape, so I'm guessing Priceline doesn't differentiate between browsers.
