Hey they are discontinuing the gas program!!.. I never even got a chance to use my card!!! Damn them....
Here is the email i got..


Dear Adam,

This email message is from the Priceline WebHouse Club.

We have some disappointing news for our customers. Sadly, starting
today, October 5th, we will begin to close our WebHouse Club Service
and you can no longer make a request for either Groceries or
Gasoline. We will wind down our operations over the next 90 days.
It is important you read this entire email.

This announcement does not apply to any service of priceline.com -
such as Airline Tickets, Hotel Rooms, New Cars, Long Distance, etc.
It only applies to the WebHouse Club Grocery & Gasoline services.

Your total satisfaction is our #1 priority - especially giving you a
prompt and full refund of any money we owe you for groceries and gas
you have not yet picked up.

Here is exactly what we plan to do to make sure you are
100% satisfied:

1. Please do not try to use your Green WebHouse Grocery Card
or Blue Gasoline Card for any further transactions at the
grocery store or gas station. The cards have been turned off
and will no longer work.

2. You need do nothing. No later than Friday, October 20th,
we will automatically issue a credit to your credit card on
file at the WebHouse Club for the full amount of any groceries
or gasoline you have not picked up.

3. In the next 72 hours, we will calculate how much money we
owe you.

4. We will send you an email summarizing our
refund calculation.

5. Your credit will include extra money to cover our estimate
of the savings that you would have received at the store or
the gas pump. Your refund credit will also include payment for
any unused grocery tokens that you earned by accepting one of
our partner offers.

Please remember, this announcement does not apply to all
priceline.com services such as airline tickets, hotels, etc. It only
covers groceries and gasoline services at the Webhouse Club.

In summary, to get your full refund plus our added money for the
savings you missed out on, you need do nothing. No later than
Friday, October 20th, we will automatically issue a full credit to
your credit card for any groceries or gasoline balance remaining in
your account.

We know you're disappointed that we can't continue to provide you
with grocery and gas savings, and we appreciate all that you've done
for us as our customer. In just under one year, the Priceline
WebHouse Club has attracted over 2 million customers, but market
conditions are such that we have decided to wind down our operations
over the next 90 days. We apologize for any inconvenience and please
let us know if we can fix any problem or answer any questions about
your account.

Again, thank you for using the WebHouse Club. Our Web site Customer
Service Department will remain fully open to help you in any way we
can. We hope that you will continue to use priceline.com services in
the future and that even as we wind down our Grocery and Gasoline
Services, we at the WebHouse Club will continue to earn your
confidence.

Sincerely,

The Webhouse Club Team

P.S. Questions about your automatic refund? Please wait for our
email if you can, and then if you still have questions, please
return to our Web site to send us an email. To make sure that we
can respond to you quickly, please do not reply to this email.

First it took me for ever to get my card, then took forever to get an activater replacement, and now they cancel the program. They suck....

and $1.20 is a damn good price.. I couldn't even get that here when gas was $1.45/gal for 93!

Damn boy! how'd you do that? sign up under different names?

I just saw on the news about priceline cancelling their service, but I haven't gotten any email yet.

I got the same message, didn't they say something about crediting people money for loss of potential savings? Maybe I misread as I went through it real quick

Max Speed

I never heard anything about a $3 monthly charge???

WoodEar

I sign up with some of their offers to get the lowest price.
Olive Garden $20 coupon. (i do eat there anyway)
$20 phone card. (really works! 3.9c per minute state to state)
Switching my home long distance carrier. (i cheated, i never gave them the real number in the 1st place )

MaximaZero

$1.20?!?! and i thought i had a deal with $1.70! definitely beats $2.19

Tried it a while back, looking for 92 for the Acura. Price at Arco and USA was $2.05 or so... Priceline offered $2.19, 2.09, $1.99 at name-brand stations.... when the local name-brands were around $2.09.

Then again in the Bay Area, gas is $$$$. So I guess for you guys it actually worked!

I'm just glad I didn't buy their stock! It's totally tanked , dropping from $160 to $5 a share over the last year and a half.

WoodEar

saw on TV last night, they lost 16 BILLIONS, sheesh, image how many Ferrari's you can buy with that money??
All investors' money, sucks for them.
