Priceline
Travel on, now:
One of the areas where Priceline can offer a deep discount is through its Express Deals. These opaque bookings keep details of the hotel secret until the booking is complete.

Orbitz
Travel on, now:
Orbitz is easy-to-use OTA, but something that makes it different is its strong in-house loyalty program. Every booking earns Orbucks, and 1 Orbuck is worth $1.
