Your Guide to Saving Big with Priceline in May 2026

If you’ve booked travel online, you know Priceline. It’s the site that lets you compare flights, hotels, rental cars, and cruises all in one place. Remember those old commercials with William Shatner? They stuck with us. But you don’t need a celebrity pitchman to score a deal. We keep our Priceline coupon codes fresh so you can travel without breaking the bank.

Right now, the simplest way to save is signing up for Priceline VIP Rewards. It’s free and gets you perks like a best-price guarantee, exclusive hotel savings, and rental car discounts. Once you join, you can unlock 10% off Express Deals—those limited-time rates that can slash hotel and flight costs by up to 60%. Just be aware: Express Deals hide some details until after you book, and they’re non-refundable. It’s the modern version of the old “Name Your Own Price” system.

To grab that 10% off, sign up for Priceline emails. They’ll send you a custom code. Then log in, search for hotels with the Express Deals badge, and apply the code at checkout. For a straight $10 off your next Hotel Express Deal, use promo code F0B22DYZL6 by May 31.

Want bigger discounts? Check out Hot Deals. You can find up to 99% off hotels in Cancun and Maui—think $1,000 off—or $500 off stays in Los Angeles. These expire July 8 and July 6, respectively. There’s also a Cruise Flash Deal giving up to $1,250 onboard credit on select lines. And rental cars? Use a Priceline code to knock $10 off your booking.

Students can verify through Student Beans for special spring break discounts, plus VIP Rewards. Military members who verify through American Forces Travel can save up to 50% on hotels.

We test every code here to make sure it works. The best approach? Start from a verified offer, pick your category, check your login, and review the final price before confirming. If you hit a snag, Priceline’s 24/7 chat is the fastest way to get help.
