Interesting idea; I had no problems previously with priceline because I
was living in california but now I'm up north... I've found too many
sites where they insist on having the address filled in via menus that
only include US states or a few countries or whatever.  I suppose if
you can squeeze a full address in the text fields then you might get
away with choosing just any old state in the menus.

Fortunately on this occasion my wife has reminded me that I do still
have a US cc I can use, so panic over. It's good to have an effective
external memory!
