Even when I have used priceline.com and pay immediately when the bid is accepted, I am asked to present the card for incidental charges when I check in at the hotel. I hope all is fine and you don't have to go through a hassle, but I believe your wallet will be fine.
I went down to NC for Memorial Day and booked a motel online using priceline myself and I did have to show the card upon checking in to the room. There were no charges other than the original posting that I made a few weeks earlier online.
