On 3/28/08 I purchased a vacation package over the phone from Priceline.com for my honeymoon. I believed all the ads that this was the best place to book. Boy was I wrong! The representative screwed up my reservation and confirmed a different package and price than what I was charged for on my credit card. In fact they charged me a lot more than what I had agreed to. Upon receiving the email confirmation and seeing the mistake I called priceline to correct the error and they said sure, for a fee. I informed them that this was their mistake and asked again for them to correct it. They said no. I spoke with Teddy from the corporate offices who apologized and assured me that I would receive a full refund in 10 business days. After 15 business days passed and still no refund, I called again. I got the same run around. I received a partial refund but not the entire thing not even half. Now priceline says I have to wait for the airline to issue the refund. I waited again and then contacted US Airways who informed me that they have no intention of issuing a refund due to pricelines error and if I want my money I need to call them and get it. I called them back and they said again that their hands were tied. Now I am out over $650 because priceline made a mistake and refuses to refund it. Don't make the same mistake I did. Spend the little extra cash and book with expedia. Expedia even gave me a discount when they heard how much trouble I had with their competitor. Now thats customer service!

I to am on a mission.  You would not believe what Priceline.com did to me.  I bought a vacation package to the Bahamas, in March 2008.  In April I was in a near fatal accident that paralyzed me from the neck down, needless to say, I was in the hospital when my trip was booked, and I was unable to cancel. I didn't have the documentation at the hospital and it was not the first thing on my mind. Living was!!  Anyhow, Well I am accepting life and getting better and I need a vacation so bad and I wrote them a letter stating what happened they said no way would they give me a new trip or refund my money!!  I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I was shocked. And they were so rude and uneducated I just could not believe it. I was speechless!!
 
So I have spent a good amount of time, typing letters and sending them to every contact on the site, except for corporate you know they do not have a contact for them of course. Well since I am in a wheelchair now, and my doctor will not release me to work I have all the time in the world to fight this. And let everyone know what they did to me.  I am sending them the letters. I have sent them to corporate and every contact I could find and no response at all!! It is so unfair the way they can get away with this kind of treatment. They treat their customers so badly it is unbelievable, I really cannot believe they are in business.

I won't go into my long story, but I agree that Priceline.com is a major rip off. We booked a packaged and purchased their insurance. We had a family emergency, cancelled way in advance and of course were denied cancellation because we had purchased the trip insurance and it could only be handled by AIG their insurer. After submitting the time-line, circumstances, we were denied based on their policy limitations that were not given to us in advance or we would not have wasted the extra money for trip insurance. Amazing fraud on the part of these two companies. I will never use their services again and will write letters to all Attorney General's of each State they operate in.

Where to begin. First of all their customer service is atrocious. The first time I called I found out several crucial things:
1. Their representatives have NO IDEA what is on their website.
2. Their representatives cannot help you with any price discrepancies advertised on their website.
3. Their representatives are total spam artists. They talk so much nonsense, I am surprised they don't find themselves laughing at their own absurdities.

The second call to customer service I found out something else:
1. They are technically not allowed to transfer calls to their supervisors.
2. They are also not allowed to transfer you to "real" customer service without a request number...which ofcourse is gained by.
3. They broke rules 1 and 2 by transferring me to a supervisor and customer service the first time I called.
4. They are good at arguing.

I am flabbergasted. I called in with a grievance and am more frustrated then ever. You want good service? Don't call these guys.
