Hotwire.com — hotwire refuses to refund the money
Valerie
Review updated:
I purchased airline tickets through Hotwire.com for a holiday trip. The trip was cancelled by the airline and the airline agreed to refund the ticket price in late December. Hotwire refuses to refund the money to me because they are "waiting" for the airline to provide the check number of the refund. Hotwire knows how much money I paid and acknowledges that a refund was agreed to by the airline. At this point they are in possession of my original payment, plus the refund from the airline. Repeated calls to resolve the matter go nowhere, and I am not getting return calls by anyone with authority to fix the problem. This is UNETHICAL and Hotwire employees should be ashamed.

Excuse me,
But HW is a great company. They actually release the funds immediately. It is really up to "your ### bank" to get the funds posted back to you. I"m sure you've been refunded now, so quit your pitty ###. The website is for people who can understand and read the terms of use and listen effectivly. No matter where you went to a discount, you would be disappointed. Howwire provides better assistance than other discount websites I've used. Quit complaining, or take your remarcks off line. I"m sure a specialist let you know it was all up to your bank, and HW offers conference calls with banks to help release funds sooner if it is a problem. You obviously do not know how to listen and will never be happy receiving discounts. I recommend that you don't use discount sites and book directly through the airlines or a travel agent. And by the way, travel agents use Hotwire all the time.
Get a grip,

Andrienne must be a ###ing worker at hotwire. They are a ###ing ### company who desperately sucking on people money.

Itenerary number 7334454395789. When we went to check into our room tonight, motel did not have a booking for us. We called hot wire and they had a booking for us but it was not related to hotel. I will never use hotwire again as many other visitors to hotel had complaints about your service.

My name is Thang Nguyen. My confirmation number is 4876764246. I have reserved a compact car with Thrifty for May 12 till May 14, 2018. Regarding to the booking, my charge would be $63.05. Thrifty charged my booking over $167 which is almost triple time what I expected. I felt unfair and very disappointed for my first time booking through hotwire.

I was charged for $164.84 for a car that I canceled 2 days prior to the pickup date due to some horrible "hot dates" or whatever. I'm from California and was traveling to Texas for my nephew's military funeral. I'm a disable veteran & need my money. December 28th, #1156231774

Booked a hotel through Hotwire. At the hotel reception I was told that they do not have any registration under my name and they can not let me in. Imagine, I was with family (two kids), took me two hours to reserve another hotel. After almost two months Hotwire is still researching. The customer service is beyond disaster.

Book a car rental online, Hotwire says this car is not available. No car and Hotwire charges me $1.00 for nothing. They do have the car but now it's more money. Fauls advertising. How many people do they do this to. Would be a great class action lawsuit to check into.

Hotwire booked me a hotel in Saint Petersburg with a hotel that was being demolished within a month. The room was disgusting so we never stayed on the agreement with Hotwire to refund my 166 usd. It never happened and that was years ago. I have reservations about the integrity of this company so buyer be ware.
