Priceline.com Booking flights online

Today I spent valuable time finding flights that met my date/time requirements. I was so happy when I finally began entering in all the necessary information only to have Priceline change the amount of the flight, saying that the price I found is no longer available. OK, so I decided that I would deal with the increase and I continued with my credit card info and hit PAY. As soon as I did, I got a message saying that my trip was cancelled because one of the flights I chose was no longer available. Try as I might, I was not able to find out which flight was not available, so that I could select another flight. In the meantime, I looked at my credit card info and I could see the charge pending. I called Priceline and was told that it wasn't them that cancelled the flight but the airline and that I would have to contact them. I was connected to the airline and they informed me that the flights I booked are available and it was Priceline that cancelled. I called Priceline again, this time I was told that it was rejected by my credit card company, probably because I entered in wrong information. I did not enter in any wrong info, I am very thorough and check things 3x. On top of all this, when I went back onto the Priceline site to look for an alternate flight, the flights I booked were still available. That means other people are going to have the same issue that I had, booking and being charged only to find be cancelled at the end. I don't like being lied to. What kind of scam is this? I don't think I will ever try Priceline again and I urge others to be very careful. I am very disappointed in this company.

Desired outcome: I would have liked the Priceline flight department to help me find another suitable flight and to compensate me by giving a small discount on that flight.

Priceline.com Advertisement misleading

My name is Lorie Sellers my cruise number is 22-[protected]

I booked my cruise labor day weekend I took screen shots of everything your ad stated free wi - fi and drinks also 200 on board credit. I payed for my cruise in full and when I checked my itinerary the drinks and wi-fi was not included. I called and left a call back number on 1-16 never received a call back. Darlene who is going with me called today they told her there was a choice you picked the 200 on board credit or free wi fi? I called again tonight spoke with Christoper Williams and I send him screen shots. He said if I got a balcony upgrade so I didn't get the free drinks and wi-fi there was no options like that when I booked. This was a labor day sale I did my homework and so I thought this was the best deal. Very disappointed.

Desired outcome: I would like the free drinks and wi - fi the ad stated.

Priceline.com American Airlines credit purchased through priceline.com

I purchased tickets on 3/11/21 through price line leaving Tampa to Panama on 4/15/21. I was unable to go to Panama so I called priceline.com to cancel the ticket. I was told I would get a credit of $284.00 I can use towards another trip within a year.

I received an email almost at the year mark stating I had until 4/15/22 to book a trip. So I made plans to go to Texas to use the credit. When I tried to put in the voucher it did not go through. When I called priceline.com on 3/22 they said it had already expired. I told the lady I had the email confirmation that said it was valid until 4/15/22. She said priceline.com system is sending out the wrong dates. So who fault is that? You sent an email stating I have until 4/15/22 to use it. Furthermore, I received another email stating I had until 9/3/22 to use the credit. That is a switch and bait. You can't tell someone one date and not honor it. If you know your system is sending out wrong dates then you should be sending out correction emails. Not more emails pushing the date out even more. That is just bad business all they way around!

Desired outcome: Get my credit back since priceine.com sent out the wrong dates. I would have used it if they sent out the correct date.

Priceline is a scam the first image is the price showing on their website $114, the second image is what happens when you try to book it on line, and I tryed several dates and the 3rd image is the price given to me by an agent on the phone when I couldn't book the flight online it was 3 times more money $377. How do these companies get away with this stuff it's incredible.

Desired outcome: Sale me the ticket for the price showing on your website

Yes a complete scam.

3 days in a row they offered the exact same hotel for 64% off at $153 a night was my VIP price.

When I clicked to book and pay it said the room was no longer available and it was now 30% off at $296 a night. When I clicked to book it said the room was no longer available and the room was now 26% off and $305 a night. I did this signing in from a new browser 3 days in a row. After several hours on the phone Priceline was no help, all they said it was computer glitch and nothing they could do. Spoke to 7 different people who claimed to be managers but they were not.

Priceline.com Refund

I reserved and paid for a room at BW- Dallas Love Field TX July 5 2022- July 8 2022. Upon arrival the hotel did not have me on record. After 2 hours in the foyer of the hotel trying to deal with Priceline to understand the issue, it turned out that Priceline did NOT turn my reservation into BW. I wasn’t the only customer that happened to while I waited. PL refused to do anything except get me to a different hotel to which cost less and an entirely different atmosphere/rated hotel than I paid for. I had to pay out more money or stay in my car. I have filed with the BBB as well as the AG for reimbursement. SOMEONE come to my rescue! I also have complaints with South Carolina for the same

Desired outcome: Full reimbursement for both hotels.

Priceline.com Airline cancellations

Booked a flight in August for a March vacation for $1500. Tried to cancel flight but they could not do it. They did refund the hotel, but the flight was a lot of money. I’m having my credit card investigate it and cancelling my card but it was already charged. I can’t afford the trip now and cannot get any satisfaction. I will NEVER use Priceline again OR Alaskan Airlines, they rip people off.

Desired outcome: Refund my money

Priceline.com Car rental

My name is John Conway. I use Priceline very frequently for hotels but it is the first time that I have used it for air travel and car rental. The air travel was fine but I booked a car at Dollar Car Rental (reservation # K3412808284 ) (Priceline Trip Number: [protected] ) but when I got to the counter they told me that there would be at least a 2 hour wait. I had to take a cab to my meeting in Delray Beach.

Desired outcome: Have Dollar drop a car for me at the Aloft Hotel in Delray Beach, Fla.

Priceline.com Avis rental car

I traveled to Chicago, IL from Houston, TX January 10, 2023 to attend my father’s funeral on January 10, 2023 beginning at 10:30 am. I reserved and paid for a rental car on priceline.com. The reservation information is as follows:

Confirmation number 01986725US6
Pick-up Tue, January 10 9:00AM
Drop-off Tue, January 10 7:00PM
Location
Avis Rent a Car
O'Hare Intl Airport (ORD)
10255 West Zemke Blvd, Chicago, IL 60666
The following flight, Houston, TX - Chicago, IL

Tuesday, January 10, American Airlines Flight 2055 arrived on time, leaving at 6:00AM lAH and arrived 8:35AM at ORD. I went directly to Avis to pick up the rental car. When I walked into the building, Avis was located straight ahead and to the left of the hallway. There was an extremely long line of people waiting , some as long as two hours.

A security guard in the building advised me that there was an Avis office located upstairs and that I could go upstairs to get assistance. I went upstairs and there was a long line of people waiting to be assisted who had also been waiting for hours.

After waiting a few minutes, I was told that upstairs was for preferred customers only. By that time I had to call a relative to pick me up because I would have been extremely late or missed my father’s funeral all together while waiting to get the rental car.

I never got the car, was not assisted by any customer service representative at the Avis location and was still charged $133.60. I contacted Priceline customer service Thursday, January 12th to resolve the issue. The customer service representative rambled on about the no refund policy and totally disregarded the fact that I absolutely did arrive on time to pick up the car and to no fault of my own wasn’t assisted. The location was clearly understaffed and employees not helpful at all.

My experience with Avis and Priceline employees has been horrendous. I am requesting a refund. Proof of my fathers’s funeral and flight information is attached along with the rental car receipt.

Desired outcome: Refund

Priceline.com Air tickets

I purchased a round trip ticket to El Salvador from Wichita KS on Sept 20, 2022 for travel on Dec 15 booking #P3F7242. I received multiple schedule changes perhaps 10 to 13 including time delays up to several days. I was rerouted to different airports. And finally they claimed there were no seats. I called the airline, they had seats on both original flights but, for some reason Priceline could not book those seats. I ended up driving to KC amd.flying from there. I must have spent 16 to 24 hours on hold with them being transferred from person to person. All I get is a big runaround. It has been 4 weeks since I requested a refund. I have called and talked to their people 4 or 5 x for refund. They say the refund center will contact me. I have been told this 3x. They never call. What can I do to get my refund?

Desired outcome: Refund my full charges of 943.80. It is not fair for Priceline to deduct any fees as I feel it was their fault I did not get seats.

Priceline.com Unused american airlines credit

I had reserved and paid for tickets for 2 tickets using credit from previous cancelled trip CANCELED

Sun, Aug 1 - Thu, Jul 29 [protected]@ $ 116. 00 / per person. I did not see reservations closer to date of departure and called to confirm the night before, Priceline representative stated all is good for departure 3/12/22 @ 530p for 2 people including myself and an under 18 minor. Arrived @ Cleveland Hopkins airport for departure time and there was no ticket for the under 18 minor. The system but no “ticket” We could not check in or board plane. I would not leave my minor and hop on plane solo! I spoke with American Airlines desk attendant, several Minutes went by while he researched the issue. It came down to an error on Priceline side. A “ VCR” was there so what he explained is that no ticket was generated for Rajah. I do not understand this as I have used Priceline before and reserved, paid for and did not have a issue flying I called Priceline, the fist representative answered and quickly put me in hold to get someone else. I then spoke with a “supervisor “ YHam, whereby she put me on hold several times during a long about 3 hr conversation without a resolution. Please note I was still in airport. She stated it had been investigated, however she did see the issue. It was very frustrating and time consuming.

No Resolution! I ultimately had to pay for a ticket and was able to get on flight next day morning d/ t luck of flight being delayed! I am asking to have a reimbursement of cost of ticket $ 361.80 this includes the credit of $116.00 that was to be used when I initially called to reserve and pay extra $85.00 for the tickets

Please respond, Thank You

I would like check sent no more “credit”

Priceline should have address on file

Thank You

Priceline.com Car rental

On January 8th I contracted with Priceline for a Hertz rental car. Priceline Trip #[protected]. Pick-up February 19th and return February 28th. On January 10th my travel dates changed. I now need the rental for 4 days less and wanted to pick the car up on February 23rd. I contacted Priceline first online and then by phone. I explained the date change. No refund was requested. I just asked Priceline to advise Hertz that I would be picking the car up 4 days later. They told me to call Hertz. I called Hertz. Their representative explained that since Priceline originated the reservation, only they could make a modification. I called Priceline back. The representatives there said they could make no changes. I kept explaining to them that I didn't require a "change." All they have to do is advise Hertz that I will be picking the car up 4 days later. I'm not asking to be refunded any money. They said this constituted a "change" and they could do nothing. What? They refuse to communicate a client's request to have the car I'm paying for be held in the same parking spot where I'll pick it up 4 days later. No change of contract is involved. Merely a notification of a pick-up date. I'm still paying for the car. This is insane.

Desired outcome: Someone at Priceline contacts Hertz to tell them that at JFK airport / JetBlue I'll be picking up the rental car on February 23rd rather than February 19th. Is that so hard?

Priceline.com Priceline software

I was using priceline and the sight got stuck when I was just trying to price to stay at a hotel in Helen Ga at Baymont Hotel. I hit refresh and it charged me. I called Priceline to let them know not only was that a mistake on their end with their software but also, I have covid which is beside the point but regardless this is wrong for them to charge me. I called them immediately to let them know and they would not listen to me that I did not book it. A week prior when I was pricing something the same thing happened, and they shut down their services until it was resolved. You can look back and you will see they charged me at that time three different times for a transaction I did not make but they refunded me. This is a reoccurring problem and I do not feel like I should have to pay for something I did not book. The priceline charge I am referring to is Jan 9 for 191.88.

My phone number is [protected]

Desired outcome: Refund

Priceline.com Wrong room booked and no confirmation email has was sent

I booked a room for Greenville NC for the Hilton through your app, and you booked it as Greenville SC and have not refunded my money. You all promise to send me a confirmation email which never arrived and if I would've got one, I would have noticed the discrepancy and also, I could not bring up the reservation in your app until after I called and inquired. I 100% sure I booked for Greenville, NC and you all will not refund my money. I have called numerous times and emailed with no resolve. I have been promised this would be escalated and would be contacted in 2 days, that has not happened yet! I am a very dissatisfied customer and I want my funds back and this resolved. I have asked for a forward of the confirmation email with date and time stamp and have yet to receive it otherwise I would not complain, because with the confirmation email, I would have noticed the mistake on your end and rebooked. It's Standard multi industry practice to send confirmation emails for products and services bought online and you all did not live up to that and now I am getting the run around. TRIP # [protected]

Desired outcome: a refund sent to Affirm since that is who I finance it through or a refund directly to me for $116.00

Priceline.com Trip cancellation

To whom it may concern.
My name is Sandra I Bernard, Confirmation number for the TRIP IS QQOBVU
Travel date was supposed to be from the 17th Nov-24th Nov 2022.

On Nov 11th 2022 I purchased a ticket from Priceline to go to Trinidad to bury my mother, seeing that the funeral was going to be on the 18th Nov 2022. I called Priceline back and Spoke to Jerry who told me that seeing that my ticket was for Main Cabin I would have to pay, and I told him I was going to bury my mom, he then placed me on hold for a few minutes, when he returned he told me that I can pay $190, I gave him the card to pay the $190. I then received an email that it was time to check in. I could not believe that my trip was cancelled. I called American Airlines, the Representative then informed me that she could not help me since I use a Third Party. I then called Priceline and got Mr, Brian Miller who told me that I would have to buy a new ticket and I questioned why since I paid the additional amt. Mr Miller was very nasty to me and when I mentioned to him, I'm going to call the Army and report how they treat Soldiers he rudely hung up the phone. Someone needs to be responsible since they cancelled the TRIP and not me. I have tried on numerous occasion to resolve this matter to no avail. I did not cancel the TRIP. Had to purchase another while battling the death of my mom. If more information is needed. I've heard stories, but never believe it could happen to me.

Priceline.com Refund - itinerary# [protected]

Dear Priceline Support,

I am writing this email regarding my booking confirmation number [protected]. I booked my flight with you on the recommendation of a very close friend of mine who is also your frequent flight member. However, I am very sorry to say that I had the worst experience of my life.

I faced various problems and issues after booking my flight with you. Firstly, after making the payment, I wanted to reach the helpline to ask a few questions but nothing was working, I tried calling through various means but could not get your response. Secondly, when I contacted for a query to add on extra luggage and pay the difference, the helpline guy told me that I needed to contact British Airways which was my carrier airline and then I had to call British Airways. They told me that I have to call Priceline. Now, I was standing nowhere, I did not know where to call. Either it is you who is the right authority or British Airways is the right authority. Thirdly, when I went to the airport, I got my boarding pass issued and added extra luggage by paying an extra amount of dollars. I also upgraded my flight to the business class. After that, I got stuck in the bathroom and as soon as I reached the gate, there were still many minutes but the staff of the gates refused to let me enter. I tried a lot by requesting them to give me permission and instead of understanding my position, they did not let me enter and sit in the aircraft even though the aircraft started 30 minutes later. After that, I lost my flight. I was in a bad situation, I had to reach the US for an urgent meeting so I had no option but to rebook my flight with another airline and paid extra 3 times of the amount to fly as I had to reach the US at every cost. Now, I am trying to request for the refund as I missed my flight but nobody is ready to help me when I called Priceline. They said that I have to contact British Airways for the refund and when I contacted British Airways, I emailed and filed a complaint to British Airways for my refund or compensation. Now they again said to me that they can’t help me and I have to contact Priceline. I am nowhere now. My complaint is firstly against Priceline for not being approachable and for the bad attitude of the staff of British Airways on the airport. Secondly, against the inability of Priceline to respond to me on how to proceed with my refund request.

Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest.

Regards

Hamza Shaikh

Priceline.com Price Match Guarantee Not Recived

On 11/29 a flight was booked and a price match for the return flight was given. Email was sent confirming that credit. A call a week later to Priceline and it had not been processed. I was told that it would be processed within 5 business days. A call a week after that, I was hung up on by customer service. Called back again and was told that it was processed on 12/15. Called back a week later and was told that it would be processed by 12/30. It's now 1/3/23 and the credit has still not been processed. I spoke to a supervisor who's only response was that he would resend the credit request. The total amount is $44.90. Completely unacceptable that it's now been 5 weeks and that amount has not been processed.

Desired outcome: Process the credit!!!!!!!!!

Priceline.com Don't care about customer

I booked a covid-19 vaccine for my mother with Priceline Pharmacy Chatswood on 3rd Jan 2:30pm. On 9:15AM 3rd Jan I received a call from [protected], a lady told me she can't find my mom's records in system (My Mon had the previous vaccines in another country, so this is expected) and she cannot guarantee my mom will get the vaccine today. I asked for a link for me to upload my record so it can be verified before we arrive here. The answer is No, which means I need to bring my Mon to pharmacy just to upload and verify certificates and a 2nd appointment requirement to have the vaccine.

Desired outcome: a mailbox or any link that I can have the certificate uploaded so we don't have to come to pharmacy twice

I looked in to this further and noticed this happened with another trip as well. I called Priceline and they told me there was nothing I could do and the woman straight up said "you are basically screwed on those points"

I will NEVER again book through Priceline and word of mouth goes a LONG way! I will NEVER suggest a friend or family member to book ANYTHING through PRICELINE.COM!
