We purchased airline tickets from PriceLine.com on Dec/14/2022 through a live agent (Justin) for flights to ***** and back. Our departure was on March 25,2023. Justin sent confirmation email December 14,22. We had paid another company for a tour of Japan starting on March 26th 2023.
For some reason, our credit card company considered it to be a fraudulent transaction. We talked to our credit card company and told them that this is not a fraudulent transaction. They confirmed with an email on Jan/19/2023. This email WAS FORWARDED TO JUSTIN. Pasting that email here.
"We’ve closed the outstanding dispute(s) on your ****** ******** ***** account. We’re confirming that you no longer dispute the following charge(s):
Merchant Transaction Date Amount PRICELINE FLIGHTDEALS *********** ** *2/14/2022 $2597.36."
On March 24th (the day before our flight of March 25th 2023), we got a call from Priceline that Priceline has cancelled all our flights. Priceline told us that day that our flights were cancelled by Priceline because there was a complaint of fraud on the transaction. We told them that that had been resolved and we had send a confirmation email from our credit card company (****) to Priceline (Justin).
We were left in a limbo. We had no choice but to purchase new tickets from another company at a much higher price.
We want to get a full refund from Priceline of $2597.36 and also warn others not to ever deal with PriceLine.
We tried to resolve the issue with Priceline. Priceline says that the tickets we purchased from Priceline were non-refundable. But, they are the ones who cancel our tickets, not us. They must give a full refund.Business Response

I was booking a room for hotel this evening. There was no mention that this was through Priceline. They put and additional 75.00, they have deceptive practices. You are unable to talk to anyone. They gave me different numbers to call, to no avail. They intentionally inconvenience you. I was on the phone with them ten minutes after booking. I had to find out from the hotel that this was Priceline. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide me with.Business Response

Trip to ***** from *** ********** **
Booked trip through Priceline on Sunday November 6, 2022 @ 8:36pm, Trip # ************16. Issue is not receiving a refund for flights which includes two round trip tickets. I missed my flight due to my own personal issues, I called and tried to reschedule however Priceline cancelled my trip and would not release the reservation until I paid a no show fee which I paid directly to *** airlines. I've constantly called Priceline weekly regarding a refund, the amount they've listed is 574.43 per ticket and have been giving me the run around with various escalation transfers and informing me that I will receive a phone call back with resolution, I have not been able to resolve anything with Priceline. Today in my call I spoke with Lawrence employee # *******, he informed me that it's out of Priceline's control as only a 3rd party consolidator can provide the breakdown and refund amount. I explained that I have been trying for over a month, he advised there is nothing they can do but continue leaving messages for the consolidator.Business Response

We booked a vacation package, the hotel was not how we expected it to be, we left the hotel the same day and they front desk and manager, because we used Priceline as a 3rd party for the reservation, they will be the ones processing the refund.
I've contacted Priceline 3 times and they keep giving me the run around with the excuse that they can't get in touch with some one at the hotel, they put me on hold while they call and that is there way of handling the verification.
I asked for a manager, they send me to a senior agent, when I asked for a direct phone number, I'm told they don't have one. I contacted the hotel and the next day, they sent me my invoice after I explained I need it for Priceline to get my refund, the total $0.00 .
It was that easy for me to get that invoice, yet Priceline for 2 months has not been able to communicate with the Hotel.
Their tactics are unprofessional and puts all the burden on the customer.
They are the partners with the hotel, they should have a direct line of communication, instead of the supposed phone call, they they claim to make the verity my stay.
I expect my refund
Best regards.Business Response

Dear **** *******,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the hotel portion of your vacation package reservation for Request Number *********17.
We are writing in response to your Better Business Bureau complaint.
We understand that you canceled your reservation on the day of check-in. Please note that you booked a non-refundable rate where cancellation is not an available option. We contacted the hotel and confirmed that you checked out the same day that you checked in; however, they charged the first night as a cancellation fee. Therefore, we refunded the remaining (3) nights' charge of 411.87 USD. We process refunds within one business day through our system. You may contact your bank directly to inquire about their posting time.
We hope you find this information helpful.

I have been contacting Priceline multiple times ,and still today, on cancellation for a flight and hotel reservation. I booked a trip and a a few days later was informed of a medical surgery for cancer that was discovered with my mother. A date that I would be traveling. I would not be able to make the trip so I contacted Priceline and they asked me to send in documentation or proof for cancellation. I sent in a medical certificate as they requested but now they are telling me there is nothing that can be done. I would have not cancelled if I didn’t have this medical emergency.
I need assistance on the matter PLEASE. I do not find it very unethical that they cannot assist. They just place me on hold and say there’s nothing they can do. I even mentioned if they can give me a credit I would be ok, I do not need the actual refund as I have used their services multiple times before. Need Help!!Business Response

I booked a rm through priceline from Sunday April 30 - Checkout Tuesday May 2 2023.
We checked in around 6pm. We had really bad customer service. We didn't feel so safe so we decided to call before we would go to out rm. To see if priceline could give us a refund for 1 night. Since we got the 24 hour cancelation booking. The agent said she needed to call the hotel and we asked her not because we were gonna stay there for that night and we already felt uncomfortable and not safe.But she refused and still called. Making us feel more uncomfortable. When she came back on the phone she said she couldn't do anything for us. We felt that we could not stay there. Because it would not be safe for us to stay. Wel let priceline know that we were in an uncomfortable situation where we did not not feel safe. I spoke to Nixy manager her ID number is 46115268 she said she would try to get my money back. She left me a voicemessage. I have that. And she also said everything is recorded. Me and my husband ended up staying somewhere else and paid more. The next day I called to see what the status was on my refund This Michael manager said there was nothing he could do. I told him that Nixy said she would try to get my refund back but he was very rude and said he could not help me.Business Response

I purchased 2 one way tickets from ******* to ********* on April 2nd to fly back home from a concert myself and a friend were to attend in ******* on April 5th.
On April 5th after many delayed flights due to Air Traffic Control grounding ALL FLIGHTS in and out of ******* due to weather, our flight to ******* was canceled, subsequently rendering the tickets purchased for our return trip for April 6th useless. I contacted Priceline about the situation on the evening of April 5th after arriving back home from the airport. I spoke to several different CSR and the last person I spoke to said that Priceline could not issue the refund and that ******** ******** had to cancel our flight and IF they did, only then could I receive a refund. I immediately called ******** ******** and after speaking with CSR Nicole, she allowed the cancelation and said that ******** could not themselves issue my money back because I bought thru a 3rd party aka Priceline but that the money would be refunded to Priceline and they would issue back to me. I have proof of the original flight being canceled, proof of ******** agreeing and canceling the return tix for us but a month later Priceline STILL has failed to issue me my refund. This is officially beyond ridiculous. All I want is my money back. Weather related issues are to the fault of no one and HUNDREDS of flights wer canceled on the 5th and 6th due to weather and the rebooking of travelers for the 5th to the 6th. I've never had ANY airline not refund because of weather issues no matter the cancelation policy as weather issues are completely different. My flight was canceled. Priceline received their money back now where the **** is my 346.14??
No, I do not wish to receive a credit for the money spent. I want my money back IN FULL. They received theirs for the cancelation, I should as well!Business Response

I booked a ****** ***** room on April 29 (Trip# ************17). It was $284. I paid it. It said it was non-refundable.
At the hotel, I met my friends who had booked the same room at the same hotel for the same night, at the same time I booked, except used a different vendor. Their cost: $182 that included breakfast. I used that vendor's site and went as far as I needed to confirm that rooms were in fact available at $182. I did not put in my credit card info to pay for it b/c I could not cancel PL's reservation.
I used PL confirmation email, replied to it, and included the screenshots of the other agency prices. The email did not go through. Nonetheless, I uploaded the information to PL site. I did not hear back from PL.
Today, May 3, 2023 I contacted PL by phone and ended up in the ***********. What I got were bad connection, hard-to-understand accents, and its all your fault attitude. I asked for the US phone number. They said there is none.
I need PL to explain to me why their price is so much higher, and if their price guarantee does not cover a situation like this, what does it do? As noted, I contacted PL same day after I found out that I was overcharged.
BTW, at ****** I asked their rate. Mr. N*****, the manager, told me that it is between $180 to $250 for that day depending on the room. So, PL charged more than the hotel itself. So, we should not automatically assume PL prices are lower than the hotel itself.
I need PL to reimburse me for the difference which is about $120.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:1- Part of Priceline's response is not even intelligible.
2- I did email Priceline same day within hours, and included proof of their price gauging. I had included proof that I had sent that the email.
3- My complaint is not about Priceline's price guarantee alone, which allows it to hide behind semantics to hide the fact that it gave me an inflated price which, unknown to me, was 50% above the competition AND also 50% above the ****** *****'s own price given to me by the hotel manager, Mr N*****, $180 for the same room and date.
4- If PL does not remove its excess charge, I will dispute the charge with my credit card company and file an additional complaint with the ******** ******** ******* too.

Dear *** *********,
We received your rejection.
The rate we received from the hotel for this inventory is a specially negotiated rate with the hotel that may normally not be available to the general public. We received this rate because of the volume of rooms we purchase from them that we also sell on our site. We still try to price them very competitively.
At the time of booking (Apr. 29, 2023, 6:09 AM), it was the best rate we had for your itinerary. Please note that the inventory changes from time to time. We have no control over the rates that our partner provides us and the rates that they offer at their property. Regrettably, we cannot issue a refund.
Thank you for your time.

January 22, 2023 I purchased a couple of tickets with Priceline, I cancelled the tickets within an hour. As per Priceline policy any tickets cancelled within 24 hrs will receive full refund. I was refunded for one ticket but not for the other two. They said they will send me a check for the rest of the money, without confirming my current address they decided to send it to the cards billing address which unfortunately does not even have my apartment number. I called February and talked to someone who to my impression updated my address and promised to have a new check sent to my new address. This I called added after months of “we are escalating your case” they decided to tell me that it’s not in their hands now and I have to take it up with the post office. I have never received the check and the post office has no knowledge of. I used company money on hopes that I will get my refund and hate having to reimburse they out of pocket.

I booked a room and a suite in the ******** ***** ***** on april 17th for 1 night. The suite costed about $300 more than the room. When i arrived to the hotel around 1 am to check in the hotel told me we have no suites available and we can only give you a room instead so i accepted and asked for a refund but the hotel told me we cant give you any refund since you booked through a 3rd party (priceline). The next day i called priceline to get a refund and they confirmed my story with the hotel but said that we cant issue any refund.
This is totally not my fault and its priceline fault since they charged me for a suite but didnt provide one.
Spoke with priceline from customer support through the manager ( who only told me we cant issue any refund and hanged up on me in a 2 minutes call) but had no success in getting any refund or at least a credit.Business Response
