(***) **** Airport flight back to (***) ****** ***** through ****** airline was cancel. Cancelation on ****** flights was ongoing without future flight available. I had to book another airline going west to get home. Priceline refused to give me a refund for the delay and flight cancelation. ****** customer representative tell me to take it up with Priceline since their the ones that book my flight. Priceline customer service seem to not want help with this problem. I'm requesting a refund or credit for the flight that was canceled. It's been 1 month and Customer service keep telling me they'll send a email out to ******. I don't understand why Priceline don't have a proper policy to give back refunds. Especially, when I paid for the flight insurance. This will probably be the last time I book through Priceline. Anyone reading this better make sure you're willing to take a loss if your flights cancel. Priceline will keep spinning you in circles until you just give up on the refund.Business Response

Dear **** ***,
Thank you for reaching out regarding your ****** ******* tickets associated with Trip Numbers ********516 and ********517. We are responding to your recent Better Business Bureau complaint.
Our records indicate that the ticket under Trip Number ********517 was exchanged. When a ticket is exchanged, our agency no longer retains control or visibility over the newly issued ticket. As a result, we are unable to process a refund directly and recommend that you contact ****** ******* for further assistance.
To support your request, we reached out to ****** ******* on your behalf. They informed us that the exchange was handled by ******** ******** and they are currently working with them to release the ticket, which would allow ****** to proceed with the refund process.
Regarding Trip Number ********516, ****** ******* has authorized us to process the refund. We have already submitted the request to our Accounting Department for processing.
We anticipate a resolution from ****** ******* within 7–10 business days. In the meantime, please submit a Rejection Response to the Better Business Bureau to ensure your case remains open. We will follow up with you as soon as we receive an update.

I have been attempting to book a flight for over 4 days to visit my grandma. I have a refund that priceline issued and I am trying to use the credit to fly. Every time I book the flight it shows available, once I attempting to apply my credit it shows no flights available and gives me a 800 number to call. I called waited for 57 min and got transfered 7x . Was told that a certain department handles the flights with credit. I got hung up and when called again got transfered again 4x more to end up on step one with a automated system to try to book a flight. It caused me mayor migrain headache that I started to to get dizzy and felt my blood pressure rise I almost had to call the ambulance but luckily my cousin was here and she works in the medical field and was able to notice my pale skin and loss of motion and help me regain control. Now the flight has gone up 112.00 more than the previous 3 days I was attempting to communicate with someone to assistBusiness Response

On 03/31/2025, I purchased a package thru Priceline.com for over $1,000.00. On their website it stated the rental car company was onsite at the ******* airport however it was not and after reading the reviews it was found that this was a 1 star business with multiple complaints and horror stories about people being charged over $300.00 additional dollars. I contacted Priceline.com and after asking to speak with a supervisor I was told the would refund the money for the rental car. The rental car has been cancelled and I have received an email that I will be issued a refund for $140.00. When I log on to track the status of the refund it states "Something went wrong with processing your refund, please contact our customer care team."
I just want my $140.00 back for the rental car so I can find alternate transportation while on the trip
This is the confirmation number for the refund I received ************Customer Answer

My husband purchased a plane ticket, for our son, to attend a family wedding. He also purchased the trip insurance on the flight through the Priceline app. The week before we were to leave (we were driving, our son was flying), my husband’s mother entered into hospice care. We made the decision not to attend the wedding. My husband went onto the app to cancel the flight with no luck after 3 attempts. We then called Priceline. We were finally able to speak to a representative after being hung up on numerous times. The representative informed us that it was a non-refundable ticket and that they don’t honor the insurance because it was done through a 3rd party (even though it was in their app). They gave us a website for the insurance which is convoluted and not easy to use. We purchased the insurance in good faith. The refund should be issued the same way.Business Response

On 3/31/2025 I put together a travel package on the Priceline website and it offered my trip insurance. I marked that I did want the insurance in case something happened. It updated my price with the trip insurance included. The next step was to his book and pay, which is what I did. After it processed my credit card they told me that they took off the insurance and my trip was no longer covered. I called customer service and attempted to get the insurance added back on and they said that the insurance didn't go through on their side. I asked about adding it on now and they said that it was not available since the trip had already been booked. I explained that it was added prior to the package and taken off after they charged me for the trip. I explained that I wanted to insurance in case something happened and that now my trip was non-refundable and non-transferrable. I explained that I wouldn't have bought the trip without the insurance, in case something came up, and they said they still couldn't do anything. The person I was speaking with refused to transfer me to talk to someone higher up.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: this is not accurate. I was offered the insurance prior to buying the package. As soon as I clicked to buy the trip package and my money was accepted, I was notified that the trip insurance was rejected. I was not told this prior to purchasing and asked if I wanted to buy the package without it. I purchased a package that was to have insurance in case something happened. It should not be at my expense that your partner decided to take it away, it should not have been offered then. I would not have bought a package without the ability to cancel or change if needed .

On 1/15/25, I purchased a trip scheduled on 2/1/25 to 2/5/25. Tragically, my brother, who was hospice passed on 1/27/25. The funeral was 2/2/25. On 1/28/25, I called PRICELINE to modification my flight, so that I could attend the funeral. I was prepared to cover the difference. Priceline representative informed me that I was unable to make the flight changes, unless I had a death certificate. I contact the airline directly to inquire about the possibility of a change. Unfortunately, they were unable to make any changes due to third-party (Priceline).
I contacted Priceline once more. I explained that I would purchase two additional one-way tickets to Arizona, and the representative assured me that my vacation package would remain valid. Upon pre-check in with the airlines for our return flight, I was informed that my flight had been canceled. I contacted Priceline, as they attempted to communicate with the airlines to resolve the issue. Indeed, Priceline had canceled my flight because I had not pre-checked in for the first flight, which violated their policy. However, I had not been informed of this information during my previous interactions with Priceline. After several communications with Priceline representatives, I was assured that my vacation package remained valid and could be utilized for my upcoming trip with my wife. However, upon confirming with a Priceline representative, I was informed that I would need to purchase separate flights for our return journey and that Priceline would reimburse me for the difference resulting from their error and the misinformation provided by their representative. I have not yet received it. I have contacted Priceline on multiple occasions, and they have consistently indicated that the refund is being mailed and that I should wait a few more days. On 2/11/25, an email received from Priceline explicitly stated that the refund would be issued due to their error.Business Response

Booked a vehicle for spring break using Priceline’s express deals which are non refundable. We paid in full. Weeks after our booking just days before our trip, we were notified by the individual car rental company that they did not have a vehicle for us. Priceline took no ownership for this issue or inconvenience. They did refund us but we were left without a vehicle and were forced to book through a different company last minute for double the cost.Business Response

During the booking process, we presented the total cost of $493.92 for your rental car, which included a $167.92 charge for taxes and fees. We displayed the summary of charges in your Contract before completing the booking process. Additionally, we stipulated in the Booking Conditions that Express Deal Rental cars are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-changeable, even if the reservation is unused. Regrettably, the unused days remain non-refundable.

Booked a car rental through Priceline for $378 with ***** by ********, and received a reservation confirmation. Upon arrival, ******** did not have the reserved car type. I called Priceline, and a Priceline supervisor confirmed my reservation was valid. ******** staff agreed to honor the reservation but could not bypass their computer system to assign a different car without creating a new invoice. Priceline assured me that I would not have to pay the price on the new invoice, as I had already paid for my reservation. ******** staff confirmed to Priceline that the new invoice was only for assigning a car and would not require additional payment.
On December 25, 2024, I followed Priceline's instructions and forwarded the new invoice to them for correction of the unauthorized charge. However, ******** still charged me $1,703.79, which was not agreed to & significantly higher than the agreed $378. I disputed the charge with ******** *******, but it was denied as ******** insisted the amount was owed. Despite multiple emails to Priceline over 17 weeks, I received no resolution. Priceline failed to deliver the agreed product and has not addressed the unauthorized charge by a vendor they have brokered.
I am not responsible for the $1,703.79 charge by ******** and am requesting a refund for both ********'s unauthorized charge and Priceline's failure to deliver the booked service. Additionally, I wish to report Priceline for the illegal practice of bait and switch.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I have been waiting for your response since December 25, 2024. It is completely unacceptable that, after more than three months, there is still no resolution.
Regardless of *****'s decision on refund, my contract is with Priceline, and you are ultimately responsible for failing to deliver the service as promised. In addition to the refund for the unauthorized charge made by ***** by ********, I am requesting a full refund of the $378.05 charged by Priceline. You have not only failed to provide the agreed-upon service but have also repeatedly ignored my efforts to seek help, leaving me to resolve the issue on my own through ******** *******. To date, I still have no resolution on the extra $1723.74 charged to my card.

I am writing to address an issue regarding my recent car rental experience.
I reserved and prepaid a Full-size SUV with *** **** * *** through Priceline .
However, upon arrival at the airport (*** ******t), *** **** * *** was out of vehicles, including the Full-size SUV I had reserved.
I contacted Priceline's customer service, and I was instructed to rent the same type of vehicle-a Full-size SUV-from a different rental company and seek reimbursement.
I proceeded to rent a vehicle from ****, where I was presented with a few pricing options.
The agent at **** informed me that the cheapest way to rent a Full-size SUV was through a particular arrangement, which I assumed was through a "Choice Upgrade" from a base price.
At that time, I did not know what the "Choice Upgrade" entailed, but I was told this was the most affordable way to secure a Full-size SUV. Their documentation states: "With the 'Choice Upgrade', you will receive a more premium vehicle for a nominal fee."
Given that the "Choice Upgrade" was essential to securing a Full-size SUV, which matches the type of vehicle I reserved through Priceline, I believe the cost associated with this should be considered part of the necessary rental expense. Therefore, I am requesting reimbursement for the difference between the amount I paid to **** ($1,351.26) and the amount I paid to Priceline ($625.48), which totals $725.78.
After I uploaded the receipt to Priceline from ****, I received an email suggested reimbursement of $25.78 which is not accurate, as it does not account for the "Choice Upgrade" that was essential to fulfilling the original booking request.Business Response

Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
