      I booked a trip on Priceline on 2/16/23 and it included a car rental with ****** for travel dates of March 24th through April 1st. I had never heard of this car rental company before and unfortunately there weren't any reviews provided on Priceline's website. After booking our trip, I read some reviews and they were all negative. These reviews mentioned charging higher prices when picking up the car and mechanical issues with the rental. All reviews were horrible. I called Priceline to ask about changing the car rental to a different company and they said it wasn't refundable and no changes could be made. I spoke with a customer service representative and a supervisor who both refused to do anything. I've never had a concern previously about renting a car but this company doesn't sound reputable. My request was simple to change the reservation to a different car rental company and make an exception. I'm not sure why Priceline has this car rental company on their website since they have numerous complaints and appear to be not reputable. It's disappointing that Priceline isn't willing to make this right. Instead now I either need to worry about the awful experience with the upcoming car rental or just lose the money and book with a different car rental company. I'm hoping that the BBB can help. This is not the experience I want to have on my vacation. Priceline never assured me on either of the calls that this would not be my experience with ******.

      I booked a 2 night stay through Priceline from 2/19/23 to 2/21/23 at ******* ***** ********. During the booking process the webpage indicated free cancelation until 11:59 pm on Feb. 18, 2023, but once I hit confirm booking and received my confirmation it changed to cancellation must be made 3 days in advance. I immediately called Priceline, they referred me to ***********, both companies refused to rectify their error. This is a classic bait and switch. I'm not planning on cancelling but I'm extremely upset about the shady business practice of this company and want it fixed. I have a screenshot of the booking page and my itinerary after booking for comparison.

      I am rejecting this response because: I booked through Priceline, there was no indication that it was anything other than a Priceline booking. When I called Priceline initially they directed me to ***********, I contacted *********** immediately and they told me there was nothing they could do and directed me back to Priceline.  These two parties are just pointing the finger at each other and neither wants to actually fix the issue. Terrible and shady business practices.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      They are back tracking and trying to play word games. I called both Priceline and *********** and neither stated that I was entitled to "flexible cancelation" they simply told me it was too late to cancel. Please explain what flexible cancelation means and why no one at either company was aware that I had that option. I know the answer, the flexible cancelation language is a scam designed to get people to book and then change the terms of the agreement after booking is completed.

      I was told on 2/1/23 when I booked that I could cancel on or before 2/12/23 at 11:59 P.M. When I got email it said cancel by 1/31/2, which is the day before I even called. He told me, I am so sorry I will fix this for you. I told him I would not hang up until I got the email. He transferred me and hung up. Wednesday 2/1 call to rectify and was told the phone call would be reviewed. Friday 2/3 12:15 p.m. I call and speak with a representative who tells me the phone call has been reviewed and someone would contact me on Saturday. Monday 2/6 11:50 A.M (26 minutes) speak to a representative he said he would make sure someone would get in touch with me same day. He was filling out a form and "wasn’t sure why I was lied to". I told him I will not be charged for the teams mistake you need to rectify it. He said he was escalating the form. Wednesday 2/8 2:35 p.m. (41 minutes) I have now spent over a week, trying to get in touch with a supervisor and being treated with little respect. I have been told lie after lie. I am being told my phone call is being reviewed and I never hear back. Christopher tells me he is making detailed notes and I CAN cancel on or before 2/12/23 with no fee or worries. Case # is ******** Christopher -said he was sending me an email, never got it. Sunday 2/12/23 10:00 P.M. call to cancel reservation and it says no refund available which is NOT what your rep told me on the phone and I KNOW is in the notes. Monday 2/13/23 8:00 A.M. (10 minutes) after waiting on your automated line for 5 minutes I get through to someone who says there are no notes from Christopher your supervisor, then hangs up the phone on me after asking for my case # ******** Monday 2/13 8:12 AM (34 minutes) call a customer service rep. Kadisha had me wait on the line while she checked with the hotel about cancellation. I told her to look in then notes. She said that you processes the cancellation. No update had to call again to day been on the phone for 25 minutes currently.

      Hello: I was trying to take a trip to a small town in ******** to see some family, and in particular to see my nephew who works in the Middle-east as a military government contractor and I haven't seen him since 2018. He had to change his plans at the last minute and I had already paid for everything! So I am in a situation where I need to change my dates, I absolutely DO NOT WANT A REFUND. Priceline would not help me at all. I totally understand not being refunded, but to have a policy where you won't even allow a customer to change dates, in my opinion is a horrible way to treat a customer. As of now I am losing $1027.16 and I can't even go on the trip!!! Under Important Information on my flight itinerary changes to a reservation are very vague. Thank You

      Dear ***** ******,


      Thank you for contacting us regarding your reservation with Trip Number *********18 / *********17. We are writing in response to your Better Business Bureau.

      We apologize for the inconvenience. We understand that you would like to change your booking.

      We see that they tagged your ticket as a No-Show.

      We checked the options for changing your flight however, the refund or change option was not granted. This is consistent with the booking, and terms and conditions presented to you at the time of booking. Since this reservation is prepaid and

      controlled by the airlines, we have no control over the policy of your ticket.

      While We are contacting ****** ********** regarding your rental booking and if a refund can be granted. Regarding your hotel booking, the hotel property advised us that since you did not show up at the hotel on February 16, they are tagging your

      first night as a no-show.

      I will be consulting an attorney to see if I can take legal action against you; and if I can I definitely will. I just can't believe an American business is being allowed to treat an American consumer in this manner; simply ridiculous!!!!!!!

      Dear ***** ******,


      Thank you for contacting us regarding your reservation.

      We're sorry for the inconvenience.

      We revisited your concern to ensure we did not miss anything; This particular reservation you booked features a deeply discounted rate that does not allow refunds, and an exception cannot be granted. This is consistent with the

      booking conditions and terms and conditions presented to you at the time of booking. Since this reservation is prepaid and controlled by the airlines, we have no control over your ticket policy.

      We can provide nothing more and add to what has already been stated in our previous correspondence.

      While we can get authorization to refund your rental portion. The rental portion of your booking is 292.97 USD. Please let us know if you agree to proceed with the cancelation.

      We sincerely apologize for not providing you with a more favorable resolution.

      On May 1, 2022 I charged my **** **** thru a Priceline offer of 6% Cashback on a ******* *** ***** $570.15. The Priceline Offer # is ******. On August 8, 2022 I received the $27.72 Credit of 6% from Priceline.

      On May 1, 2022 Priceline also Offered 6% Cashback if I charged a rental car with *** *********** I also accepted the Priceline Offer# ****** thru the same webpage offer number. I charged my **** $239.63 for the Priceline 6% cashback offer on the rental car also. The car rental receipt notes "Priceline trip #:**************" for the Car Rental.

      I never received the 6% Cashback from Priceline on the car rental offer. On November 24, 2022 I questioned Priceline about the 6% Offer Cash Rebate they were suppose to give me on the car rental offer. Priceline Angela R***** was looking into it. 52 days later I sent Priceline Angela R***** an e-mail on January 20, 2023. Priceline responded that the Priceline Offer was a ********** **** offer.
      I perused the matter with **********. Mercedes at ********** today confirmed and said it was a Priceline Offer. Priceline had credited my the 6% on August 8 for the Hotel Rental Offer, but had failed to credit me the 6% on the Car Rental Offer on the same day May 1 which was also purchased thru Priceline.

      The receipt for the car has a lot of personal information but notes "Priceline trip #:**************" for the Car Rental. If need I can sanitize the card number and scan it to BBB.

      Per My Charge Statement:
      "Price line Fox Rent a car ###-###-#### CT $239.63."
      The phone number above next to the Priceline Charge if called states "Hi thanks for calling Priceline".
      It appears Priceline is trying to "pass the buck" so to speak, give me the "run-around" and cheat me of the 6% Cash Rebate due on the Car Rental of May 1, 2022 on the Priceline purchase. All of the evidence points to Priceline failing on it's honoring it's 6% Car Rental Offer.

Our records show that our EC Team has addressed your concern and informed you that the 6% cash back is ******* ***** promo. The document you sent indicates the following information.

      "if you made a Qualifying Offer Purchase using the offer link and an eligible ******* *** credit card, you would see your statement credit within three billing cycles. Read the complete ******* *** Offers terms and conditions." 

      Hence the 6% Cashback is ******* ***** promo. Kindly contact ******* *** to check the status of your credit.

      Someone hacked into my Priceline account. They used my account and on file credit card information to book a hotel room in ****** under a name that is not mine. I received an email confirmation (again for a reservation that I did not personally make) and immediately called my bank to report fraud. I have tried speaking with several customer "care" representatives from Priceline but they are unwilling to cancel the fraudulent reservation. They say they cannot cancel or reverse charges because "someone" accepted and confirmed the reservation. That someone WAS NOT ME. Why would I book a one night hotel stay in ****** under the name **** ****** when I do not know that name and am in **********? I have since also canceled my Priceline account and filed a claim to dispute charges with my credit union.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: 
      I am not the person who "accepted" this reservation. Someone named **** ****** (who I DO NOT KNOW) hacked my Priceline account and used the credit card on file. This person, who is obviously not ***** ******, stole information to book a room for herself and Priceline let it happen. I certainly would not have booked a one night hotel stay for someone I do not know. Why else would I have canceled my credit card and reported it to Priceline AND the hotel as soon as I got a notification in my calendar? I had no knowledge of this booking until AFTER the thief named **** ****** completed this transaction. I have used Priceline several times in previous years, NOT ONCE have I ever used it to book anything for anyone but myself. If this is how Priceline treats actual loyal customers, by letting people steal from them, I am glad to have canceled my account and will never use another service like this again. It's obviously too easy for people to hack, steal, and get away with it. I'm so disappointed in Priceline for allowing someone to use my information under a differnt name than mine, that is stealing and Priceline are just as guilty as **** ******, whoever she is.

      I am rejecting this response because: that is not true. I called the hotel twice to try and resolve this. They said they had not received any calls or requests from Priceline. How is it acceptable for someone to hack an online account and book a hotel for someone else's name? Don't you need to show proof of I.D. when checking into a hotel? Shouldn't  the name on the card match the name under a booking? Your customer "service" model is truly disgusting.

      I booked a simple hotel reservation on Priceline.com on February 8, 2023, for one night on February 14-15, 2023. The Priceline "trip number" is 2************7. This was a prepaid hotel booking, and indeed Priceline charged my credit card $178.42 on February 8. When I arrived at the hotel (at 2AM after a delayed flight), the hotel reception could not verify that the booking was prepaid by Priceline. I realized this when they asked me to authorize a credit card for the approximate amount of the room rate. I showed the hotel reception my Priceline receipt, and the receptionist indicated he understood. Again, he asked me to authorize another card, this time for 1 NOK (about $0.10) so that there is a card on file.

      The next day after checking out, the hotel charged me twice more (around $172 each transaction). Once on each of the credit cards. After I realized this, I requested help from Priceline via chat, and it took about an hour for them to contact the hotel and initiate refunds.

      I am dissatisfied with the booking service provided by Priceline. The whole point of a prepaid stay is to avoid additional transactions with the hotel, especially while I'm abroad. Instead, it took over an hour and a a day of worrying to (hopefully) get my money back. While I understand Priceline's stance that they think it's a mistake made by the hotel, I did not conduct a transaction with the hotel -- I booked on Priceline.com, and Priceline who I conducted business with. I am asking Priceline to issue a 50% refund of my prepaid rate to compensate me for the time and energy spent fixing this issue. As an alternative, I am willing to accept a future travel credit for 100% of the original booking ($178).

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The business did not actually seem to fully read my complaint. Please read again and respond appropriately.

      In addition to the previous requests, I am now asking for a refund of $1.77 due to one of refunds not matching the original charge.

      Dear ******** ****,

      We received your rejection.

      Please note that during the booking process, we indicated that a credit card is required at check-in for any hotel fees or security deposit authorization. We apologize that they initially mistakenly charged your credit card for the room and tax. According to the hotel, they have refunded the same amount that they charged your card. For further questions regarding their transaction, you may reach out to them directly.

      Thank you for your time.

      Last week Priceline sent an Email stating it will be handled in 5 business days and it’s way past 5 business days. Besides this issue is 9 weeks old and you still say the same thing to us , not right and not acceptable..

       

      see the attachment and for 350$ your organization has tormented me for 3 months for no fault of mine. You need 3 months to clarify that I didn’t use the car when they never had the car I booked

      I booked a flight online through Priceline.com. They advertised that would book a flight that would depart from *** ***** ** after 11:00 AM the day of the booking and I would arrive the same Day to my final destination in ****** *******. However, after I submitted the payment the confirmation page showed I was booked on an 8:41 AM flight, which was before 11 AM (NOT after 11 AM). I attempted to contact Priceline, but their representatives did not offer any resolutions and they even hung up the phone on me. I was unable to get to the airport by 08:41 AM and ended up paying $295 extra to have an exchange done for another flight that left San Francisco, CA that same day. I should not have to pay for another flight when this company clearly lied to their customers and refuse to help them.
      This company is taking advantage of people and someone should investigate and address their business practice.
      Please see the attached documents. I took several screenshots while I was scheduling my flight. The company should honor the offers they extend to their customers. As you can see on those screenshot. the company clearly stated in RED print the time of departure would be after 11 AM the day the reservation was being booked.
      I could have booked plenty other flights leaving after 11:00 AM and pay less than what it cost me to fly back home to ****** ******* last night.

      Priceline.com charged my bank 25 times this evening. This is not okay in anyway possible. It’s past 11:30pm so no one available at bank. I will be reporting this first thing in the morning. Appalling, that this could be allowed.

      Our system shows that the booking was attempted several times, and only one reservation go through. For rejected bookings, the credit card has not been charged. The authorization or pending transaction obtained should have fallen off within the billing cycle.
