Actually the score would be a Minus -10. We booked flights, hotel, and car rental through Priceline for 9/7/19 - 9/13/19. When we booked the only return flight was listed as 6:12 AM on American Airlines from Rapid City SD to Greenville SC. With the distance from airport from hotel the drive to airport is over an hour and I am disabled so mornings are usually very bad for me. I called in to get a later flight still on America Airlines that leaves Rapid City at 1:30 PM same day, The customer service representative Estella was extremely rude would not stop talking to hear why we need to change time for flight. She kept speaking in Spanish and actually cussed me and hung up; I lived in Houston TX for 8 years and know Spanish very well.. My husband also heard her as I had the call on speaker phone and told me to cancel the entire trip and rebook with another agency. Your representative told me before she hung up on me there would be full charges if we cancelled and she cursed me in Spanish. I was really looking forward to this trip as I grew up in Rapid City and have not been home for almost 40 years. This has me extremely upset and has taken all the fun away from what should have been a wonderful trip. If she is an example of your company I hate to think how we will be treated by the airlines, hotel and car rental companies. Apparently Priceline is a bad place to work with no management in your customer services as I asked to speak to a manager and was ignored. We will never book again with Priceline due to the lack of professionalism, rudeness and vulgarity. What a real shame on you. Patricia & Terry Chapman

Trip # 167-390-144-28 . I was unable to travel due to eldercare hospitalization and provided proof to GlennFogel's office. Priceline has not responded to my 6/619 letter and refuses to grant me a credit or a refund. This is un-American and not good customer service.

I have booked rent A car online from the Price line web site for the economy car @$20 per day at Philadelphia for 4 days which is equal to $80/- whereas they charged $150.26 on inquiry through they toll-free number 1 (877) 477-5807 there representatives keep saying that Taxes & fees amounting to $70.26 which is equal to 87.25%. They keep on saying over the phone that they do not have break-up for the Taxes & Fees and I started explaining to them that nowhere in the world there could be a tax 87.25%.
I request the audit department need to look into this and refund the if the excess was charged if not system should be in a position to give breakup for every penny being charged.
Besides this, the representatives over the phone were not able to clarify any points

If I could chose 0 I would. I purchased a car rental and cancelled it the next day. Without knowing it I signed an agreement that it was non refundable I filed a complaint with discover card. I lost. Your greedy son's couldn't refund d 208. I WILL NEVER EVER DEAL WITH A COMPANY AS YOURS and I will let people on every social media NOT TO TRUST YOUR COMPANY to you you would never miss 208. To me it's a big hit. pay gas bill or not

We were suppose to have had a 2 hr layover and it turned into a 8 hr layover,to almost not getting a flight at all.

I was misinformed about the distance of the car rental agency from the airport. I was under the incorrect impression that I would be at my rental car within 30 minutes of getting off the plane with carry on luggage. There was going to be a 90 minute window from when the car was picked up and when it was returned. Consequently, I was charged for an extra day. The car rental was so far away, that it took 90 minutes from deplaning to pick up the car and we had to allow an additional 90 minutes to get to the airport when returning the car. After waiting for 1 hour on hold to speak with someone from Priceline, I learned that there was nothing that they could do to compensate me for the additional day. I purchased collision damage insurance when I rented the auto. When I arrived at the Avis desk, I learned that I did not have Avis coverage and that if anything happened to the auto that I had to contact Priceline. So, after speaking with three Priceline representatives and waiting for extended lengths of time, I learned that I would have to wait the same 60" each time I contacted them if there was an issue. I will never use Priceline again and I will share this unpleasant experience with anyone I can. I even contacted a supervisor and told them the refund of one day would satisfy me to no avail. Done with you Priceline, you do not deserve one star.

I made a reservation via the "Book by phone". I was told 4x (Yes, I had the lady over the phone repeat the description of the room that I was reserving. I also explained to her the image of the room and she stated she "Sees it". I then continued to have her repeat the description. The Main point of amenities I had her explain 4x is the "Hotub in room". Again as a reservation and an important event. I needed a hottub. This is link of the hotel I spoke of on the phone...(Note the images. "Bathtub" in room) I also made sure that the SAME EXACT WORDING of the title was the same in the images. https://www.priceline.com/relax/at/5119504/rooms/1?pclnId=562DECD1418EFC...
After confirming the hottub both "in the room" and onsite. I continued to purchase. I was told and address (In which I agreed because it WAS correct). Once the day came and I went to the location of where I purchased. I was then told "Wrong americainn". So, Since I was dropped off. I had to pay a 25.00 cab ride to the one I was apparently wrongfully placed. Once I got to the 2nd one...No hottub....anywhere on site let alone a room that had a "jettub" in room. So, I was COMPLETELY lied to. There is NO miscommunications. in fact I was very clear and actually made the lady repeat herself. I contacted priceline. There is an active investigation but since I want to come at this in all angles so it does not get overlooked. Since my sister was in the room and also heard the lady on speakerphone of the conversations. I am confident of my allegations and hope I do get compensated. Not only for the cab ride but I also did not have the best experience at the location I was put that I paid for.

I am reporting a fraudulent posting on your website. I made a nonrefundable reservation #18238651289 yesterday. The Priceline site specifically said I was booking a room with 2 king beds. It did not say anything about it not being guaranteed. I booked the room for 2 nights for a total of $239.98 and the rest of my party booked 4 rooms that were refundable with 2 double beds for $94 each with a total of $226.96 each. When I called the hotel, I was told that a 2 king room did not even exist and that I would have 2 doubles. Now I am paying $13.02 more than the other 4 people in my group for the same room. How can you advertise a room that does not even exist, and now you will not refund my $13.02? This is not good business practice, and I will do everything I can to get my $13.02 refunded. Is this scam worth it to your company for $13.02? I want to know who I can talk to about this who can get my money refunded. It is not about the money, it is about the principle. I had no idea something like this could happen with Priceline. I thought it was a reputable company. This room was still being advertised on your site last night, so I am wondering how many other people are being scammed? I have a screen shot of the website and my reservation.

I rented a car for four days and I returned it in two days and they charge me 87.50 so, I called customer service and spoke with them about a refund of half of my money but she told me the agreement that I have doesn’t allow me to get a refund. I spoke with a manager Haley and told me the same thing. I was in a hurry to get a rental and didn’t take the time to read the last page of the agreement. I don’t think this is right I deserve the amount for the days not used refunded.

My mother booked a flight from BDL to MSN for 6/12 a few days ago. Today we received news that her father was in critical care in Madison and we needed to come say goodbye right away. I spent close to 5 hours going back and forth between Priceline customer service and United airlines about changing the date of the previously purchased ticket to either 6/1 or 6/2. I got a flat out no and that it would be $200 to cancel it. It is completely unfair, but I just wanted to get out flight booked right away to see my grandfather before he passed away. So, I tried to book flights over the phone and was rudely told they could not help and that I needed to go to Priceline.com. Again, I brushed it off because I am now panicking to get a flight right away. I then tried to buy tickets from Priceline for $262 per person one way, the cheapest price I could find anywhere. It would have me enter it all of my passenger and credit card information, told it was booked, then immediately redirected and said I needed to find another flight. This went on for about an hour of me choosing new flights and trying all of my cards and my mother's, just in case something was wrong with the payment. I then proceeded to call the customer service line for the 4th time and was told my credit card had restrictions that were not approving the purchase. Both me and my mother called all of our card companies and were told they had absolutely no restrictions and that the purchase should go through. For the 5th time I called customer service and they flat out told me either it was my card or I should just purchase tickets from another site and that they could not help me. I communicated with a few people and all were very callous about the situation. I don't want to use another site because the tickets would be close to $2,000 roundtrip for 2 people. I have always used Priceline for booking all of my flights, but after the way I was treated today, I don't believe I will ever be using Priceline again. I am still unfortunately trying to find a way to get to Madison by 6/2 before my grandfather is gone.

Purchased a ticket for a traveler going on a group trip with us yesterday off Kayak. It took me to Priceline. I purchased ticket 17642232340 for Sarah Perry. She won the trip from us. She was going to change the date of departure to leave a few weeks earlier than we are leaving to spend time with a friend. She finds out you won't let her PAY a change fee to move departure date sooner. Crazy. I called and got no where with anyone. We purchase about 175 tickets per year for our travelers. I will NEVER use priceline again.

I booked a flight and didn’t realize the flex day changed the date of my booking, I called Priceline I talked to 5 different people and no one would help. I talk to a supervisor who was very rude named Gray he told me he was in the Philippines he told me that I should’ve paid attention to the dates I selected and I wouldn’t have this problem I asked him for the corporate number to complain he told me they did not have a corporate number or email but if I wanted to write and complain I could but it would take a while for someone to respond I then hung up and he called me back which on my caller ID it says that he was in New York not the Philippines and I felt like he was taunting me because he was saying oh do you still want to write a letter I want to give you The complaint address I hung up again and he called my phone back a second time this is horrible customer service I’ve booked through you guys plenty of times and you guys do not value your customers

Here's the 1st big kicker in all of this, I overheard Priceline (PL) and Air France's (AF) (Katie) conversation. AF stated it would cost me $181.30 (different amount from the previous discussion) to change my previous ticket or if PL does it I would pay $131.30 ( total difference $50.00). PL says, "We charge $30 changing fee." PL said what is cost-effective for PL? AF is better for the customer to go thru PL because we are charging more, but AF would be more than happy to take care of the situation. PL said, "no, we will take care of it on our end." 2nd big kicker, PL tells me it would cost me $192 to change everything. How did an additional $60.70 get factored in? (different amount in their conversation as I was listening in $131.30 from $192). When I asked him to break everything down for me, it was changing the ticket, $50 for something, then $35 for our fees. I said, "According to your website it states $30.00." PL says, "Oh yes, it's $30.00." I said, "How are you going to add more money when it would cost me $181.30 to change everything with Air France?" PL says, "You were listening on the call?" I said, "No you put me on the call when you were talking with Air France." After that, I called Air France, and the reservationist changed my flight reservation for $181.30 instead of $189. Therefore; I saved $10.70 without using your service. I stated to PL, "Are you going to price match this when I'm traveling overseas?" He said, "No."

I had contacted what I thought was the Sheraton at Universal Studios. Reservation #R137688860...

The reservation person stated they were from Sheraton. Sent a email that stated reservation desk about Sheraton. Never once did anything state priceline. When I went to change my reservation at Sheraton they stated I couldn't because of priceline. They have been getting many compliants from clients about this.

Please contact me asap!
This company is a fraud!!!

Hi there,

I was looking to book a hotel room for March 7, 2019 in Holbrook AZ, United States, when a priceline pop up ad shows up. I followed the link, provided all the info (including my credit card info), but before I clicked the confirmation button to make the reservation I realized that I have a Priceline account. So closed the web browser, assuming that the reservation was not finished.

I'd never received any email or other kind of notice that I had the hotel reserved, until I saw a charge of CAN$105.43 after the supposed check-in date of March 7, 2019. The following (also attached is a photo copy) was the confirmation email I received two week after the supposed check-in date. I'm not happy for the charge to my credit card for the hotel that I didn't check in because I didn't receive any conformation prior to the check-in date. I called the priceline help but they declined to refund me.

Good Evening,

This has been the most frustrating, tiring, stressful, and know because I really don't want to write this letter per my husband I am giving up. You see I am a customer service representative and try never to let my customers feel the way I am feeling at this time. I have never told my customers they are lying I apologize for inconveniences and see how I can help to rectify situations. I look for the one and done if possible in all situations and if I say I will call someone back I call them back. So here is my story: My daughter plays club volleyball and we will be in Reno NV from 04/13- 04/15/19. Wednesday 04/10/19 I went looking for a hotel room for the weekend. I found a hotel room for $75 for the dates I needed or so I thought, at the Harrahs. I was so excited about getting this room I booked it right away and didn't purchase the hotel insurance, my mistake. I decided due to my paranoid nature to verify my reservation and noticed that the dates and price had changed. The dates were now showing from 04/15- 04/16/19 and payment of $51.97 itinerary # 174-544-623-19. I decided to contact your customer service and see if there was anything they could do to assist me with this mistake.

1st call 04/10/19 called and waited for representative about 5 minutes and spoke w/gentleman who first didn't apologize for the issue that occurred but then went onto tell me that the scenario he just listened to didn't happen. He did, however, offer to contact Harrahs and see if they would allow a change in reservation dates. I was on hold for about 10- 15 minutes and he came back stating that no one picked up the phone and he would contact them tomorrow and call me back. I asked him several times how long should I allow for a callback. He eventually advised allowing 24 hours.

2nd call 04/11/19 called and waited for representative about 35- 40 minutes. I explained to the gentleman that the reservation right now is showing 04/15- 04/16/19 but that I am trying to get that updated to a reservation date of 04/13- 04/15/19. Representative placed me on about a 15- 20-minute hold again to contact Harrahs. Once back on phone with me, representative advised that they did agree to the date change from 04/15- 04/16/19 to 04/13- 04/14/19. I explained to the gentleman again that I needed the reservation from 04/13- 04/15/19. He became upset and told me that I had never stated the dates from 04/13- 04/15/19. I told the guy that's fine we will leave it as is and I will go ahead and do a different reservation for the 04/14- 04/15/19. Your representative advised he would be faxing the update request to Harrahs and any additional questions about my reservation I was to contact Harrahs directly.

Still, on 04/11/19, I called Harrahs about 2-3 minutes later spoke with a representative who explained that they are still showing the reservation date as 04/15/19 and to contact Priceline with any questions.

Still, 04/11/19, I decided to contact customer service through the Priceline chat. I ask a representative if he can confirm for me that a fax was sent to Harrahs with a change in reservation date from 04/15- 04/16/19 to 04/13- 04/14/19 and was there anything he could email me in writing like a copy of the fax. Representative advised that there was nothing he could email me in regards to the confirmation of update on reservation dates. He did advise that i was faxed that day and I did ask the representative multiple times to actually confirm the new date of reservation. After several different requests, he did type out that the new reservation date for itinerary 174-544-623-19 was 04/13/19. At the end of the conversation, I did put in a request to have the chat emailed to me at tko_girl02@yahoo.com which was never received.

My husband did advise me that I should contact Harrahs again to confirm the new reservation date. Due to my blind, dumb, naive, believe that people in customer service will do what they say I didn't make a call to Harrahs until today 04/12/19.

04/12/19 phone call to Harrahs to confirm my reservation for tomorrow 04/13/19 at 5 pm pst, while headed to my dads to see him before we go to Reno on Saturday. Apparently, at this point, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. Remember my daughter has volleyball games starting at 3 pm on Saturday roughly about 2- 3 hrs away from where we live. Harrahs tells me that our reservation has been updated to today 04/12/19. I have no need for a reservation for today because we are headed up there tomorrow. So know not only have I lost money but know after 5 or more hours of playing volleyball tomorrow I will have to make her drive 3 hours home to get maybe 4 hours of sleep and drive back and expect her to be able to play at her best the next day.

I have used your services off and on since 2005 and when I would contact customer service in the past they were extremely helpful. I feel that your customer service reps you have at this time could use some training in empathy because I have never treated my customers the way I was treated today.

They booked me in hotel that said it had bar and restaurant, it didn't poolside room, no water in pool, free breakfast, sorry no local TV sorry no, they offered 5 percent off next visit. Time for a class action, offering false services

On March 15 we ended up needing a last minute hotel in the Dallas, TX area and I looked on the Priceline app to find one. The closest three star hotel was the Executive Inn at 12670 E. Northwest Hwy in Dallas so I booked a room. The Priceline app said this was comparable to a Fairfield which was a little farther away. I should have known something was wrong when the reception desk was behind a glass wall. After checking in we went to our room and had to pass what appeared to be two pimps in the parking lot who were keeping watch. Upon entering the room we were greeted by multiple roaches who did not even run away at the light coming on. Priceline, you need to do better at rating hotels evenly, there is no way this was a three star hotel.

No, it is 15% + $36.96

Priceline would only refund me $13.03....not $49.99

In a chat, they state:
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. The prices constantly changing including the taxes and fees. We do not have control to it. Priceline is a seller of a product; however, the hotel changes their inventory and price.

I was charged incorrectly $58.07 for a hotel stay on 3/11/19 and as of today, 3/27/19, they have not issued a refund to my bank account. This length of time for a refund is unacceptable.

20

The person himself was wonderful; however, the results of the situation was not. My flight was changed from 6am arriving at 1030am to leaving at 11am arrivng at 530pm. This is unacceptable. If I wanted to arrive that late I would have booked it that way. I need to arrive by 2pm for the plans have I scheduled. I was told there was nothing that could be done. I will never book with price-line and will never recommend them to anyone either. Shady bait and switch.

I called Delta Airlines and was told that Priceline had to make the change since I purchased with them. I called Priceline and was told the opposite. This is obviously a bait and switch. I booked a flight with the time that would allow me to be there for the plans I had scheduled.Now, this is ruined by this late departure and arrival.

The customer service person could only say sorry. Well sorry doesn't give me the money back that I will lose for arriving so late and missing the plans I have scheduled around my original flight.

I was offered no reason for the change and no other options for a early departure. Poor customer service. I will never use Priceline or recommend the service. I should have done better research before booking.

No a happy customer!

on 2/3/2019 I shopped in the lane cove store.. the day before I had a lovely girl attend to me ,couldn't have been more helpful. But on 2nd/3 I was served by a surly Asian chemist ( never seen before) and when I went to "checkout" the girl "serving" was extremely unfriendly and lazy. when I said both staff members today were unfriendly she didn't answer me, just smirked sand sat back on her stool! she the said " next " to woman behind me! I asked another staff member her name, was told it was Alissa ?spelling. this was at 3pm. I hope you look into this because I don't think she should even have a job . her arrogance wouldn't be tolerated in any other store! thank you Carole de freitas.

I attempted to book a hotel room through Priceline. It was rejected as it said the rooms were no longer available. So I tried to book a different room. To my surprise it told me declined because I was low on funds. So I went to my bank account and Priceline had charged me for the 1st room I tried book. I called them and the robot customer service person kept repeating it was just an authorization. Well if I cant use my money...its not an authorization...its a charge. So I called my bank. They cant reverse a pending transaction but they informed me that the vendor can. I called back and I keep getting the same explanation. It will fall off in 7-10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me understand this correctly...you are saying an authorization for a room I couldnt book will be on my bank account for a week? Why...who determines how long you hold my money hostage and why does your system preauthorize? Shouldnt it be a sale and thats all? Why a pre authorization when you force people into a nonrefundable sale anyway? Im still battling this and Priceline needs to change or train reps to remove these charges.

On February 8, 2019 we checked in and found out my daughter’s old old passport containing India Visa missing or displaced or left at Los Angeles Emirates Chick in Counter. Dubai Emirates Airlines Check In refused to issue boarding pass to my daughter. They said we cannot traveled to India. We pleaded with the Check In personnel, even approached the Supervisor/Manager (Mr. “ Mo” Hassan) Who advised us to apply for visa electronically which may take 48 hours. Once visa is issued, then we can proceed with journey without cancellation including return journey back from Delhi to Los Angeles by Emirates Airlines He suggested that we go to Emirates Ticketing office to get confirmed . Woman at Dubai Emirates Airlines Ticketing Office wearing Arab headgear dismissed and ignored very rudely our Visa situation. She canceled the flight journey. She said that ticket has to be reissued with penalties plus difference in price for both us. We even pleaded with their Superior /Manager but we were dismissed with same rudeness.

We applied for my daughter Indian Visa on line on emergency situation basis . It took two days to receive via by Internet, and then we left for Delhi, India. We have to stay two extra days in Dubai at Oribis hotel and booked flight to Delhi from Dubai by different airlines (Jet airway), paying $ 404.00. The whole affair resulted in high stress, extra high expenses (Visa, Hotel, taxi and Food), and disruption of journey, important for my business time.

On February 16, 2019, we came to Delhi Emirates Airlines Check In counter and found that our return flight reservation has been canceled. We explained the past situation to Dubai Emirates Airlines Check In Desk officials and explained and pleaded with Delhi Emirates Airlines Staff and even called Emirates head office in Dubai but it did not make any difference. They ( Delhi Emirates Airlines) told us to re-book our return journey . Ticket will be reissued with $600.00 penalty plus difference in price flight fare for each and also availability on February 20, 2019. This left us with no choice except to book our return flight with different available airlines. We booked our return journey with Aeroflot Airlines paying $1800.00 on the same day return.

The total extra and undue cost went up more than $3,000.00 . We kept receipts which can be presented

As you know that whole episode was stressful, unprofessional treatment by Emirates Airlines, disappointing and costly. I have never experienced such situation in my life . I have traveled a lot , been to nearly sixty countries ( though via American Airlines ) never received such treatment.

I would like to receive your answer and action of this complaint before I proceed litigation.

I reserved & purchased a non refundable rental car reservation on Feb. 5, 2019 from Priceline for $367. I even used a promo code and my membership status to get that rate.
On February 10, 2019, I received an offer from Expedia that my membership with them qualified me for a rate of $307., for the exact same rental. The Expedia rate allowed for changes and cancellation. It also allowed me to choose the rental car company.
I called Priceline on Feb. 10, 2019 to see if the would be willing to match the rates. I told Martin at Priceline that I realize that I can not cancel the reservation. I asked if they would match the rate. They said that they could not match the rate since too much time had passed since the reservation was made.
I asked if they could give me any incentive to continue to use Priceline in the future. They said 'No".
I asked to speak to a supervisor. Supervisor, AJ told me the exact same thing.
I am extremely disappointed.

20

If I could rate less than one, I would. Within 24 hours of book a flight I call to cancel as I came down military orders. I email a copy of my orders with my commander contact information and they had them on hold for over hour to process the cancelation. Then they said it will take them two to six weeks to refund, my money. WORST Travel service ever.

20

I work in Accounting with Clean Fuels National and have received a receipt from a technician I have questions about. The room was booked from 2/5/19 to 2/6/19 and total cost was $247.12. I contacted the hotel due to suspicious charges. The hotel only charged $157.44 for the stay. I need clarification on why there is a $89.68 cost of what the hotel was actually charging and what priceline is charging our company.

20

Made a reservation from Priceline for 332 USD. Found a better price directly from the same rental company, pick up the vehicle at the same time and place for 215 USD. Called customer service to request for a price adjustment. Priceline customer service tried to run me around, found all the trick to refuse the refund. They did not honor the Best Price Guarantee. False advertisement of Priceline and unethical work practice of customer service don't even deserve one star.

20

I received confirmation on my booking and discovered that part of a name on a ticket was incorrect. After an hour call to a service represenative, the name was changed and I was charged $162.00. This amount was more than the ticket. Fault for the error in booking was undeterminable. I am greatly distrubed in this situation. I will not use priceline.com in the future. There are many other companies looking for business. Priceline Trip Number 163-996-643-19.

I secured a room through Priceline. Money was taken from my account. I received a confirmation email with trip no. 158-855-014-38. I drove for several hours, picked up food and arrived at the hotel at approximately 7pm. Only to be told that my reservation was cancelled because the credit card presented by Priceline declined and now the hotel had no vacancies. I called Priceline and after being placed on hold for approximately 15 minutes was told by the representative that waited on me that my reservation would be cancelled and my money refunded. I asked where was I supposed to stay after driving for several hours??? I further stated that this bordered on fraud as I paid legitimate money for something I was assured I would be receiving but did not. I was then placed on hold for approximately 10 minutes only to be told again that the hotel had no vacancies. At this point I asked to speak to a Manager. After being placed on hold for approximately 20 minutes a Manager came to the phone for me to again explain what had happened. After being placed on hold for about 10 more minutes I was told that another hotel with vacancy had been located and that I would receive an $11 refund. After all this time, and being completely frustrated and disgusted with cold food I made the extra drive to the new hotel. I use Priceline to book hotels almost every week and would never have imagined that I would have such an experience.

I booked hotel with priceline in Oct. 2018 for December 24th and 25 in St. Augustine Beach. We were booked at Americas Best Value Inn for $ 150.00 per night. After check in we entered the room and was in the state of shock. The furnishings in the room were old and worn out. This was most definitely a $ 40.00 per night room. We immediately went to office and requested a full refund. We were told they would only refund one night. I called the Marriott Courtyard and booked two nights for $ 135.00 per night. Great modern clean room. I can't believe that the Americas Best Value Inn is even on Pricelines list of hotels
Do they ever check the condition of the listed properties?

20

I reserved a rental car for my wife in Dominican Republic for 2 weeks. When she arrived they had no cars available (over booked) and these Priceline guys told me that she would just have to get another car somewhere else.NICE. Do not make reservations with this unreliable booking agent or may not have a car or they will try the old Bait and switch move.(you can get a car but at 3 times the rate you were quoted)Their customer service doesn't have a clue what to do in this situation.Stay Away

20

I have been calling and emailing and nobody will get back to me.
I want to speak to a manager.

My name is Tess Cosgrove and tonight I have a complaint about misunderstanding from staff or gave me wrong details about hair products. I have blonde hair, I specifically said I want Brown I'm so over blonde, the staff got me a hair dye packet $20 and blue toner $23. I dyed my hair washed it, and all it did was dye the regrowth of my hair to light brown, almost orange and I'm very shattered paying 43$ that I was so confident about due to the customer service. As I used the product already, can I still get refunded?

20

I'm flying from Minnesota to Naples, FL for the month of January 2019; and need a rental car for the month from RSW airport. I keep looking for better monthly rates. On numerous occasions Priceline has posted several monthly car rentals through Advantage and EZ Rental for $70 less than what I've found elsewhere. When I've clicked on either of these through Priceline I get to the "Loading" screen, which just keeps spinning and never opens. I called Priceline's help line several times (and had my calls moved up to a manager), and explained my problem, asking them to complete my reservation request. They claim they don't have the ability to intercede in my reservation request.

Posting better car rental rates, but not having the ability to complete a reservation, makes trying to use Priceline a waste of time!

I called Priceline to dispute a charge of $200.00 that I wanted removed from my credit card. I had booked three (3) adults and two (2) children that were to depart from Louisville (SDF) on December 2, 2018 to San Juan (SJU) and return on 12/08/2018. I scheduled this back in August of this year to get the deal that I had received. This charge in concerning a flight that my now ex-husband was going to take with us. Since he was no longer able to come with us. I called to get a refund or transfer the ticket. I spoke to someone on Price on 10/03 was "stated that the ticket was non-transferable and non-refundable. There was absolutely nothing that they could help me with. I then notice the charge of $200.00 on my credit card on 10/07. I contacted Priceline on 10/07 to request that the $200.00 be credited back to my credit card. I was then transferred to your "Flight Specialist" who told me that the flight could not be cancelled and that a $200.00 charge was never may to my credit card. I was on the phone with Priceline for over 45 mintues and was told the only was I could look into getting my money back was to send a statement bill to an email address. I said that was unacceptable. Next thing I'm aware of is Priceline has chosen to go in and cancel my tickets. I then called my credit card company and disputed the $200.00 charge.

At no time did anyone at Priceline state that they were cancelling my flights. If anything I can understand my ex-husbands flight being cancelled by for Priceline to cancel my whole trip seems like it was done out of spite. I did not request this action to be taken. I called your customer service agent again and was treated with Curtness long with rudeness and told that their was no way they flights would not be rescheduled at the same price. How is this possible? When I told the agent that on my end the tickets are still showing good, she made the statement that they weren't and if I wanted ticket's I would have to book them at the higher rate. In no way would I cancel my family trip.

Not only has Priceline caused unneeded stress but the rudeness, and lack of customer service is just unacceptable. Priceline cancelled my flights without a call or email stating that this was going to happen. I have other individuals that are booked to depart the same time as my family and now they are put in an unnecessary bad position by your company as well. I'm not one to complain but this is unacceptable.

I would appreciate Priceline looking into this issue ASAP. I would like my original flights scheduled at the price I originally paid your agency. This was done on your end without cause and has been a nightmare.

Sincerely,

Kendra Durham

I have used Priceline for many years for all my out of town trips. This was the worst experience I have ever had with price line. I booked a room on Priceline for October 15 through the 17th. At the Super 8 by Wyndham Irving /DFW Apt/North. It was supposed to be a 21/2 star room. #107. The room was a no star room. I came in late on Monday night and was to tired to complain. The room had no mirror at all. In the bathroom where the mirror and bathroom counter was supposed to be was an old table with the towels stuck under the table. There were no towel racks. There was no place to lay your soap in the shower. The shower did not have sliding doors like it is supposed to. It only had one door and it was glued shut.Their was no toilet paper holder. The toilet paper was just put on the back of the commode. Their was no hairdryer or coffee maker. There was no closet. No place to hang your clothes. The place where the close rack and hangers go was not there. The next day I complained at the desk and told the woman working there about my complaints and that I deserved some kind of compensation for the awful shape the room was in. She said she would talk to the manager and get back to me. She never did. I had to go out to a store and get some medication. When I came back a man named Mike said that she had left for the day. He said he was a manager and I told him my complaints. He said he would look at the room and get back to me. Oh BTW the woman I first talked to moved me to #109 next to #107 It was Ok except it had no smoke alarm only wires hanging from the ceiling where the smoke alarm goes. I cam back from lunch to find out that Mike had left for the day and another man was there. I got him to look at the room. He said he would tell the Manager and they would get back to me. Of course this never happened!

Regarding the free breakfast: First of all I went in to eat breakfast and there was no De Café coffee. She said it was all gone and she would make some more, "Which never happened" The Orange Juice was just water. so I had the apple juice next to it. It was not real but made with some kind of concentrate. The eggs were powdered eggs and not hot only warm The sausage and bacon was not hot barely warm. The same with the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were hard and the gravy was very thick and not hot. These things are in Violation of the food laws. I could probably give more complaints but I feel I have given you enough. I feel I should be given a refund on my trip as this was just inexcusable. Also this was not a Super 8. It was indorsed by Super 8 but was privately owned. I do hope I receive an email back right away regarding my complaint. I also hope I never have to go through a nightmare like this again.

I was unable to board flight i got to the airline 45 minutes prior to departure. I was advised that I could not board 40 minutes prior,,I had no bags to check in. The airline probably gave my seat to someone prior to my check in. I was very disappointed that Priceline nor the Alaska airline was able to help me out making other travel arrangements. I was forced to purchase a new airline ticket with a different airline. I was traveling due to a family emergency and some assistance compassion would have been appreciated. I will no use Priceline or Alaska air again.

20

Was fine with the 112.??. used their so called special. let them pick..... Hmmm after I paid got am email and
the Hotel is charging me additional monies not mentioned before paying coming to 142.00 WHAT A RIP OFF PRICELINE, I WOULD HAVE PAID LESS BOOKING WITH THAT HOTEL WITHOUT PRICELINE!!!!!

20

I always bee happy with Priceline . For your benefit the QUALITY INN in Buffalo, N.Y. needs to be closed or condemned! My toilet and the shower did not work . Pricline needs to not recommend that place to know one and especially one of your faithful customers . David Pfeiffer

Husband booked a car rental. Due to work, he could not make the trip with us. I tried to add my name, they wouldn't let me. Tried to cancel, they wouldn't let me. Talked to Alamo they told me Priceline could. They won't.

I always use Priceline for my land vacation so I called Priceline to book my cruise. I selected August 3rd for my cruise date but was booked for August 10th. I informed the agent and was told there were no rooms left for 8/3. I went online and saw there were rooms available, called the agent back and was charged 100 to change my date. I was told it was the difference in the price. After researching I found that to be untrue. I showed proof that I selected 8/3 and and agent booked me for 8/10. Why was I charged 100.00 when it was NOT my error. I am extremely disappointed in the deception on pricing for my cruise just to cover up the error of the agent.I am a repeat Priceline customer and I feel insulted I was deceived. I would like my 100.00 back. I look forward to a response and will send this complaint to corporate.

Misuse and overcharges of my credit card:

1) I Made hotel reservation at 10:30 AM on wednesday 06/06/2018 priceline trip #192-961-652-74. Date of arrival 06/07/2018 for two days rate published $77/room. When I got my receipt later in the day my credit card was charged as follows: room rate changed to $77.96, Taxes & fees $29.00, Room Subtotal amount $155.92> Total amount charged on credit card >$184.92. As I was running around getting ready for the journey on 06/07/2018. I was outraged later in the day when I accessed the receipt. I immediately drafted email using the info with which my receipt was sent asking for reasons for the amount charged over what the price was. I wrote 3 emails but no reply. Before I left my house on 06/07/2018 for early morning flight. I called hotel number: 513-771-9309, counseled the booking at 6: 40 AM on 06/07/2018 just 20 hr from booking and was able to get another hotel ironically in same area as priceline booking. I found out that hotel taxes charged there was 16.5%. Priceline's was 18.83%. I have requested itemization of all charges to show what I really owed, None has been provided. I am accusing the company of fraud and had asked that amount of $184.92 charged on my credit be returned. I DID NOT USE HOTEL BOOKED BY PRICELINE.

2) priceline booked my car rental at $21/day for 2 days but charged taxes & fees $30.58. it was $30 even before I got receipt. I USED THE BOOKING BUT HAD TO PAY ANOTHER TAX OF $5.55 TO RENTAL COMPANY. TAXES ALL TOLD $36.13. I SEEK REFUND OF EXCESS TAX FROM PRICELINE. I WILL BE SENDING ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS THROUGH USPS MAIL CERTIFIED WITH RETURN RECEIPT.

On 7/11 we booked 3 hotel rooms that were rated 3.5 stars. We arrived close to midnight to find an old, musty, run down hotel. We were traveling with a 3 month old and 2 1/2 year old. We requested a port a crib upon arrival and were told they would check to see if one was available. 30 minutes later someone came up with towels, but no port a crib. My son booked another room through Priceline and left Custom Hotel and went to the Sheraton where he was told they were full and his reservation was for the next night. He spent $200 and was told there was nothing that could be done. He then returned to Custom Hotel and was told once again they would look for a port a crib, because they had forgotten to do so earlier. Terrible customer service! Then there is the room! The a/c didn’t work in two of the rooms, the showers were filthy, the room was awful with no amenities other than a tv hanging on the wall. I don’t know how Priceline gets away with selling rooms that come nowhere near meeting the standards they advertise to be! Please look at the pictures and tell me how that is 3.5 stars!

I paid money to book two rooms for a hotel on 07/13/2018. Money was taken off my card theough price line cause i called my cards history. I would like my money or i will be looking into legal action because i was planning a family vacation and my money is tied up with priceline no hotel reservations were made priceline took the money but never made the reservation.

I reserved a room for my Daughter at the Holiday Inn Resort in Panama City Beach Fl. and paid with my credit card. Upon arrival she was told that she had to pay a resort fee of $30 plus tax. That was almost 50% more than I paid for the room to begin with. Nowhere on the website for this hotel does it mention this additional charge.I feel like this is a true "BAIT AND SWITCH". I should have been told about this fee while I was booking not after my daughter and two babies drove from N.C. I have found that being up front and honest about all things in life is the best policy. I will never use Priceline or Holiday Inn ever again and will tell all my friends about these shady business dealings. I would like to see if Priceline contacts me about this matter.

20

I booked a reservation with Holiday Inn for February 1, After going through the screens somehow, the date changed to Feb 8. I DID NOT CHANGE THE DATE!! My Computer froze and kicked me out, and then I immediately logged back in and I had a confirmation of the booking with the incorrect date. I have tried unsuccessfully to make a change to this reservation and been told that it cannot be cancelled or moved. I have called Holiday Inn and they tell me it is not their policy that it cannot be changed that it is Priceline policy. Priceline representative told me it was hotel policy. Who to believe? My trip number is 17844274271. I understand my chat conversation has a full transcript, and while I contacted Holiday Inn, they said I have to also speak with Priceline who is unwilling to do anything. I just want to change the date since I am unable to cancel it altogether.

I reserved a room at Comfort Inn, Denton Texas, November 18, 2017; Trip number 170-834-792-72, confirmation # 206821742. The hotel was undergoing extensive renovations that was quite a mess. I've included photos of the entire hallway, the hideous ice machine/vending area, and our room number with tape over the plaque. The hotel was such a mess I was uncomfortable with the entire stay. Additionally, I made a formal complaint to the hotel that the placement of the outside light are so low that I seriously injured my head. My husband is handicapped and I was helping him out of the hotel and when I looked up I hit my head very hard on the wrought iron light fixture attached to the building outside the doors of the hotel that should have been placed at least two feet higher. I am a short woman and this light fixture is likely to cause damage to many other people. I've also attached a photo of myself standing behind the light fixture so that you are able to see the inappropriate placement of the light fixture. I was not told by Priceline of any renovations. My expectation of the hotel was the description that I read on the Priceline Webpage. I was also expecting a hotel that would comply with City permit regulations to ensure the outside of the building was safe, free of danger areas, and that I would not need to be concerned about injuring myself walking to my car. I am asking for a full refund, credit refunded to my credit card.

Hello, I had a reservation for today # 14310791 for Jackson, Tennessee. When I arrive at the hotel I thought my reservation was at the Days Inn in Jackson, Tennessee. It was for Jackson, Mississippi. I pulled up all Jackson, Tenseness"s express deals and somehow it booked a hotel over 200 miles away from my destination? I called and talk to Ian with Priceline not helpful at all. He called the Mississippi hotel and they would not refund my money? Plus being on a budget I did not have the extra money to book a hotel so I drove to the destination in one day! I have three other reservations pending right now and I feel very frustrated and have lost trust in your company. I should get a refund plus some other type of compensation! Truly Disappointing, Warren Terry 828-242-4227

on 2/11/17 I attended priceline at golden grove village and bought two 100ml bottles of Davidoff limited edition female perfumes (one blue and the other pink) for $15.00 each bottle.
On 3/11/17 I attended the priceline store at Salisbury (parabanks) whereby I asked if they pricematched. the lady said they only price matched the perfumes. I then asked for the same item to be price matched to $15.00 as they were selling it for $39.00 (or similar). After the lady had made some ph calls and had private discussion with another female employee I was told that they would not price match.
I had intended to buy other items while at the store however became very disappointed that they told me one thing but then would not honour it.

Disappointed and annoyed.

I have been desperately trying to get some resolution to my problem. I booked a hotel using priceline (or booking .com) and was not told that I was to be charged an additional fee of $50 on top of the $111 just for the room. I didn't find this out until I was to check in to the hotel. If I had known I never would have booked at this,so called ,pet friendly, hotel. I told the hotel I was going to just cancel my reservation. I found out later that the hotel was going to keep my money anyway and its priceline's fault. The bottom line is that the Hotel and Priceline are calling each other liars, while I the consumer gets ripped off for the $111. do not do business with these morons. Getting every dollar out of you is more important than good customer service or any negative publicity that might be caused by such an event.

3 months ago I booked a flight from Priceline. And I show up to the airport and they tell me that they don't see the flight in their system. I spent a few hours there and no one was able to help me. I called Priceline customer care and spent hours and hours on the phone as it is, it took me hours till I got through and Priceline didn't know what was wrong. the people at the airport weren't letting me through because the flight was not in the system.

I missed the flight and I was never so angry my life. I have missed my sister's wedding in New York. And Priceline finally called me back a few hours later than I should book a flight right away and they will try to pay for it. I booked a flight assuming that Priceline will pay for it and now when I call Priceline after they charged me for the flight, and now I am paying for two flights and Priceline makes as if I have missed my flight from Israel and it is my fault when i have the biggest proof it was theirs.

When it wasn't even in the system and Priceline themselves admitted to me that they made a big mistake in the system.

Used the name your price to pick up a hotel at $75 based on the information on the page that said the average price of hotel in my area was $164. Then I was taken to a page that showed I could have booked the room for $65. When I called Priceline customer service, I was informed I could not get the "guaranteed low price" because I had not booked the room 24 hours in advance. It is incomprehensible to me that they would not lower the cost by $10 simply because I was not taken to the lower price page first. I have used priceline.com for over ten years to book almost all my needs. Apparently customer loyalty does not count for anything with this company.

I have recently booked a hotel with priceline and received horrible service with and dissatisfied purchase. The roomed reserved for through this company was a one bed handicap suite for my family of 5. The hotel explained this what priceline purchased that and complaints would handle through them. I called and began the worst customer service experience imaginable. After being told numerous times from the first representative that she was unable to do anything for us she connected me to a so called senior manager (Kelly - 5260217). Repeatedly this employee explained how wrong I was and should know what I am purchasing before I agree to anything and theres no way she could help or refund my money.

After she was done telling me how wrong I was again and again I asked to talk to someone higher and was told she was the top. That was lie because amazingly after asking time and again someone magically appeared who was (Alex 5260157) . What great one you got here. This person was the rudest in this whole terrible experience and hung saying theres nothing the will do, no cancel, no refund, just deal with it. I feel as I was robbed by your company and given a product that was not to standard. The hotel tried to accommodate and has told me that this happens all the time with your service. I would like something to be done about this incident for the two hours I spent outside a hotel in the rain speaking with your rude staff when all I would have satisfied with was a refund so I could have went and stayed somewhere else but that was not an option.

I got to hertz and did have a car available. I am having to wait for a car. This is unacceptable as I have flown into St. Louis to visit my daughter who is in the hospital and I am having to wait on a car that is charged to my credit card and is no refundable. I very upset set at this point. I would like the situation resolved by Priceline headquarters so I can be on my way. I can't see you can sell something that is not available. Rating will be a one as well as telling people how poor this is.

Did bid on rental car yesterday and didn't get car. They sent me a reminder today to bid again and I did not get car so website suggested I pick a different type of car which I did and it accepted my bid and went ahead and charged my car without me even getting to review it. So I called Budget Rent a Car to cancel but since reservation was with Priceline they said I had to contact Priceline. Spoke to a supervisor and Priceline within a hour of reservation and they refuse to refund money and they also refuse to match the price. I am filing a complaint with everyone I can!

Had a bad experience with Priceline before with hotel chosen for me and wanted to change to another hotel in the neighborhood but nothing was done. I believe this is bad customer service not to be able to change to another hotel even for a little more money.

Priceline has the worst customer service ever! I called first on 2/24 to cancel my airline tickets #106-197-372-89. I was given the cancellation information and was told I would receive confirmation via my email per JC. This did not happen. I called again the following day and was told the cancellation had not been made and that the previous information I was given regarding the cancellation policy was incorrect, the recording of that call would be checked and that I would receive a call back. This never happened. I then called today, 2-28 and have again been told that the tickets have not been cancelled, I waited for .5 hours for a supervisor and was accosted by loud and obnoxious music. I then hung up with a headache.

20

I ordered and paid for a vehicle through Priceline. I got to the airport in AZ to pick it up and was told by your people that I had paid for a standard and Hertz Standard is as 2 door. I have several pages of the complaints to Priceline and their answers which I'm sure you won't be happy with either. I would like to send them to you but this form only allows one at a time. Can you give me an email I can forward these to?

40

Been told I have a room at the Hyatt regency on 2/21 that I never made and I randomly found this out because I was staying there and they told that's my next reservation. I never ordered this and I demand Priceline figure it out. Does anyone know their customer service number to call?

I booked a rental car to be picked up in Phoenix airport and came down with the flu and was not bale to make the trip (Bed Ridden). I tried to contact Priceline to cancel and they where very rood to me stating "look at the cancellation policy"! The was the first time I ever used your company to book any trips, I spend about a 100K a year in business travel and thought I would give you guys a chance to earn my business. The Priceline number is 238-423-923-47 for $278.35. I am very upset with your customer service staff and how they would treat a new customer. Now I am out this money without you caring about me. Not my fault I have the flu, but you still hold this against the customer, this is not right. I would think this will cause people to not do business with your company when you have them locked in when unforeseen things happen.

I was trying to book a flight with Priceline. When I submitted all my information, an error popped up on the screen. Therefor I wasn't sure if the payment went through, so I called the customer service desk. While on the phone. The agent looked up my information and said it hadn't went through. After that I wanted to take the safe route and just booked with the airline. The next day Priceline had billed me for the transaction and would not refund my money due to an error on there part.

It's highway robbery if you ask me. Priceline claims the best customer service but when someone with a real issue comes to them, they can't handle it. I will never use this website again unless there is some kind reciprocation for how I was treated today. Not to mention I was on the phone for almost an hour with customer service trying to straighten it out which they didn't. Thanks!

The hotel my family stayed in was a poor excuse for a hotel. When we booked it online we knew we were from out of town & didn't know the area. The managers were rude & the service was horrible. There were cobwebs hanging from the pictures in room. It was very cold about 34 deg. We turned the heat on about 70 degrees in hotel room. We left for the day & returned to find the unit had been turned off. Our room was so cold. Many other things occurred there. Poor place to stay. We learned our lesson. It must be 4 stars class or more to consider staying there. Why did Priceline remove our review on their site? I will just submit my complaint at as many other websites as possible now.

40

I booked a hotel via Priceline for three days in Austin. They charged my credit card $374 and the hotel gave me a receipt for $301. I asked Priceline to credit the difference and they ignored me and I emailed, phone called and snail mailed the Priceline customer service department. See the paperwork.

My daughter needed to rent a car from Orlando to Atlanta. We were at dinner and saw the prices which were quite high but could not get to the name your price option on your website from our phones. When we got home and could use my desktop I put in a name your price and got the rental car. I know that I was looking for Orlando to Atlanta, do not know where it changed to Orlando round trip and how I did not see it. We get to the airport and that is when we found out it was round trip Orlando, not Orlando to Atlanta. Ironically the price I put in in the name your price was more than the normal price for a roundtrip Orlando. Anyway....they still rented her the car at the regular price of $130 and apparently made a new contract and told her to contact Priceline for a refund of the one I did by mistake. I have not had any luck with this.

I just keep getting the standard....sorry but nothing we can do. I have explained that the car was still rented and provided all of the information but get the same response. I contacted Alamo to see if they would refund this payment but they said they were not paid by Priceline since they did the booking under their regular Rental Agreement number and the one for Priceline was considered a no show. If my daughter had ended up not renting a car from Alamo, I could understand and would not even be asking for a refund...but she still rented the car. In the past I had a trip booked, paid for a hotel and car, then the flight kept getting delayed and by the time they were ready to go it was going to get me there too late for the function I was going for so I just went home. I of course got refunded from the airline but never asked for anything for the car and hotel as I understand. They were not used and not your fault I couldn't get there. However this car was still rented so I do not understand the hard time getting refunded for the one not used. I appreciate any consideration.

Priceline booked me with Bangor Maine Budget Rental Car and my flight was cancelled in NYC and showed up next day to pick up car and budget said they cancelled my reservation of 218.00 for a week and said my new rate was 762.81. I said no and said enterprise would rent me one then following day for 199.67. I said I would like to have one day rental only and Budget told me they were out of one day rentals and turned the counter lights out on me at 1:30 A.M in the morning. Cold hearted Mainers who hate tourist. I could tell he really enjoyed denying me a car. Called priceline and they said they have a lot of trouble with Budget in Bangor and said sorry, could not issue a refund. Do not deal with Priceline or Budget Rental Car in Maine! A True Nightmare. I think these people at budget are Stephen King creatures.

My wife and I booked a hotel room in Atlantic City for August 29 till August 30. The hotel was the Bayview Inn and Suites Atlantic City. We arrived at the hotel and it was located in a dangerous neighborhood. We felt unsafe! Not only was in in bad neighborhood the hotel was filthy and had a terrible smell. We want a refund. Your advertisement for a quality hotel is miss leading and inaccurate.

Priceline, to Enterprise car rental to make reservation....estimated 2 weeks. Checked "yes" for insurance....thought I was buying insurance from Enterprise for my car rental. Not until I saw the charge a couple of days later on charge card for $154 ($11 x 14). Called Enterprise and they told me that it has happened before because Priceline website is confusing and to call them and they would remove the charge....NOT. Said I could only cancel the insurance if I contacted them BEFORE I picked up the vehicle. Would not cancel, would not refund. I contacted Indiana Insurance Commissioner and signed a complaint.

I recently had to go to Boston for Pituitary surgery for Cushing's Disease. I knew I would have a lot on my mind getting closer to the date so I wanted to get everything lined up with hotel and car rentals. Three weeks before I was scheduled to fly out, I booked a mid-size car from Avis through Priceline (confirmation number 49382786US5 ) I bought the insurance for 10 dollars a day as well.

When I got to Logan airport, I was offered an upgrade to a Mustang for 30 dollars a day from Maurice, who was dealing with me at the counter. I explained to him that that would be nice, but I can't really afford it and I was having surgery in a couple days so money was tight. He took a phone call and after he hung up, he said that I could have it for ten dollars a day. I figured I could manage an extra 90 dollars for the trip so I agreed.

After he did the paperwork and I signed, I just assumed I was re-swiping my card for the upgrade and confirmation of the original rental. When I got home, I saw two charges for different amounts, one from Priceline for 464 and change, plus the 90 dollars for the insurance, and one from Priceline for 434 and change.

I called Priceline about this and they said they would look into it. They called back and refunded me the insurance I took out. It turns out, when I did the upgrade, the insurance I already took out didn't matter and Avis charged me for full collision at 30 dollars extra a day. Had I have known that was the case, I would have declined the car.

Priceline should have something in place to keep scams like this from happening. I was scheduled for surgery in three days, the last thing I was thinking about was having to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off and taken advantage of. I will never use Priceline again if this is how they conduct themselves.

60

I booked a car rental with price line I did not use the bid your own with them. I contacted them and told them that I could not keep the said date for the car rental they told me that the only way that I could get a refund was if I sent them in the information from my daughter Dr. office that she is getting a operation then they would not give me back my money. this a a direct violation of HIPA law. I think I deserve a refund!

Motel is not comparable to a comfort Inn. Not a two star. We just started using Priceline and have been very pleased until tonight. Room smells of dampness and we found a large area on the floor that is smoking wet. The sheets are stained and we will not get in the bed. Loud neighborhood. Very scary for my wife and I. Sink is broken. Frig is loud. People next door outside smoking and talking and it is after midnight. Door lock is not secure and has no slip lock. We have a chair against the door for security. We are not complainers but this is not right.

We Pricelined rooms for Nashville Tennessee for a short getaway. We selected downtown Nashville or Vanderbilt. The hotel we were awarded is very clearly not downtown (it is actually 3 miles out) which is extremely inconvenient for our purposes. I think it is very clearly not in the parameter we selected. When we called Priceline to complain, they refused to cancel this reservation because they have a contract with their vendors and would not break it. The supervisor we talked to said she cannot do anything about this. We are extremely disappointed and feel like we ripped off!! I intend to never use Priceline again and will find another online service to use for future reservations.

when booking with priceline i haw a free shuttle offered with my reservation. upon arriving in germany and calling the hotel i was told they didn/t have free shuttle service( sheraton frankfurt congress hotel 4 star) and had to pay for 4 taxi rides totalling over $80 euros ($100) to get to and from the airport. the desk clerk at the hotel confirmed this had been a porblem before with priceline, and that their website had taken the free shuttle offer away. i know i saw this on their site. no help at all when contacting customer service or customer relations. BUYER BEWARE!

I reserved a rental car on September 26th 2012 for the following day September 37th through October 1st on Priceline. They told me i am getting a "deal" of $19.00 a day. (Which is false because of the extra charges from Herts of an additional $105.29 it turns out to not be a deal at all) but my complaint is about the drop-off date. I returned the car to Herts around 2:43pm on October 1st because Herts told us if we return the car before 4:00pm we wouldn't get charged for the 5th day. So we did and they didn't charge us. But for my priceline reservation i put the drop-off time at 5:30pm because this was before i knew anything about the 4:00pm cut off time. Either way i turned it in before 4:00pm and priceline is still going to charge me for the extra whole day because on my reservation i picked a later time. I called and they said there was nothing they could do because i picked that later time so i will get charged another day. I think this is completly unfair, they should look at the time i actualy turned it in not the time i picked on my reservation. I will not be using priceline again. Not only do i have to pay for a day i did not use, their customer service lady was rude.

Booked two seats on American Airlines, #1459 for May 28, 2013, approximately one month prior to travel I was informed by American Airlines that Priceline is solely responsible for seat assignments resulting in one passenger on seat 23B, and the other passenger " unassigned". If two seats weren't available, wouldn't it be logical to have both"unassigned"? After six hours of inquires to Priceline and American Airlines both were unable to provide an explanation or reason for the "seating arrangement", for flight #1459, nor could they resolve the issue. Other portions of the trip were booked by the passenger, needless to say, the portions booked by the passengers were for two seats, side-by-side for each leg of the trip. Can you provide an explanation?

Sutherland priceline have discriminated harrassed an innocent customer defamed my character they have treated me with contempt
I have not done anything wrong they follow your every move which is not needed as I have done nothing wrong they tell you to get out of the
shop because you did not make a purchase you were deciding what to buy. I will never shop at any of you stores again they have now ruined
your reputation the managers should be sacked.They are horrible they had me in tears. They check your bag every time you leave the store and
I have always willing showed them as I have never done anything wrong . They are the wrong doers by this customer. You need all new staff at
Sutherland store people that actually care about this innocent customer. They tell you can't come back if you wanted to and give you no reason
when you asked they aren't allowed to say is their excuse. I have been a loyal customer with them for years never again & I will never ever recommend
them to anyone again. I was dressed apprioately they have no excuse. No reason. Well you can be happy knowing you have lost a loyal customer for
business. It makes you wonder how many more you will lose because of the staff at Sutherland Priceline.

Priceline computers switched my name on my itinerary and when I recognized this the "customer service" people I was on the phone with were extremely rude. After admitting it was the Priceline computer's fault, they still wouldn't do anything about it and only wanted me to pay the $100 fee. I am a student where money is low, and was not only blown away, but embarrassed that Priceline would treat customers like this.

First, and definitely last time using Priceline. Will never recommend it to friends or family either. Cannot believe a national travel company has this low of customer service.

Please feel free to contact me.

I am so disappointed with Priceline. I have used your service many times before so I am well aware of rules and regulations. For that reason, I am very careful when submitting a bid. This time after submitting my offer, priceline says that I won and that they have a room for me in BUENA PARK. I KNOW for a fact that I never listed BUENA PARK as one of the place I want to book a room.

NO WAY. It's an ugly city, far away from me, and to be honest I have an ex boyfriend who lives there and I made it very clear that I hated that city. There is no possible way I would EVER choose to rent a room in that aweful city. I tried customer service but got absolutely nowhere.

The reservation is for today but I am 100% against going along with this crap. I do not wish to spend a dime in that nasty place. I do wish to book a room but not there. Please contact me asap to fix this. I have always used your site but am really beginning to lose faith in the way you handle situations such as mine.

And I want to know how and why BUENA PARK even came up at all. I need a live person to call me within the next couple hours. This is causing more issues than you can imagine.

ALWAYS BOOK DIRECTLY WITH THE AIRLINE! I will from now on. Priceline customer service is deplorable. What a waste of time and money. I purchased at FULL PRICE airline tickets for my 10 year anniversary. I chose the full price format because I wanted to be sure of the selected seats and flight times. The booking process lets you choose the seats for the outgoing flight, then gives you the impression that you are selecting seats together for the return flight. My confirmation page said that I would be booked in the seat next to my husband. I only booked with them instead of the thru the airline, cause I wanted to book a car at the same time. Then I get my confirmation email that states that there was not a car available after all and my husband and I are seating 3 rows apart!!!!

I would not have clicked confirm "signing the contract" if it had stated the truth. So the contract was a lie, I didnt agree to the package they really sold me. I contact "customer service" 3 months in advance to have the error fixed. Their so called "customer service" is run by a bunch of foreigners who barely speak English and are beyond rude!! They refused to acknowledge any of this, even though several flights were available they refused any help. I have copies of the original "contract" that I clicked to purchase. They refuse to transfer you to a supervisor, saying they don't have one. Their only response is "we will mail you a copy of our contract policies". My response was "I can mail them a copy of the original contract that I clicked to purchase". Their response was just silence. William Shatner should be ashamed of himself for representing this fraudulent company!!!!

OMG, I never complain, ever, I have been in the service business half my life, this past july 2011, booked a room for two days on price line. On the priceline.com site, it stated this particular hotel was 5 stars, nice room, etc,etc, arrived there, room was on the first floor, it was horrible, smelled, (bathroom was nice) the bay window was cracked and would not lock. Went to front desk and asked them hopefully if they had another room, "no" unfortunately, however, the nice lady was aware of the broken window and it was on "the maintenance list".

I had used a coat hanger to prop under the sliding pane to reduce the length the window could slide open. Had no choice and stayed the first of three nights, my 72 year old mother was just not comfortable in this room. "the window still could slide open wide enough for some one to fit through". We left the next morning. To date, price line has charged me for the three night and has not responded to my messages, (if you can reach a real person and not stay on hold for 20 minutes) "no response from them what-so-ever.

BUT they have certainly made sure to fight the complaint I submitted to my credit card company. I am damned if I am going to be charged for three nights when this company advertised this certain hotel to be 5 star and fancy. For gosh sake, "IT IS NOT THE MONEY, IT IS THE PRINCIPAL. "your a joke price line and should be held accountable for your false advertisements, to consumers. Have a nice day.

We used price line on Oct 21, 2012 for a hotel. Price line gave us Hilton Hotel bwi, in Maryland. This hotel was very dirty. We were supposed to be in a non smoking room and it smelled strongly of smoke and a strong perfume to mask the smell. The toilet seat in our room was dirty with dried waste and ect, on it. The shower curtain was not even properly attached to the bar. There was ants all over the floor in the pool room, the halls/elevators were dirty. I was very unhappy with this hotel. It was supposed to a 3 1/2 star hotel and I felt like it was a 2 star, if that.

I purchased a vacation package for family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) through Priceline.com After the purchase I realized I could have save $173 dollars by purchasing them separetely from them. I called the customer service to refund the difference and they just e-mail me their policy and a coupon. This is what they advertise in their vacation package section. "By booking a flight and a hotel room together, with or Without a rental car, Traveler may save up to $500 when compared to reserving them seprately. Priceline vacation packages have the best prices.Guaranteed"

I strongly feel this is misleading consumers by false advertisement. Priceline should not be able to advertise these kinds of vacation packages without following through with their deal for customers. I was looking forward to something, and feel like I was victim to a scam bait and switch. I know there are strong words but that's what the world is coming to. They should have given me a refund no matter what when I called their customer service line. If you have a website that people use your customer service should be a top priority! Quit figuring out ways to make more money and find ways to help people solve their problems more...

Priceline booked and charged me for an additional night that I did not request. I discussed the issue with the hotel front desk upon arrival and was advised to call Priceline. Priceline refused to reimburse the additional stay, a cost of $124.25. My job entails extensive travel, not only for me but for my employees (14 at times when I have used this service to book flights and block hotel rooms). Given this lack of consideration, I will now use competing companies unless I am granted a concession on this one-time circumstance. Thank you for your attention.

Priceline is BIG on the "bait and switch" scenarios. Here is my letter to management at Priceline. com which reflects what happened to me: Dear Priceline Management: I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Priceline and can promise you that I have no desire to use your services again unless some proper action is taken to correct a Priceline error. I purchased tickets (which CLEARLY say First Class Flights) from New Orleans to Bali, Indonesia via LA and Taiwan, yet when I went to choose seats, it would only give me Economy seat selection.

I emailed your customer service dept before confirming and received a response which told me to pick a seat and then call the airlines to make a first class selection. This I did and Delta told me that I had not purchased first class tickets (even though my paperwork says I did and your customer service verified....Angela). Delta told me I needed to call you guys and have it corrected as the ticket purchase was thru your site.

I spent 56 minutes and 3 transfers on the phone with your "customer service and supervisors" and was finally told that for YOUR mistake the only thing they could do was cancel me with a full refund. Why would I want to do that and take a chance on NOT being able to travel on my selected dates. I have since found on line that several people feel that you "count on them not wanting to cancel for fear of not being able to get a flight on their travel dates".

I even offered to email or fax my paperwork and email response from Priceline, to your customer service so that they could see what I was seeing. I was told "no, you are absolutely correct, we see that it was offered as first class flight, however you were given economy". I chose your site because I was offered a specific fare and seating at a specific price. You sold me something different. In this country that is called bait and switch and it is illegal. I chose to keep my reservation rather than take a chance on losing my travel dates. I am very disappointed and sad that Priceline has sunk to this level. All you had to do was honor what you sold. Tsk, tsk.

Unfortunately, as a frequent international and domestic traveller, it is my responsibility, to my friends and family that travel, to make sure that they are aware of this incident. I was even more alarmed when I began checking the internet to find that this is most definitely NOT an isolated case. What is even more important....I kept my cool, never used foul language, agreed to repeated transfers and holds, and did it all with ease and grace hoping that you all would do the right thing; you should have upgraded the seats at the cost that you sold them to me. You still didn't......:(

As a manager and business owner, myself, when I or someone on my team makes an error or makes a grave customer service mistake, I want to know about it and then take proper measures to correct and thereby deflect a marketing nightmare. I am hoping that, as managers, you all feel the same way. Here's your chance.

I am upset about the cancellation of flight reservation without notification. We made airline reservations to S. Korea last week through Priceline. We received a confirmation of the reservation. My husband noticed our credit card had not billed us for the airline tickets. He called Priceline. They informed him the reservation had been canceled. We had received no notification of this cancellation. If he had not noticed that our credit card had not billed us we would not have known of the cancellation.

20

Priceline gave me a hidden fee (courtesy) disclosed after the fact. I thought that I received a good deal on a hotel last week, but was informed afterwards, that there was an additional "hotel fee". I was upset and was unaware of where to call and/or complain to get that amount refunded, or what I could do. I will NEVER EVER book through Priceline again. I will also tell all of my friends and family about this, so they could make better choices when booking a hotel.

20

I made a bid on a rental car and won an Avis car for 5 days for a total charge of $251.10 . After returning the car Avis charged me an additional $27.38 for concession recovery fee and energy recovery fee. I complained to Priceline and they said that it is written in Priceline contract, thought it doesn’t.

The contract says that “The rental partner will charge your credit card at the rental counter for any optional items you add to your reservation now or at the counter” and I haven’t requested or received any optional items.

40

We went in priceline for the first time to book our airfare for vacation of a lifetime and we gave them dyes from April 12 to April 20th they booked us on flights from apr 11 to April 19th that don’t match our hotel reservations.. When we calle them they tok us we need to be flexible and would not change /fix or cancel the flights.. We even paid extra for insurance that coincidentally don’t cover wrong dates..

Due to a change in my schedule, I am unable to fly on my December 30, 2012 flight, Trip Number:131-494-910-41. I called the customer service line at 11:00 this morning and waited on hold until 11:47 when someone hung up on me. I then called back about an hour later and waited on hold for an hour, and no one answered. I contacted Priceline through internet chat, and the lady “Jen” said that I need to contact customer service for a refund. The internet chat took about 25 minutes to get a response. I am now on the phone with Priceline. I called at 3:55, and I am still on hold.

This is completely unacceptable. Because of the time your company has made me waste, I feel I deserve a refund for the ticket in the full amount I paid, which was $99.80.

Please contact me soon by email or by phone. I have tried to be patient as I understand you may be busy, but this is the worst customer support I have ever experienced.

I booked a room in Miami for my son who is in the military for two weeks. This would allow him time to find a place to live while stationed in Miami. THe hidden charges come from the hotel at 15.00 perday resort fee and 32.00 per day parking. in this case it is 115% of what we payed for the room. I called priceline and asked them to help me correct this as my son cannot afford these fees on his Military salary. I ask them to help get another hotel that does not have these charges. I was told to bad they could not help me. The phone service was in the Phillipines! This is wrong in any case, Priceline should be boycotted.

We recently booked a deluxe room that was supposed to be water front at the Flamingo hotel in St Maarten using Priceline. Not only was it not waterfront but the room smelled like a sewer and was infested with bugs. When we called Priceline for help it took them 4 hours to do anything about it our arms and legs were covered with bites after we finally had to stand outside and literally yell at them. They canceled the room and said they refunded our money but offered no help to find another hotel leaving us stranded in St Maarten. This was our only vacation in two years and when sent an email about it we were ignored.

Do not use priceline the service is terrible and they list substandard hotels.

I purchased a flight, hotel,  and rental car package all through the priceline website. Here is my complaint and problem, they booked my return flight that was in conflict with the return of the rental car. Airport Avis opens at 5am. Flight leaves at 6am. No way I can make it through TSA for a 6am flight, it’s just not possible and their system should know that. There’s no one to talk to at priceline, and I cannot get ahold of customer service complaints at all. My only options are the following. Get to the airport when the rentals close at 12:30 am, and spend the night at the airport or book another fight. These people with priceline suck!!!

I too got the blown off by Priceline, I was a strong supporter of Priceline for the last 8 years until now. So I have to turn to my 7 year old son and tell him we flew over 3000 miles to Disneyland and cant go in the gate because our “Priceline Voucher ” is not valid . Shame on you Priceline!!! So they get back to me 5 days later and blow me off saying I purchased tickets through them (Priceline) that are non-refundable and its my problem not theirs. Is it me or am I in the wrong, you got to be kidding me Priceline. Believe me the fight is not over, you have picked the wrong family to blow off and STEAL my 7 year old sons money, are you kidding me!!!

Have feedback for Priceline?

Thanks for your feedback!

Sorry. Please try again later!
