Bad Experience with Priceline
Be careful when shopping for travel over the Internet. I wasn't and
paid the Priceline. Priceline says they will try to contact you in
one hour but they had over three days and didn't contact me until
they wanted to sell me something else (a rental car). After three or
four offers (all of which were turned down) and waiting one hour
before checking and finding my offers hadn't been accepted, I assumed
I would never receive an email until one of my offers was accepted...
WRONG. I never received an email but Priceline accepted my last
offer. I had a plane ticket but I didn't know I needed to get to the
airport. No refunds, changes, or transfers. I wonder when they
accepted my offer. Do they keep trying to meet offers until you
check back? Is that why they don't send email to tell you they
couldn't meet your offer? Will airlines drop prices before a flight
to fill seats? Maybe the offer I made on Monday wasn't accepted
until yesterday (Thursday). What gives?
