Here's
what happened to us:
My husband had a business trip to Florida. He went to PRICELINE.COM
to look for an inexpensive fare. His specification for time was
LATE AFTERNOON on FRIDAY.
They charged our credit card $450.00 for a flight at 9AM on THURSDAY.
He was unable to use the ticket. There was no recourse from PRICELINE.COM,
or from the airline directly.
| PRICELINE
ripped us off and there is nothing we can do about it! |
DON'T
USE THEM!

Hi Penny,
I was on priceline trying to get a ticket to Florida for my wife
and 2 daughters(10 and 1). At some point in what I thoght was
price shopping they purchased the tickets. I found out that would
leaving from Boston at 7:45 PM and arriving in Orlando around
midnight after a stop in NY. On the return flight they would not
be able to sit together and they would be flying in a 37 seat
plane for the whole 1200 mile trip. I called them within the hour
and explainde that I did not want or intend to authorize the purchase
and that I would never be able to expect my family to endure the
hardship of the flight hours, being separted, and flying on a
37 seat sardine can. They said sorry you didnt want those tickets
but your stuck with them. I asked to speak to a supervisor and
was told there was no one else to talk to. I went to my bank and
signed a statement saying that I did not authorize the transaction.
They faxed it to priceline within about 3 hours of the purchase
and priceline still processed the transaction. It looks as though
I am going to be out $624 for ticket I will never use. Thier website
is extremely misleading and borderline criminal. Ted
