Don't use priceline

Originally Jeremy and Destiny booked thier honeymoon through priceline. They then got a call the day of thier wedding from the hotel cancelling their reservation due to evacuations because a hurricane was heading that way. So they booked a new honeymoon in a rush on the day they were to be married. Talk about stress!! So now priceline will only refund them the money for the hotel but the other $1200 or so dollars they spent on the rest of the trip priceline is keeping because they didn't buy the insurance. What were they supposed to do go down and spend their honeymoon sleeping in a car on the side of the road the hotels were evacuating for goodness sake!! The problem is Price Line has already received their money. They have an agreement with American Express that no funds will be withheld and they are not giving in. So the point of this post is to let everyone know what a FRAUD I think that priceline is!! It would have been one thing if they had booked it and then decided to go somewhere else but there was a hurricane!! Evacuations were being called for!! and they had no choice in the matter!! So Priceline, you will at the very least never get my business!!!

Thanks for this! We definately need to get this out to as many people as possible. This is horrible and it could happen to anyone! We actually spoke about purchasing insurance for this very purpose, so we are going to look to make sure. We are almost positive that we did in deed purchase it. This is very unfortunate and hopefully nobody else makes the mistake we did. They actually told us that they were putting it back in our account and it would be in there in 7-10 business days. Now, they are saying that we did not purchase the insurance and they are not refunding it. What a FRAUD is right! How rude! We will check on the insurance situation and keep you updated. Although, either way do not use Priceline!!!
