Not sure if I'm writing this in the right category. (I am currently disputing the charge on my credit card company, but wanted to warn others of this Priceline Up-Sell scam).

Main issue: Priceline has a 3rd party called Agoda as an in-between hotel booking agency. Priceline seems to create this 3rd party relationship on purpose. They can claim ignorance and not address any problems and pocket any money gained from their confused customers.

Situation:

- I used Priceline to book a 2 queen bedroom suite at Candlewood Suites, from March 12 through March 24. The default is one-bedroom, and I upgraded to two-bedroom, incurring additional costs.

Wednesday, 3/12 - Candlewood Suites (hotel)

- When I arrived at Candlewood Suites, I was given a one-bed suite, Wednesday 3/12. I checked with Candlewood and they said this is what was booked, and they could not change anything on their end with the way their computer program was set up. [ I was traveling due to a death in the family and could not call right away ]

Friday, 3/14 - Candlewood Suites, Agoda and Priceline

- I used the Candlewood Suites (IHG) ChatBot and the Chatbot gave me a number to Agoda to fix an error with my room reservation. Agoda is a 3rd party that received reservations from Priceline and creates the reservations with the Candlewood Suites (hotel).

- I called the number for Agoda. The person at Agoda support said they do not have a relationship with the customer (me) and that Priceline would have to resolve this themselves.

- I called Priceline on Friday, 3/14. The Priceline rep said essentially “ no problem, I can resolve this in 15 minutes and an email will be sent to your email address”.

- Waited. No resolution was provided on this day.

Saturday, 3/15 - Candlewood Suites, Agoda and Priceline

- Hotel rep confirmed there was nothing Candlewood Suites could do because of the way their computer system was designed - they needed Agoda to submit the corrected reservation details.

- Hotel rep (for Candlewood Suites) confirmed that they had 2 queens available when Agoda fixes their error.

- After waiting 24 hours (from Friday’s call), I called Priceline. Priceline rep tried to assist me by having Agoda fix the reservation. Priceline was offering me 2 options: the option to cancel my reservation, or 20% refund off the entire price of my booking.

- While on hold, Priceline rep accidentally mixed up the phones and instead of continuing to talk with Priceline, I ended up with Agoda support, and they refused to talk with me and hung up while I was explaining the problem.

- I called Priceline back and got a different person. She said that the earlier Priceline rep escalated the ticket and gave it high priority - 24 hours would be the fastest it could be handled.

Sunday, 3/16 - Priceline

- Called Priceline and explained the situation, and asked if I could just have my whole reservation cancelled. The person said that Agoda admitted their error and needed to escalate the issue for resolution. I asked for an email confirmation for this, and she sent an email (there was no description of the problem in the email, just an issue number). And said to check back the next day.

Monday, 3/17 - Priceline

- Called Priceline and asked to cancel my reservation. She said that the ticket was escalated for further review and there was nothing Priceline (I think she meant the regular customer support representatives) could do about it until that escalation was finished. And she recommended I wait for further options from them.

Thursday, 3/27 - Priceline

- Received an email from Priceline that the information from the hotel is restricted, and they cannot assist me.

As a customer, I find the Priceline response unacceptable.

- Priceline works with a 3rd party Agoda

- Representatives from both Priceline and Agoda confirmed I booked a 2 bedroom room. Agoda acknowledged they accidentally sent a 1 bedroom reservation. Whether or not Agoda does anything is not my (Priceline Customer) concern. Priceline is responsible for the products they advertise and promise to their customer and they did not provide the service.

Recommendation to Priceline or customers: I was told that Agoda is an internal company for Priceline. I would recommend they fix this, or that people not purchase "up-sells" on hotel rooms with Priceline because their 3rd party service is flakey and Priceline does not uphold their agreement on the products they sell.

I'm writing again to ask for a refund for the service not provided by Priceline's associated company Route Car Rental. I have repeated countless times that the reservation was NOT canceled.

The Route Car Rent tried to carry out a scam that I disagreed with. I made the reservation through your website, however, when I went to the company counter, my American driver's license was not accepted, and they tried to charge me an additional insurance fee equivalent to four times the daily price of the car rental. In other words, I’m saying that I went there, I did not cancel the car.

This practice is called “a scam; a prank, therefore an illegal act”.

We verbally declined the rental car companies insurance and they slapped it onto our contract anyways. When I called to dispute the charge with them, they said it was too late because we had already returned the rental car. I looked up the company and other customers have reported the same issue. It’s a scam Rental companies use.

Priceline.com sold me a 4 star express deal which is a random hotel of 4 star status in a given area and allocated me a 2.5 star hotel. This is mis-selling a product fraudulently. I have a screenshot on priceline's own website showing it as a 2.5 star hotel.

I went online and reserve a package trip to Hawaii for a family of 4 its a family trip that my whole family is going from June 7th to 13th. Picked the best option and my total came at $5,100. I went thru all the process online and paid the trip, while the payment was going thru, Priceline send a pop up that my flight was full and no longer available (After I made the whole payment) so brought me back to pick another flight but at the same time, Priceline increased my package to $7500 and no giving confirmation#. so I got out and log back in. but 1st I checked my bank account and they have taken the money, so I couldn't reserve the trip. I called numerous times to get my money back or they can honor the trip since they have taken the money. no one could help and told me that the money was on hold and cannot do anything about it.. I stayed dealing that day for almost 5-6 hours trying to resolve the issues and didn't go any where. Then I waited almost a week for them to released the funds. Now I am trying to reserve and them help me to honor the same price. no one help and keep on transfer to other people so they don't handle the situation.. I have explain the situation over and over and is like talking to a 1 year old who don't understand. dealing for 5 hours again and them calling me with people who cannot help with any issue but want me to make a reservation and giving me a higher price. to me the problem happen from the beginning when I tried to book the trip and out of no where they increased the trip and not honor of what I had originally. it went from 1 sec to the other and increased over $2,400. after them taking the money already off my bank account.. I now trying to leave a post on Facebook for them and they keep on blocking.

please help me to get this message to them, because it seems like there is no help with no one. I appreciate your help. thank you!
