Priceline - Hotel, Car, Flight 4+

I am a VIP gold member in Priceline (whatever that means but I guess It means I use it alot).
But this has not happened to me not just once but twice. I got charged by Priceline for a hotel on May but for whatever reason the hotel told me and said the payment through Priceline didn’t went through so they charged me again. (Thats all good I understand that)
But when I called the Priceline 3 days after and I said both Priceline and hotel have charged me for the same day so I want Priceline or the hotel to refund on the charge they said they had to confirm with the hotel (that’s understandable too) and the representative of the Priceline said we will make sure with the hotel and send a reimbursement email to your email in 3/5 business days but NO they didn’t. So I called again in 5 days and same response but again NO email (but yes they do make me wait again to confirm with the hotel)

After 12 days I called Priceline again and this time they said to email Priceline with my bank statements where it says both parties have charged. And they said it will take 5business days to receive a email back. Its been 2 week still No email.

I need to cancel a last minute trip and couldn’t get any on the phone. They push you to the text option which is automated for the first half. After finally getting someone I was told they couldn’t even help and “escalated” my request and some one would get back to in 3-5 days. Well after the reservation. I tried 3 different occasions to try to cancel this before The trip date each time being met with “we have escalated your request and someone will get back to in 3-5 days. The trip date came and went and NOW 13 days after the 3-5 day line someone got back with me “we are not able to obtain an authorization to issue a refund. The reservation remains non-refundable” I needed to Give the 48 hours which I did and have the Priceline text messages. Since no one at customer service can do anything I was penalized. Never again will I use Priceline. Not to mention after this fiasco I could have book the hotel direct 10% cheaper. Price line is a joke and doesn’t stand behind anything. It was their own incompetence that caused me to miss the refund date.
Update
The developers ask for a private message with the trip details. The same details I gave them 3 times in the chat, the same details I emailed twice about. Don’t waste your time with Priceline. Most hotels will give you 10% better of the cheapest price you find. Use Priceline to find your cheapest price and then call the hotel. The hotels cancellation policies are way better anyway.

I was on my way to louisiana and booked a hotel on their behalf. Min after I called to hotel to make sure the amenities where available and open. They were not. After that called Priceline to cancel and request a refund. They did not help me get my refund minutes after I had booked and they stated that hotel policy stated that they could only request refund 24 hrs before the reservation. What rule right because I had just booked it and had booked it for the same day. How can they say it’s 24 hrs before your check in time if I had just reserved a hr before getting there and then pay for something that has no amenities available. I had pictures, call logs, text, from where I had went to the actual hotel to proof to them that the pool was not in service and after talking to the owner he refused as well to even give me a partial refund. Be careful with everything they promote online and what you reserve with this company because if you don’t read and verify directly with the hotel you will end up screwed with your money. Had never been more disappointed with Priceline sad they wouldn’t even fight for their customers even when they know and in their system they have all the notes of how many times I called how many times they called the hotel and how many times the hotel owner stated he never received a call from any agent from Priceline. They are a joke. Nothing else to say but I’m disgusted with this company.
