I booked a 3-day, 4-night trip to NM for March on Priceline. This included air+hotel+car.
I didn't use the name-your-price function, but merely chose among the options and set pricing they offered.

I made the enormous blunder of purchasing this vacation for the wrong Spring Break dates of my daughter's school.

This was to be her first ski trip and, basically, her first time to play in the snow, etc. It's a big deal.

From the disclaimers and such on the vacation package, I get the sick feeling that I'm stuck and can't reschedule any of it.

Is this true?
What are my options?

When I discovered this earlier today, I sent Priceline an e-mail asking about options and was planning to call.
I came across this site and thought I'd get advice from others on how best to correct this.

Thanks to anyone who can provide some guidance for me.

Tex

Sometimes (may even be read: 'rarely') priceline will "have a heart" and let you cancel for a per nite fee, but this is harder to do since airline tickets (the biggest obstacle in the non-refundable aspect of travel purchases) so you're basically in priceline's hands at the moment and should just sit tight and await their response.

Perhaps since this was not a "name your own price" purchase you may be able to pay a fee (to priceline or the airline) to change your flight dates and then another fee to priceline to change the hotel dates... but if you are able to correct this, be prepared that it's likely going to cost you some out of pocket expense.

Keep us updated.
