Hi, I wanted to know my options regarding the "Name Your Price" feature. I booked a ticket: LAX to Austin, RT, leaving 6/21, returning 6/22. I had originally bid for San Antonio because I'm attending a wedding there on Saturday night (6/21), with a reception Sunday morning (6/22). I booked the flight to leave on Monday 6/23, but my card wasn't accepted. I tried to rebid. $150-rejected $175-rejected $190- rejected Then PRICELINE offered tickets if I bid $250 AND landed in Austin, so I did. When I got the itinerary though, the time had changed and I was leaving 6/22. My new itinerary: Depart 7pm LAX 6/21 Arrive 12AM Austin 6/22 (local) Depart 7AM Austin 6/22 (local) Arrive 8AM LAX 6/22 (local) total cost: $280 This gives me exactly 7 hours from the time the plane arrives in Austin to takeoff, minus the two hour pre-flight check-in. Include a two hour drive to San Antonio and that gives me less than an hour (on paper, ideally) at the reception. Basically, as it stands, I'm paying almost $300 to go sleep in an airport for 7 hours. I e-mailed Priceline but haven't heard anything. I did call them a few times but of course, they kept reading the screen prompts. I wanted to know what options I have. I did notice that someone else had a similar situation but had their tickets refunded for a small fee. What exactly did you say, or would I have to say to get Priceline to make this exemption to their bidding policy? At this point I just want to get my money back. I was barely able to scrape this travel money together (full time student). I'd GREATLY appreciate all of your help. Thanks... -Srini
