fjx Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I am not sure this is the right place for this, but here goes.On 2/19/08 I bit on a 4* hotel in Philly on Priceline. My bid was for 79.00 in the center city. My bid was accepted at the Hyatt at Penns Landing for a one night stay on 02/22/08. On 02/22/08 there was a snow storm and I was unable to make the trip. I called the Hyatt to see if there was something to be done. I was told I had to contact Priceline. I called Priceline and they said they would contact the Hyatt for me. They came back on the phone in less than 5 minutes and said they arranged with Hyatt to give me a full refund.Just wanted to let you know it could happen.fjx643 Link to comment
Jason's Storm Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 You're lucky, because its very rare to get a refund, because of weather.~JS Jason's Storm- Making one killer deal after another.

fjx Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 JS,Yes, I know I'm lucky. But I received an email from Priceline confirming my refund for all charges including pricelines fee. This is the first time I ever tried to get a refund from priceline or hotwire. Is it that rare, in view of the extenuating circumstances, to either receive a credit or change the reservation. I assumed the "no refund no cancellation" policy did not inclued emergencies. After all if the hotel burnt down I would expect a refund!!!Thanks for your reply.Travel safe,FX Link to comment
