Priceline Hotel: 2.5* NYC (MTW) Washington Jefferson Hotel

[frugaltraveler]

This has truely been an adventure with Priceline Bidding. During this time, I managed to plug in the wrong dates (June 10 -13th) vs. (Sept. 10-13th) and inadvertantly booked a hotel. I called Customer service and they quickly issued me an email with a one-time courtesy cancellation and a $75.00 fee.

In order to waive part of the $75.00 I met the guidelines by re-booking within 7 days for different dates. As time was pressing on and I could not find a decent price I called Priceline again and asked if they would waive the 7 day limit as I felt I needed more time to book the last remaining nights at a resonable price. Priceline would not stretch the 7 day policy so the result is a 2 1/2* for the aforementioned price.

In the end, Priceline has said that I have qualified for the $50.00 credit and only $25.00 will be charged.

I find no fault with Priceline and have been very happy with the customer service and assistance on this site.

As a first time user I feel like I have taken a mini-seminar with Priceline/Betterbidding and

I look forward to the New York visit and will definately use Priceline/Savingsbarn/Betterbidding again.

Thank you again for your passion in helping frugal travelers like myself!

Thank you for kind words and for sharing your results with the rest of us.

It is mentioned elsewhere here, but if you bid enough, eventually you'll make mistakes... it happens to all of us. I try to clear my desk and proof read everything.

Have a great trip in NYC!
