I have not posted on this board for several weeks now because there was a small group that was offended by the straightforward no nonsense nature of my posting style. I was asked by one of the Moderators of this board to reconsider my position as she said that I provided valuable info. here. I remained firm in my decision...until now, because it really pains me to see inaccurate defamatory info. posted about any person or company. I am in NO WAY affiliated with Priceline.
Priceline is ABUNDANTLY clear that when you bid for a hotel stay that they guarantee only double occupancy (2 adults). Double occupancy means two people in one room. It does not guarantee two beds. In fact, no hotel that I am aware of will guarantee two beds. They take a request but they do not offer a guarantee.
As others have posted here from time to time, and which I wholeheartedly agree, if those who don't read the rules continue to try to get refunds from Priceline, you are just jeopardizing a fantastic program for everyone else who does read the rules and agrees to them before they place their initials on Priceline's website saying they agree to the rules. Anything to the contrary is simply a copout and trying to place blame elsewhere and not accepting responsibility for your own actions.
Secondly, the Homestead Village is rated 2* by Priceline. Crystalwv, you did not bid for a 3* in Jacksonville when you got the Homestead Village, because you posted your winning bid to the board I host.

In my role as the Administrator of the Priceline and Expedia Bidding Forum, I have on countless occasions helped our members dispute legitimate problems which resulted from glitches in Priceline's system. I do this on my own time without any remuneration. I will never entertain disputing anything that was as a result of someone not reading the rules. To think that someone would legally dispute a credit card charge that they agreed to goes beyond my realm of reason.
