Easy Priceline cancellation

[zoo2tycoon]

Had booked a hotel through Priceline fur a trip to Houston in mid-April. I was able to call number on website an cancel automatically without speaking to anyone. Got confirmation email and refund 7-10 days.

I had a similar situation with Airbnb. We had a short trip with relatives to Key West planned, and decided to cancel. We were actually within the 50% refund period, but Airbnb has a "contingency" policy and when Key West declared an emergency, Airbnb made KW eligible. So we canceled, and within about an hour I had the full refund...100%.

I'm always leery of booking hotels through third parties because you can run into traps doing that. We have a college orientation coming up in late May, and to my chagrin I realized I had booked it through a booking site and prepaid. After a short conversation with my new best friend at the hotel, I canceled the booking site reservation well within the cancellation period and rebooked directly through the hotel. And...in the process, I saved $55! Turns out, that booking site wasn't such a great deal after all.

I'm still trying to get PL to cancel my express deal. Granted it's not until June but I want to be in control of my $2100. Who knows what will happen, our daughter is already out of work.

Yep, I've had that happen a couple of times when booking through a third party. The booking site says non-refundable because that is their agreement with the hotel. But I've called the hotel and gotten immediate refunds.
