?? about priceline---

[medolee]

If you book a room through priceline, say with a Holiday Inn, and would like to move to a different Holiday Inn--is that possible? That is the unfortunate circimstance with priceline is you don't get a choice--you are bound by your credit card entry to accept. Any thoughts or experiences?? I would greatly welcome your response. Thanks in Advance!!:) :) :)

you are pretty much stuck. You can try calling Holiday Inn yourself, but

unlike if you booked with them direct, it is really out of their hands.

 

However, there are rules and sometimes there are exceptions..it is worth calling both Priceline customer service and the hotel.

 

Priceline will cancel your reservation for what they call a "one time exception",

but then you have to bid again and pay a penalty on whatever your next accepted bid is. And you can't specify which hotel in the bidding process, so that doesn't help your situation.
