Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  I was contacted by [redacted].com.   They are giving me the same runaround they have always been giving me. I was not able to use the money I spent to purchase the ticket. I was forced to buy my wife another ticket from a better agency that gives better customer service and [redacted] informed me that I have a credit in the amount of the purchase price of the ticket however,  I have to spend $400 to reuse it. $100 is what they charged me to cancel it which they stated there was no fee. I dispute that, I have a credit card receipt showing I spent $100 to cancel the ticket. This is just one more lie in the litany of lies they've told me. They also told me I have to spend $300 in order to use  my $700 credit.  Remember now this is all because I simply inadvertently put my wife's married name and not her maiden name on the ticket I booked for her. This is an international flight and apparently the names must match regardless of the fact that her Hawaii drivers license which is a legal document shows her married name.  I am appalled that kayak.com continues to do business with an F rated company by the Revdex.com. How could such a large company refer their US customers to such a horrible company is beyond me. I have spent over five hours on the phone with [redacted]  attempting to clear this matter. Their customer service is atrocious and I promise to never do business with them again and I would encourage any customers reading this to use another service such as [redacted] unless kayak.com severs ties with [redacted].
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint:[redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:The reservation was never cancelled. Kayak hould be able to contact the business they are partnering with when they made a mistake. I was informed that it was not cancelled, I was then told it was. Kayak did the cancelling, not I.
Sincerely,[redacted]

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

KAYAK
lets you easily compare hundreds of travel sites at once. Once you
find the booking option that you like, KAYAK gives you choices where
to book. You can book with the airline, hotel, car rental company, an
online travel agency or via KAYAK through one of our third-party
providers.
We
make every attempted to get accurate prices, however, prices are not
guaranteed. At
KAYAK we don’t set prices, so it’s not possible for us to
guarantee what other companies are selling. As
a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer
available.

Thank you for contacting KAYAK. We have been in contract with the customer regarding her reservation. Below please find KAYAK's explanation...

regarding this customer’s concern: 
As KAYAK is a search engine, this customer searched for a hotels on a specific day and was provided hotel search results that link to booking provider websites to complete a reservation.  Upon selecting an option offered by [redacted], the customer clicked on the link on KAYAK's search results and was immediately connected to the [redacted] websites to make a reservation. Thereafter, KAYAK no longer has any responsibility, or insight, as to the customer’s reservation details, including whether or not a reservation was even completed. Once the customer clicked on the link and was taken to the [redacted] website, all communications are between the customer and [redacted]
KAYAK is not responsible for the closure of [redacted] a subsidiary of Low Cost Travel Group. The customer was informed that it would receive additional communication directly from [redacted] on its website and to inquire with any questions. Thus, again, KAYAK has no responsibility for the reservation as it has no privity with this reservation. 
Please let us know if you have further questions. 
Thank you,

I booked a room through kayak that was not honored by the hotel. Kayak should have enough integrity to research who they allow To conduct business on their site.
Name of the hotel is
Hotel Astor in tijuana

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I contacted [redacted] directly and they confirmed that the only charge that was made on my card was for the flight. The additional charge made by travelfusion is showing as separate. The additional charge was not listed when I confirmed booking on kayak's website because I would not have bought flight due to this additional charge. This is not the first time I've had additional charges made to my account on kayak's behalf. I am tired of the hidden fees and of the poor customer service I have received from kayak. Someone should have reached out to me to correct this issue as I use kayak all of the time for my flight needs and this kind of treatment will cause me to bring my business elsewhere. 
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: 1[redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Kayak does not perform a service for the public by posting a price that does not exist.  Since Kayak's policy requires that everyone must individually verify all flights and prices before purchasing anything, of what benefit is posting a price $500 below that necessary to purchase the flights? I was purchasing a flight from the [redacted] and back.  Kayak posted a price of $1080 for both. When I saw the lowest price for the first leg at $530, about half of what Kayak posted,  I thought this was a reasonable fare and purchased it.  I was shocked that the return fare was more than twice as much.  If the intent was not to mislead, why the $300 cancellation fee and the difficulty in gaining contact with the appropriate company representative?  No, I was baited, and once hooked, they reeled me in. Bait and Switch is not good business and Kayak should not be a party to it.  I want the purchase price of the ticket returned or the price posted for the joint flight honored.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint:[redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I was guaranteed it, and a KAYAK rep told me that I would be able to receive that price because I was ordering within the hours, when in reality, I was not.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I can see the fee listed NOW after I've already purchased it but prior to purchasing the flight there was NO FEE listed or I would not have purchased the ticket and I would have gone through [redacted] directly. Also, when I received my receipt from [redacted] it does NOT list this additional fee.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: there in lies my complaint - a PDF PowerPoint was provided that showed that kayak presented airfare terms outside of the terms and conditions section on their sales page. Their presentation of terms and conditions caused me to miss the airfare terms and conditions And is the whole reason for my complaint. Kayak terms and conditions were mis-leading and a misrepresentation of facts. Kayak provides an inferior product and clearly inferior service. Kayak's refusal to involve itself to reach a resolution is discouraging. I will not agree to kayaks response or close until more effort is made by kayak. 
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Kayak.com should have warned that the reservation was going to be processed through a non-US bank, which may result I a foreign transaction fee. Payment was entered on Kayak.com's website where no such warning was given in Kayak.com's terms of service. Thus, I expect reimbursement for the foreign transaction fee. The current response is not satisfactory. The amount of reimbursement I am seeking was listed in the initial complaint.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
