Dear Mr***, The Revdex.com has shared with us your correspondence regarding your recent experience with OrbitzIt is my understanding you contacted our Customer Service team regarding your stay at the Quality Inn, Orbitz booking number ***, due to the dates of

I booked two flights through orbitz so I can recieve the orbitz rewards when doing soHowever when reviewing my account I found that only one of my bookings gave me any rewards/creditsI called and asked about this an was told there was nothing they could do to fix the situationSeems like an easy fix but no effort was given at all to try to resolvePoor customer service and dont reccommend using there service when other companies would actually act like they want your buisness

If you cancel a flight within their cancellation conditions...check your credit card statements as the refunds tend not to show up...even weeks later When I called, they confirmed that I had made the cancellation within the specified time and then said it was my problem to deal with my bank with *** I asked for detailed accounting information so that I could follow it up and then they then transferred me to their international department where they asked for my bank's phone number and insisted that I stay on the line while they tried to contact my bank to sort it out I was overseas when I made the call and asked if they could call me back after it was sorted...but they refused Not great customer serviceNot sure if I will use their services again

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: The entire matter was caused by Orbitz representatives, the investigation process resulted In favoring Orbitz, however Orbitz lied to protect themselves and not have to reinstate my ticketI ended up paying more money to travel to my destination. I do not accept the response
Sincerely,
*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Orbitz sold me the “package.” The flight that was cancelled became the same flight(s) that we took, paying double the amount for same day serviceObviously, Orbitz and *** wish to pass the culpability to one another, but as the customer, I was left to fend for myselfPerhaps Orbitz can acknowledge that evidently when the package was booked, the flight was unavailableLogic dictates that shifts the responsibility back to your company, as the remainder of the package remained in tactIn fact, how would we have been able to utilize the remainder of the package w/o air?? This entire fiasco is ridiculous, and if it were not my son’s wedding, I would not have paid for same day flightsI feel disappointed, abandoned, and undervalued as an Orbitz customer

Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact ***, Incregarding an issue from our
customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention. ***, Incis disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you
***, Incis responding to the consumer complaint from Ms*** *** (Revdex.com case number ***) regarding a promotional offer
We regret to learn of the customer’s issue when booking on our site. We are not able to duplicate the problem she brings to our attention and don’t find that any of our sites are currently running free hotel promotions. When free flights or free hotels are part of a package booking promotion, there are very specific terms for the offers.
*** serves only as a third party booking intermediary and does not own or operate any travel related business or services. As such, we must abide by the terms of the vendors who utilize our site to offer their services. When the hotels and airlines do joint promotions, they only apply to certain hotels and flights, and they are often restricted by the number of flights or hotel rooms the vendors will provide for the promo pricing. Once the number of discounted rooms or flights reaches the vendors limits, the promotional pricing is no longer available on that day, or possibly for that promotion. *** does not have the ability to override the terms or pricing of vendors. Further, our Terms of Use states; pricing is not guaranteed until booking is complete, as pricing is always subject to vendor availability and fluctuation
The customer does state our agents advised we were experiencing site errors. If this was the case then again, we apologize. It is never our intention to inconvenience our customers and we to make every effort to address website problems as quickly as possibleWe would also like to make the customer aware that pricing is set by the vendors and while our website is not updated in real time, our booking system links in to the vendors live sites where they monitor and update their pricing constantly as prices fluctuate and products sell out.
We will forward the customer’s concerns to our web team for their information also so that they can also look into the matter further to see if any technical corrections need to be addressed.
We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues that were brought to our attention. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us

were disappointed to learn that it did not cover your reason for changing or cancelling your airline ticketsOn behalf of Orbitz, I would like to apologize for any frustration this has caused youI appreciate the opportunity to review your account, and respond to you
Please know,***, the insurance provider for Orbitz Worldwide, provides a number of different travel partners with various insurance plansWhen you booked the travel insurance on Orbitz.com, we provided the following information for your review:

I will not do business with Orbitz in the future - Orbitz has lost my businessThis travel insurance is a scam and misleads the publicShame on you Orbitz,

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Refund of USD issued on December 6, had nothing to do with Best Price GuaranteeIt was the refund for airline tickets minus cancellation feeThe business response misrepresents airline tickets refund for Best Price Guarantee refund:
"Our records indicate that this matter was resolved on December 6, when the customer was refunded $for the Best Price Guarantee claimAfter further review of the customer’s account we are able to verify that his flights related to the package were canceled and refunded by *** Airlines".

Orbitz’s acts only as a third party intermediary for car reservation and can only quote a price since these are pay later bookings onlyOrbitz is not able to provide a credit or for an active reservation or not paid for in advanceBased on the information provided above, we are unable to honor Mr***’s request for compensation
