My checking account has been overdrafted and I'm smacked with a $30.00 charge
So just a few days ago, I needed to buy two tickets to San Francisco (from NY). I found decently priced tickets on Orbitz and plugged in my name, credit card info, and all that good stuff. Then I hit 'enter' and get an error sign. It tells me that "due to high traveler demand, we cannot sell these to you at this (low) price. please try again." So I look up the new price and it's nearly $150 more. So I bought my tickets through travelocity.com (and got them for a very good price).

Two days later, I find out that my checking account has been overdrafted and I'm smacked with a $30.00 charge. I check my recent transactions and sure enough, Orbitz.com charged me over $600.00 for tickets I never purchased.

After calling customer service, they agreed that the charge was invalid and said it would be removed in 3-5 days.

But in any case, Orbitz.com is a hassle to deal with and they will charge your card multiple times. They also tell you tickets are a certain price, get you to fill out your information, and then raise the price and charge you anyways.

DON'T USE ORBITZ.COM. Save yourself the headache and money.

price assurance
Just wanted to let everyone know that the Orbitz price assurance does not work for vacation packages. I booked a package to Vegas last week for $350/person, and this week, the exact same package is $335/person. Not a whole lot of difference I know, but every little bit helps. It is in very fine print on their Terms and Conditions page. Also, don't believe that the $25 cancellation fee is all you will incur if you cancel a package. I called and they said they would only refund me the hotel portion of the package if I cancelled. Also, to even change a portion of a package you are looking at over $100/person. I just kept everything the same, just trying to save a lil money.

My advice never use Orbitz
In short, don't use Orbitz. My bank and its VISA department told me that Orbiz routinely double bills a credit card and will later remove one of the charges. It happened to me. They billed me $2400 for 3 airlines tickets..and then moments later sent it through again. Caused me to max out my credit card on a trip. Luckily I had a debit card with me. I called Orbitz, they never admitted their mistake even whenI had them on a conference call with my bank. My bank's VISA department told me it routinely happens with Orbitz, they send it through, dont' think it went and send it again. Your card is billed twice.

My advice NEVER USE ORBITZ. Or if you do, call don't use that f*cking website.

Stop advertising false misleading promises that you do not intend to honor
Stop advertising false misleading promises that you do not intend to honor. Be up front and tell the straight truth, then maybe people will begin to trust you and want to book with you. I will never book again, wish I had of looked you up before I did and saw all the complaints of fraud, and lies you tell to the consumer to get their business only to not honor any of it. Your new campaign launch we guarantee to give you the lowest price is hog wash, I know I am a small consumer but I am affiliated with a large corporation and I plan to let everyone know about you before they ever get involved with you in any way...I booked a ticket that has went down 228.00 yet you have sent me nothing, you are a big fraud and business like you need to fail...

No refund and no help from Orbitz
Christmas vacation at $ 600.00 that went nowhere. Flight canceled due to snow, can't rebook for a week. Canceled vacation, call orbitz, they said we will be refunded. Three months later, hours on the phone, no refund, no help, they just say the same thing, expect the refund in 30 to 60 days. Never again, they suck, just wait, if you think they have always done you right, just give it a little time.

I will never use Orbitz to reserve a room or stay at a Ramada Hotel again
I will never, EVER use Orbitz to reserve a room or stay at a Ramada Hotel again. I reserved and paid for my room 10 days prior to my planned trip. When I checked in, I was told that the room I reserved was not available at that time and that it was not available at the time that I paid for it. The desk clerk and night manager were apologetic, but had an attitude of 'Oh well, its not our fault' They asked if I was certain of the amenities of the room I reserved (as if I was mistaken about what I paid for) When I produced the copy of my itinerary showing that I had reserved a King, smoking room with private balcony and jetted jacuzzi tub, the clerk shrugged her shoulders and said, Sorry, we don't have it. I don't know what Orbitz did.

After checking into to the offered double room with regular tub, I contacted Orbitz customer service online. After about 30 minutes of back and forth, they advised that the hotel was busy and could not talk to them right then and for me to call the 800 number in 30 minutes to an hour. An hour later, I contacted customer service by phone, was placed on hold and after about 20 minutes, the Orbitz rep advised that they were willing to credit $10 per night for my inconvenience. First of all, there are MANY cheaper hotels in Virginia Beach at this time of year and if the cost was the only consideration, I would have booked one of those. The amenities I desired were the REASON I booked the room the way that I did. I advised customer service that this was not an acceptable solution and hung up. On Monday, after returning home, I emailed customer service asking for a fair resolution to this problem. I received a response fairly quickly advising that a supervisor would be in contact. 5 days later, still not one word from the supervisor. Do not advertise or book and accept payment for rooms that you can not provide! PERIOD!!! I have a pretty big mouth and will be sure that this information is passed on to everyone I know. ORBITZ bites and Ramada is no better. Each one passed the buck to the other and NEITHER party made it right.

Awful experience
My wife and I bought 2 return tickets from Toronto to Sydney Australia from Orbitz and checked all spelling etc. before we purchased on line. When we rec'd the confirmation of our "E" tickets they spelled my wife's last name wrong and hit the "A" key instead of the "S" key, making her name Ruaaell, instead of Russell and her first name was correct on the "E" ticket as "Violet" but they addressed the "e" ticket to Viole...without the "t".

We phoned Orbitz to advise them of the error and they advised we would have to but another ticket and that it was our fault not theirs. When pressed for a copy of what we filled out they advised it was not available and hung up on four (4) separate occasions.

We called the airlines and they seem to be OK with the obvious error because we used my wife's credit card which actually shows the proper spelling at the bottom of the "E" ticket, but they advise that Homeland Security may not let her through because the ticket and her passport won't match. If this happens we will have to buy a separate ticket at whatever stop the security won't let her through and it will be a one way ticket for the balance of trip to Australia and a one way ticket back from Australia to Toronto which could cost an absolute fortune...$4, 000 to??? Can anyone help??? How do we get to an executive of Orbitz???

Scam billing
Orbitz.com is involved in a scam with Reservation rewards. When you book a flight or make other accommodations with Orbitz they offer you a $20 coupon through ReservationRewards.com. You enter your email twice and buried in the fine print is that your action gives Orbits permission to send your credit card number to ReservationRewards.com out of Conneticut. They then bill you monthly for services you do not even know you needed. I no longer use Orbitz.

Price Assurance Scam
I booked a flight to Fort Lauderdale that I have not gone on yet. I got a great deal of $260 per person for the flight. Because I booked early I begin getting a barrage of emails from orbitz about changes to the schedule. Usually these changes were 1 or 2 minutes. During this period I received an email from Orbitz, stating that someone booked a lower fare and I was now eligible for the price assurance guarantee. However, orbitz does not tell you what the amount of the refund will be, just that you need to take the flight before you will receive it.

Because of all of the changes to the time of the flight, I decided I should login to my account to get the most current flight details. While logged in they have a tab where you can go to see the flight assurance refund and status. When I went to the link it showed that I had the lowest fare and no award was due.

I called orbitz and after wasting a half an hour on chat and the phone with them was told well it is not on your account. to which I responded that I had an email. Orbitz responded that if someone booked the trip and cancelled within 48 hours as they are entitiled to do, the lower price does not count. I responded well isn't that convenient as there is no way for any consumer to ever know what prices where paid by other passengers and if the flight was cancelled by the other traveler.

The price assurance program is a joke and I doubt that orbitz, rarely if ever actually makes a payment.

never recieved email about Advantage car company's backrupcy.
We made CAR reservations on ORBITZ.COM in August 2008 for April 24th, 2009. Evening before I left for the trip, I printed the document off of Orbitz.com web-site under My travels. The next day when we arrived in Oahu, Hawaii, we went out to look for the Advantage bus to pick up our car. When the bus never arrived, I called advantage number and the recording stated that it was after hours and that it was closed. THen, I asked one of the employees of the airport where I can find the bus, he stated that the company is no longer in existance and that hertz had purchased the company. So the whole family, myself, my husband, 2(2years old) twin boys, our au pair, and 10 bags went to the hertz office. When we arrived, hertz said they could not rent us the car under orbitz confirmation number, only with an advantage confirmation number...
Ok, I called Orbitz, I asked them to make a reservation for us at the Hertz we were at, the same car at the same price. After being on hold and transferred a couple of times, they said that they were not responsible because advantage rental car emailed everyone expect for people renting from our airport(oahu, Hawaii)! and all they can do is make another reservation for us at another place at the current cost of rental!(this is after speaking to them for 2hours!!) At this time we were extemely tired and upset. Since we were at hertz, we asked if there was a car available for rent...answer was NO! we ended up waiting for a car to be returned so we could rent it. We rented a smaller car and paid over 200 dollars more for the week rental. After we rented the car...a few hours later. I called ORBITZ.COM again and spoke with a manager. I told him what had happened and he was very rude and treated me like I was trying to con him. He then put me on hold and called Hertz himself. Then he gave me many explanations why he did not want to give me a credit for the difference for the rental car...finally he agreed to give us 200dollars credit at ORBITZ.COM. This was the worse experience I have had with any company.
