Booked my vacation package through priceline this morning for what seemed to be a great price. After researching the location of the hotel in the package I realized that it was over 100miles from my arriving airport and over 130miles away from my points of interest. I immediately emailed customer service and then called a short while after. Note call placed to customer service wasn't even 3 hours after booking the trip. I called customer service team and requested a different hotel offering to pay the difference. I contacted the customer service team within less then 3hours of booking my trip that is over a month away. Explained to the team, that I will be looking at over 5 hours a day in travel to see and visit the areas of interest in Puerto Rico. For the inconvenience, waste of time and cost of gas I'd rather ENJOY my vacation and pay the difference by choosing a different hotel. Priceline customer service team was totally disinterested in my satifaction, attempting to make me a happy customer or my issue regarding the trip. They just kept referring to the policy and refused to help at all. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH PRICELINE AGAIN. I have contacted my bank and requested a dispute to be initiated.
