Travelocity TRAVELOCITY Price Guarantee is a joke Internet

TRAVELOCITY Price Guarantee is a joke.

I booked a roundtrip air and hotel package for my daughter on January 21, 2010 at a price of  $1420.77. On February 16, 2010 I returned to the Travelocity website to check recent prices and found that the identical trip was now selling for only $1308.73. I figured this was a slam-dunk case for their Price Guarantee, but to my surprise it wasnt! It seems that in the fine print they have numerous dates that your trip must fit within, so be forewarned to read ALL their fine print prior to feeling warm and fuzzy about the trip you just booked.

  Below you will find a Copy/Paste of their infamous Price Guarantee taken directly from their website on (Feb. 21,2010) the date this is being posted:

   Please refer to item #2 in the Price Guarantee. My daughters trip has a scheduled departure date of June 5, 2010 so I realized that I wasnt deserving of the $50 Promo Code. The next bullet though, which clearly has no date stipulations, states that I should receive the difference between the price I paid and the lower rate.

   Judge for yourself, but I feel that I was mislead and done an injustice. Next time I choose to travel it will not be through Travelocity.com!
