Major Highlights of the Week

Misleading Discounts
Users feel misled by the advertised discounts, as they often find better deals directly with hotels or other platforms. The lack of transparency in pricing and hidden fees erodes trust in the app's value proposition.
The prices look good until you see all of the fees they add on, which is very deceptive.
Customer Service Failures
The app's customer service is frequently criticized for being unresponsive and unhelpful, especially in resolving booking issues and providing refunds. This lack of support leads to frustration and a loss of customer loyalty.
I have recently experienced the worst customer service ever through Priceline, with representatives being unkind and unhelpful.
Booking Errors
Frequent booking errors, such as incorrect dates or locations, are reported, with users unable to rectify these issues through the app. This results in financial losses and a negative user experience.
I booked a hotel for the wrong day and Priceline couldn't change the date, leading to a loss of money.
Currency Confusion
The app's handling of currency conversions is inconsistent, leading to unexpected charges and confusion for international users. This inconsistency undermines the app's reliability for global travelers.
I booked in Canadian currency, but the app changed it, resulting in almost double the price.
App Functionality Issues
Users report frequent crashes and login issues, particularly on Android devices, which hinder the booking process and overall usability. These technical problems detract from the app's convenience and reliability.
The app keeps crashing and won't open, making it unusable for booking.

Platinum status means nothing, as there are no real rewards or benefits for frequent users.
