Acces America Online SCAM
On 8/9/10 I went to Orbitz.com to shop for reasonable hotel reservations. Since Orbiz banner ads om many websites state that they have Hotel Price Assurance and lowest price guarantee, I used them for the first time. I found a hotel that was located in the city I was traveling to and found a rate of 4.30 for a Wingate by Wyndham. I booked with my credit card as per the site and printed out my reciept. I stayed at hotel as reserved and in the morning the hotel placed a express check out receipt under my door, showing total room charges to be only .48, including all taxes. The room rate was actually only .86. This means that anyone lese could have booked this room for .48 with taxes but ORBITZ.com charged me 4.30 to my card. Thats a fee of .82 to ORBITZ just for using their website. How is this saving anyone money? I contacted ORBITZ and the sales represenative apologized for the high fee and after speaking with a supervisor they only offered to send me a ORBITZ voucher for .82 of ORBITZ CREDIT. I feel as though I have been taken advantage of and gouged on fees and left with a silly voucher. I have fled a dispute with my credit card company for the difference. Am I not being reasonable? Was this a justifable charge just for using their site? I looked over all my printed pages and receipts from ORBITZ and there are no disclosure staements that state anything about how much their fee is period , no % or anything in writing. My guess is that millions of consumers are falling into the same preying hads of ORBITZ, only to be taken for a real ride.

Orbitz.com FAKE
:
Warning, ORBITZ allows you to select seats on your airline reservation but it means nothing! They just forward those requests to the airline and the airline honors them, if possible. You get no warning from ORBITZ OR the airline if the request is not fulfilled. In fact, if the request is not fulfilled you get no seats and find that out at checkout; at that time seats together are virtually impossible. This happened to me on a flight with my wife from Philadelphia to San Juan on 04-21-09. “Luckily,” I found out upon 24-hour early checking and was able to purchase two “select” seats together at .00 a pop! Both USAIR and Orbitz passed the buck.
Lesson, book with the airline, dump ORBITZ, if you want seats together! The cost for the seats if not honored likely exceeds the savings
