Orbitz.com FAKE
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.

I've been using Orbitz for more than 5 years now and today i'm very upset. I booked a continental flight through orbitz. I believed they have the best price so i didnt bother to check price on continental's site. Later on i found out that orbitz offered me the same price for the same flight as on continental's official website. I just paid for nothing. I think this is unacceptable cuz if they have the price assurance thing and the purpose of their site is to find ppl the "LOWEST FARE", then i should be paying lower price (includes taxes and fees) than what the official site offers.
