      I made a booking on December 20, 2021 with Itinerary XXXXXXXXXXXXXX for stay at St Mark Hotel in Cebu City from December 21-23, 2021. The stay would be used by my sister. The whole city was hit with Category 5 storm and power and water is out. St Mark is the only hotel in Travelocity with a room left. The day of check in, we kept calling St Mark Hotel to confirm if they have a functioning generator. The call was made multiple times but there was no answer. The roads in the city were full of debris and hard to navigate because of the storm. Without being able to confirm with the hotel that they have generator, it was not worth it to travel to the hotel. That same day, I reached out to Travelocity for a refund but was told they would refer the matter to St Mark's. Days have passed and Travelocity still couldn't get a hold of the hotel. They were still unreachable. Travelocity decided not to refund me for the amount I paid even though service was not provided. Although the booking was non refundable, there should be a way to confirm the hotel is servicing clients. This booking was not for leisure. It was to help my family in Cebu have a comfortable 2 nights after being badly hit by the storm.

      Business Response /* (1000, 7, 2022/02/04) */ Dear Better Business Bureau, It has been my pleasure to assist with Case #XXXXXXXX. Our findings and resolution to the case are listed below. Findings: We can confirm that this reservation was created on December 20th 2021 via Travelocity US for arrival on December 21st 2021 and departure on December 23rd 2021. At the time of booking, the customer agreed to the following cancellation policy: The room type and rate selected are non-refundable. Should you change or cancel this reservation for any reason, your payment will not be refunded. We contacted our partner that was not able to obtain a penalty waiver from Hotel - Reason why customer care was unable to resolve the issue. Conclusion/Resolution: We would like to offer our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused the customer. Unfortunately, we were not able to obtain approval for a refund from the property. As the hotel has declined to offer a penalty waiver we can't proceed with a refund for this booking. If the supplier will inform us the refund is possible, we will contact the customer and let him know. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and allowing us a chance for resolution. Kind regards, Belinda Global Customer Resolutions Team

      I booked 15 packages through Travelocity for a group of friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays on August 18, 2021. We were suppose to leave from Cleveland on March 27, 2022 and fly to St. Croix for 5 nights. Our return flight was scheduled for April 1, 2022. On December 3, 2021 I received an email stating that the airline changed our flight to depart on March 29, 2022 and return on March 31, 2022. Obviously this would not work. I called Travelocity on December 6, 2021 and spoke with and agent. I was told that I would have to cancel the trip and either rebook another one with different date or receive a complete refund. I chose to get a refund as our group could only go on the dates specified. I have received most of my refund except for $2,677.11 for the travel insurance I purchased. I was told in writing by Travelocity that I would be refunded all travel insurance costs as it was not me who changed my trip. Now I am being told that Travelocity is going to keep the $2,677.11 because it is not covered to be refunded. Basically, Travelocity can cancel anyones trip and keep what was paid in travel insurance, free money. The travel insurance company said that Travelocity need to refund me because they refunded Travelocity.

I tried to call to Travelocity but the line has been too busy to have an access. On Dec XX XXXX Finally I spoke with representative of Travelocity and he explained my return flight was also not available , which meant it was also cancelled. He said not available to find any alternate flights. Then I cancelled my trip to Japan. But he said refund is available only for my hotel cancellation. As for flight, credit which is valid within a year is given to me. It was not I but airline company (ANA) who decided cancellation of the flights and they would refund fully amount. I called to All Nippon Airways on Dec XX XXXX and representative Kajihara of ANA explained they would refund 100% amount in this case. But Travelocity repeated they never refund to me and they only give me credit which I can use only for purchase same airline's flights within one year. Is it acceptable? If airline company refunds 100% amount, Travelocity should refund to me. I never think it is acceptable for them to take my refunded money. $669.33 for flight. they say Airline policy-You can use this credit to book a flight on Travelocity with All Nippon Airways. Please help me to get refund since All Nippon Airways cancelled the flight and it was not my decision to have made a cancellation. Moreover, airline refunds 100%.

      We purchased two tickets through Travelocity for Sept. 2012 roundtrip from PBI to MSP, My brother-in-law passed away unexpectedly in August 2021. We paid for the "change" fee; however, when we tried to change flight dates to attend his funeral, we were unable to do on the website. We called and after 1 hr. 50 minutes the lady assisting us and providing actual flight information, came back on the phone and said she was unable to change it. She said we should call the airline directly. That was a waste of time since the booking was made through Travelocity. We ended up just cancel "Sorry, we are having a problem on our end." I called the number displayed alongside our credits and have now been on hold for 3 hrs 32 minutes! I will not be able to use our credit at this rate. I DO NOT want to hear from Travelocity that we didn't book in time and lose our credits. This company is a disgrace; they take customers' money immediately, then there is no help.

      I booked a trip to go to Grenada sandals resort august 2021 roughly about 4600$ was paid to Travelocity . Due to changing of restrictions I was not able to travel to Grenada so I spoke to a gentleman from Travelocity named Alex on X-XX-XX who scheduled me a trip to Dominican Republic for the time being and he assured I would still be able to take Grenada at a later time . I ended up paying another 2600$ dollars to take that trip which was a lot cheaper . Since that time I have called at least 8-10 times and get the run around that I will be called back and from the emails I get Travelocity does not understand the situation as they are calling the wrong resort to reschedule trip . I was promised something and until this day there is no one that can give me a answer except for " it shows you took the trip already " at this point I'm tired of explaining the story the people I have spoke to are Incompetent and when I ask to speak to manager they say they are not available

      I received a travel credit from Travelocity for a cancelled flight March 2020 due to Covid restrictions being suddenly implemented. I was promised use of the credit through March 31, 2022. Today I attempted to make reservations using this travel credit. I was told by Travelocity that they are no longer in control of this credit and can not book my tickets using it. They referred me to the United Airlines, which is the carrier that we would have been flying on. I called United Airlines and they told me that they absolutely are not able to redeem this credit, as it was purchased through Travelocity. So I have $1500+ in travel credit that no one claims they are able to redeem.

      I booked a hotel on Travelocity and when I got to the hotel they didn't have my reservation. We paid for the night and when we got home we noticed we were charged on our credit card for the original reservation as well when we arrived. We disputed with Discover who denied us and Travelocity that told us they were trying to reach the hotel. They said they were working on our claim and then when I reached out to them they don't reply.

      I booked an international flight through Travelocity on June 2, 2021. The flight was subsequently changed and on July 25, 2021, Travelocity agreed to issue me a full refund of $1,908.65 and sent a confirmation email confirming the refund would be issued. Since that date I have called and emailed Travelocity over 15 times requesting a status of the refund. On October 17, 2021, Travelocity requested that I get a representative of Mastercard on the phone to confirm the refund had not been issued. This was done and the Mastercard representative confirmed that the refund had not been issued. The Travelocity case number that was assigned at the end of that call is XXXXXXXX. I have also contacted the airline who issued the flights, American Airlines who confirmed that the refund does not come from American Airlines but instead through Travelocity. I have spoken with Travelocity every 3 weeks since the October 17, 2021 conversation and during each call they confirm a refund is owed and that it has not been issued and say they will escalate the matter to their conflicts team. I have received no resolution thus far on the issue and have not received a refund. I am unsure what to do and am extremely frustrated and concerned.

Upon receiving this complaint, we reviewed the booking and found that the airline authorized a refund for the airfare due to significative changes on the original itinerary. We confirmed that the ticket was cancelled and the refund was initiated on July 24, 2021 to the original form of payment, in this case, MasterCard XXXX-****. Refund timing depends on how long takes for the bank to process. As a result, we are unable to reprocess the refund for the airfare. As option, you can contact your bank institution to verify the status of the transaction. Sincerely, Joshua ****** Customer Resolutions Team Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2021/12/22) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) As I explained in the initial complaint, the credit card company and American Airlines have each confirmed that the refund has not been issued and Travelocity is the merchant who must issue the refund. During phone conversations with Travelocity agents they acknowledge that the refund has not been paid and that they are "looking into it," but nothing is ever done and still have not been refunded my money. I have been trying to get a refund for 5 months now and am extremely frustrated. The amount that is owed is nearly $2,000.
