- [R2] Marriott Bonvoy Marriot is just amazing: I have been a Marriott Bonvoy member for about 10 years now, and the experience truly just gets better and better. Because of my schedule, I spend over 100 days a year at Marriott properties all over the world, and I can say without hesitation that it consistently feels like my home away from home. Whether it's the seamless check-in, the excellent elite benefits, or the ex

- [R20] Marriott Bonvoy Easy and accurate: I love how easy this app is to use.
- [R70] Priceline SO DIFFICULT TO USE!!!!: This app and servcie is SO DIFFICULT TO USE!!! Not at all user friendly. Terribly uninformative, leaving one to feel completely unsure if what you wanted done actually got done. I made a reservation, then needed to change it a few days later (add a day). Never did the service EVER indicate whether it had changed the existing reservation, or just made a new one, or what
- [R72] Priceline Problems: Confusing.
- [R7] Marriott Bonvoy Better save your emailed receipt: Regularly stays and points have to be submitted to Marriott to be included in your history. Otherwise they don’t exist to Marriott. I book all my hotels through the app, then after the stay they disappear!
- [R16] Marriott Bonvoy Glitches: For probably at least the last year I have not been able to message properties through the app. Today it won’t even let me complete a digital check-in on the app. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled…doesn’t fix it. Used to love the app but now it doesn’t even do the basics functions.
- [R37] Marriott Bonvoy Can’t book with points: The app has given an error any time you try to book points stays for weeks. I’m Titanium and the wait time on the phone exceeds 20 minutes. The “leave feedback” button doesn’t work to even alert Marriott to the problem.
- [R73] Priceline Bait-and-Switch Scam & Abysmal Customer Service, Avoid at All Costs!: I booked and paid for a rental car through Priceline, but when I arrived to pick it up, the car was completely unavailable. When I contacted Priceline’s customer service to resolve this breach of contract, the representatives were incredibly rude, hostile, and utterly unhelpful. They refused to provide a solution or take respon
- [R26] Marriott Bonvoy Fantastic program!: Marriott hotels have always been great! Never dissapointed. Staff is always very accommodating. The BonVoy membership and app is super easy to use.
- [R77] Priceline Always Great Pricing: My go to for saving on hotels and resorts!!
- [R82] Priceline Total Nightmare: Double Charged and Scammed!: Avoid Priceline at all costs! Their customer service is an absolute joke. Due to their agonizingly slow response to a simple cancellation request, I was forced to double-book a last-minute hotel. The support agents repeatedly lied to my face, assuring me they would handle the cancellation and issue a full refund. They did nothing. I ended up paying twi
- [R88] Priceline Cheapest Hotel Twice: Booked two separate Express Deals and got the cheapest hotel both times. Very disappointing and misleading. I expected at least some variety. Won’t use Express Deals again.
- [R28] Marriott Bonvoy Customer contact: I even can not find a support phone # to call when I have question.
- [R74] Priceline Never an issue: I cannot say I have ever had an issue with this app or the service. Used it for many years and rarely find better deals. It works, it’s convenient, and exceeds my need.
- [R109] Priceline O star of i could: After driving 7 hrs with my family, we arrived at the hotel only to find out that Priceline had no reservations for us, even though we have already paid. The hotel was completely sold out. Priceline promised me a callback with in 30 min but no one called.we spent hours in on hold sitting in car with kids for late night, awaiting for relocation. At the end response was sorry and
