Voting Question: I booked a flight on “name your price” at Priceline.com and can’t get my money back!!?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
I bought the Trip protection below, but Priceline refuses to refund me my money so I can book a different flight. Trip Protection includes: Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption (reimbursement up to the full cost of your trip) Medical Expenses (up to $1500) and Emergency Evacuation (up to $50,000) Travel Accident Protection (up to $50,000) Baggage Protection (up to $500 for stolen, lost or damaged bags and personal effects) 24 Hour Worldwide Assistance Services I also initialed this contract. • These airline tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-changeable. The Rental Car reservation included in your itinerary is non-refundable, non-transferable and non-changeable even if the reservation is not used. What do the insurance carriers require for me to get the refund in the event I can't make the flight on the trip home?? The airline won't change the departure times either. I didn't ask them if they would doit for a penalty, but I will try it. I also checked out AIG "Cancel For Any Reason Coverage" and they want $139.88 so I can miss the scheduled flight home.But I will still have to spend $ to book a later flight.
