Priceline Will Offer Refunds If You Lose Your Job (But Only If You Buy Trip Protection)
No need to hold a bikini car wash to pay for your vacation with the new Priceline trip protection.
What was very en vogue in the last quarter of 2008 and at the start of 2009 has suddenly become en vogue again. But we won't complain because it's actually a good thing. Priceline.com has announced it will offer a full cancellation and refund for anyone who books a trip on their site and then loses their job. From the press release:
The expanded trip protection is available for priceline.com’s vacation packages, Name Your Own Price® hotel rooms, published-price and Name Your Own Price® airline tickets, and rental cars booked as an add-on to any priceline.com travel reservation.
However, as this is part of Priceline's optional travel insurance you need to select this option in order to get a refund. But um, we hope that won't happen because we want you to keep your job! Trip protection costs as little as $16 for a flight and $5 a night for a hotel reservation.
If the axe does fall on your job, you will have to show that you were laid-off after you purchased your trip and trip protection. You also have to show that you were with your employer for three years and that you were "involuntarily terminated." So if you got fired for stealing boxes, that might not sit well with Priceline.
