How to Get Orbitz to Hold Up to Their Price Guarantee
With all the deals available today, from hotels and airlines to supermarkets and clothing stores, some deals seem too good to be true. Add the convenience of Internet purchasing, and things start to get convoluted. Airlines and hotel chains typically cater to those who use the Internet to reserve flights and hotel rooms, while receiving the benefits of their services appearing on travel sites, such as Orbitz. Orbitz provides a lowest price guarantee for the hotel rooms they provide reservations for. It's determining which hotels participate, whether your purchase applies, and if so, how to collect the difference in the guarantee.

You will not be contacted by Orbitz to submit the information. Receiving the difference in the price-match guarantee will take time and effort on the part of the purchasing party, but the terms are very clear. If you fall within them, you are entitled to the refund, and Orbitz will not put up a fight in providing the difference.
