Anyone have an issue that the "cancel reservation" button just doesn't click? Tried both in Chrome and Edge and was unsuccessful.

Anyone? Where are all the PL fans?
Now it doesn't even give me the "cancel" button on the page at all. Tried chatting with a robot, but it said they require calling for questions regarding flights  >:(

I did. But it's a pain to need to call to cancel. @Dan claims that he always preferred PL because it's easily cancellable online, when in fact I've had this issue so many times.

Never had that issue.

I often use Expedia as I find their cancellation easy.

However, it’s bad enough that Google sends me reminders to check in for cancelled flights, why do I get reminders from the Expedia app about cancelled flights?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I made a booking on Priceline for 2 ppl and needed to cancel only one of them. after 25 minutes on hold PL charged me $15 service fee for the honor of cancelling over the phone..

If I book a PL Monday flight today till when can I cancel? does it make sense that I can cancel till Monday night even after the flight takes off? doesn't make sense to me. does it maybe also require canceling less than 24hrs to takeoff or something like that?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Best before the flight as many airline suspends the ticket at no-show. Priceline is dependent on "voiding" the ticket and not a refund

Thanks. Do you know for a fact that it can be cancelled till boarding or take off? (and not like 24hrs before departure)

The airlines that suspends tickets are usually takeoff or at check-in cut off

I had a ticket for takeoff today. Booked on Saturday night. I tried canceling on Monday evening but there was no button on the website. I tried calling in but there was no answer either for a long time. 11:30pm was getting close so I canceled it through United.
How can I get my refund now from Priceline?

You cancelled the reservation via United, Priceline still had to "void" the "ticket" before midnight Monday. Priceline won't be able to void the ticket, to refund now will be thru fare rules only unless Priceline will ask UA for a waiver
