Can I cancel a Priceline booking within the cancellation window if already checked in?

If I purchase a ticket now on Priceline to depart tomorrow morning on US, until when can I expect to be allowed to cancel it?

Will Priceline eventually ban you if you cancel tickets often enough?

I've been using Priceline lately as a way of holding itineraries that I am half interested in. Do they consider that abuse?

Well, I'm in the process of trying to cancel, or reschedule, two one-way transcon tickets that I purchased on Wednesday and, just this morning, realized they schedule is a problem.  Hoping to get a sympathetic Priceline agent on Chat.

Any suggestions?

There are reports of them doing it for you if you chat online or call them up. You can try a multiple times.  But personally, IME I was only successful when done before the deadline, when it was a price mistake, and when they made a significant change to my itenerary.

After failed chat with Priceline, they advised me to call them.
The Priceline agent said they can't make any changes because change fees would exceed any price of the new tickets.
They suggested calling airlines.
Airline said they can't touch the tickets until about 1 day before the flight, and said I should HUCA Priceline.
So, I guess I'll do that. I'm no stranger to HUCA. ;)

Does Spirit have a different policy than all other airlines regarding cancelling on Priceline?

Trying to book a ticket for the jb pointsmatch promo, however the date I want to fly might be problematic. By monday I'll know if the date will work I've been booking cancelling & rebooking since Friday to keep the low price. Can I continue this until the end of the week or somebody -- Priceline or JetBlue -- is gonna give me problems? Or anybody have a better idea?

With Amex travel if you book on Friday you can cancel up until Monday 10PM

Need to try FF or IE sometimes.

I booked on priceline and called to cancel before 11:29 the next day.  The outbound was Jet blue and it canceled.  The inbound   priceline WOULD NOT CANCEL because it was spirit airlines.  I called spirit and they also would not unless they took a cancelation fee.  .  What can I do?
