I got screwed too!

I wish I  had found this site prior to making my reservations.  I have a flight for Dec. 25 and returning Jan. 5, however, now that I moved to that destination I will not need the flight.  Attempted to cancel and learned the hard way that the cost to cancel & reschedule on a later date would be, 150+30 (cancellation fee); reschedule fee 150+30; grand total: $360; flight cost me $263.  I would have to pay out of pocket $97; if I reschedule a flight at the same price of $263.  The worst part, flights are nontransferable so there goes my bright idea of giving my ticket FREE to a family member.  When I did the math I decided to take the loss of the $263.00.  They are not getting anymore free money from me. 

Another sucker bites the dust.

    Ditto. Encountered much the same when rebooking cancelled trip from March 2009. Conflicting information when credit could be used, how to use it, etc. Finally got Continental flights I wanted - easy two non-stops - and it took me over an hour and a half on phone to use the credit. Passed through three people in India, each one more difficult to hear and understand. Still no confirmation of bookings and I’m only a couple of days away from departure. Never, never, ever use Orbitz again.
