We at HotelDealsRevealed do everything we can to allow our users to get the best value for their money and make the most of Priceline. However, sometime things happen and people need to cancel a vacation or a business trip. As you know, when you book a hotel using Priceline\u2019s Name Your Own Price, your reservation is non-refundable.<\/p>\n

Cancelon<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>is the answer. If you booked a hotel reservation and you have to cancel your trip, you can sell your reservation to others on this secondary worldwide marketplace. \u00a0This is how it works:\u00a0\u00a0Sellers sell their reservations for a lower price than what they paid in order to increase their chances to sell it and recoup at least some of their money. Buyers get a bargain for their desired accommodations.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, you can book the Live Aqua All Inclusive\u00a05 stars<\/span>\u00a0Cancun\u00a0<\/span>Hotel for only\u00a0$300<\/strong>\u00a0instead of $430 for December 2013\u00a0http:\/\/www.cancelon.com\/reservation\/27324\/1-Rooms-Hotel-live-aqua-cancun-all-inclusive-country-Mexico<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a>. \u00a0We compared it with Expedia which asks $561.90 and Priceline which asks $421 both for the same room and dates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not only is it a good deal but it also allows potential buyers to get reservations in hotels that are fully booked. When conferences and big events like music and sport event are taking place, all hotels are normally fully booked ahead of time. Cancelon enables its users to find those reservations whose owners cannot use them.<\/p>\n

\n
We tested the site further and found out that most of the reservations posted are not last minute which makes it even better. \u00a0You get the best price and you can plan ahead.<\/p>\n
How can you use Cancelon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you have a hotel room you cannot cancel, you can\u00a0post it on Cancelon for free<\/a>. Once a buyer is interested in a reservation, the seller is asked to contact the online travel site or the hotel where the reservation was booked, to change the name on the reservation. Cancelon gets the new confirmation email with the buyer\u2019s name, verifies and authenticates the details of the reservation and sends it to Buyer.\u00a0\u00a0For security measurement, Cancelon pays the seller only a day after the check in day.<\/p>\n
\n
Cancelon offers 2 more interesting features:<\/p>\n
\n
One is the\u00a0<\/span>Make an offer<\/span>\u00a0option that allows users to bargain and offer Sellers a better price than what was posted.<\/span><\/li>\n
The second one is\u00a0<\/span>Alert Me<\/a>\u00a0where users can ask to get alerts for new reservations posted on Cancelon in different locations and\/or dates.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How much does the service cost?<\/p>\n
Posting a reservation in Cancelon is free. \u00a0Cancelon gets 10% handling fee only if you resell your reservation. Seems fair considering the handling fees they need to pay to secure the transactions using PayPal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Since Priceline hotels cannot be cancelled, Cancelon seems like a great option for reselling a Priceline hotel rservation:\u00a0 sellers who would otherwise be out of cash can recoup some of their hotel reservation costs, and buyers can get a great discount on a hotel reservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
