So, you’ve plugged away in your cubicle all year and can FINALLY see your vacation days on the horizon. Your bags are packed, you’re on your way, you’re sure you’ll have a great time… and then it rains. For seven days straight. Back to the cube, it’s suddenly sunny.
Life can be so cruel.
That’s why Priceline is poised to revive itself as a go-to website of choice for travelers. Having identified the silver (or gold?) lining in the vacationer’s rain cloud, Priceline has announced a novel idea to attract customers: If it rains on your vacation, you’ll get your money back.
There’s fine print, of course, which you can read here. But the idea just might make you willing to endure William Shatner.
Sunshine guaranteed… that’s better than the local weatherman!
