You agreed to the "no changes, no refunds, ever" clause up front in return for the discounted price. When you "self-insure" against certain unlikely situations in lieu of more expensive options, sometimes it doesn't work out the way you'd like. It would certainly be gracious of CO or Priceline to offer a refund in this case, but I don't think they're under any obligation to do so.
I agree, if the OP used the "hidden" side of priceline. If she booked at normal rates, her issue is with Priceline.
Either way, CO has nothing to do with this, and the thread should be closed.
