Most tickets sold on third party sites are consolidator fares and not eligible for these guarantees. I've never read of anyone ever receiving money back for this type of purchase. Your fare has to be EXACTLY the same (same fare code, etc.).
Seriously, you think that "most" fares sold by Orbitz, Expedia, etc. are consolidator fares? Priceline, sure, but not by those guys. The vast majority of their sales are the exact same tix you could get directly from the carrier.
