Amen to that!

This has happened to me countless times on Travelocity (both cars and flights), and for a while they did not even point out the fact that the fare changed! The new rate just magically appears in the LAST confirmation screen, no more than 15 seconds after I had already confirmed the rate twice!

For what it's worth, it happens to me FAR less often on Expedia, so I believe this is a conscious policy/glitch by Travelocity to cheat its users. Of course they will deny it, but it happens too often there.
