Actually I've been able to use Best Price Guarantees many times. But it's not as easy to use as you say it is: each program has it's own set of complicated terms and conditions and often reject seemingly reasonable requests. Also, usually the chain needs to independently verify the rate, which can take up to 1-2 days, and by that time, the rate may have changed. Also, often you need to book the lowest rate for the guarantee, which could be a nonrefundable rate.

Nice job guys! The Google voice settings are a little clunky though.

Wish my siri-less iPhone had this option.

Sorry, it's not the smoothest! We're still working on improving that part of the UI.
