Hotel Reservation a Scam
I made a reservation for a hotel for 3 nights with Expedia, and I went ahead and had the full amount charged to my card right way. BIG MISTAKE. The actual charge from the hotel was $250.00 less. But Expedia said this is their negotiated discount, not a discount to me. Expedia said I was given an invoice that was an internal document between Expedia and the hotel, not for my eyes. The hotel said since I paid Expedia in full, Expedia then sends them a "virtual card" to charge the actual charges on. Then Expedia keeps the difference. WHAT A SCAM!!!! Update, Expedia asked me to contact them so they could discuss, so I did. Again, same answer, they keep the money because I was stupid enough to pay Expedia in full. Please learn from my lesson, only reserve the booking through Expedia, DO NOT PAY EXPEDIA IN FULL.
