not such great lengths if you ask me. having even one customer turn away from an upscale hotel isn't worth recovering a $700 item, let alone doing this on an ongoing basis.
- praptak 7y agoMy guess would be the hotel just charging their credit card for the cost of replacing the item.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoYou can just do a chargeback. Merchant agreements with card issues forbid charging the card for anything other than what the cardholder explicitly agrees to.
- Scoundreller 7y agoIt’s probably in the agreement. There might even be a price list in the unit somewhere too.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI know from personal experience. The issuing bank will state they are not responsible for damages etc etc. Maybe you might win if the cardholder admits to stealing or smoking in a room AND admits to knowing about the fine, but that's never going to happen.
- heelix 7y agoI have very different expectations on how Marriott reacts to me smuggling in a bit of booze vs the TSAs reaction.
- sokoloff 7y agoCouldn’t you openly carry booze into a Marriott? It would never occur to me to worry about it in the least.
