Hotels and motels are actually not supposed to charge different rates for different people, only based on room type. Why? Racism. In the past they would refuse to rent a room to people of color, and then later say OK but at a huge price increase.
For this reason jurisdictions have min and max room rate hotel laws for a reason. Check the max price on back of the room door when you check in. Show that to the manager, if they refuse to honor it, well the lawsuit will be welcome.
The airline thing is interesting because they sometimes show different prices depending on the browser you use on what device.
That sounds like a major lawsuit waiting to happen.
- alasdair_ 6y agoI've checked those posters before and I usually see a max rate of $1,200 or so for a $200 room.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoWhenever I've checked the max rate for a room it's been ridiculously high. High enough that the hotel could charge me 3x the AAA/AARP/Other group price and I'd still be well under it
