Seriously correct. You call the hotel to change something and they act like its not their hotel anymore. You call expidia or whatever and they tell you to talk

Note I have breached this wall by doing what used to be common before 2000 before we all got a little too polite. Getting really angry and not going away. Eventually they will cave and do what they knew was fair all along. Definitely NOT worth it though.

- CoffeeOnWrite 3y ago> Translation, never pay up front for anything that requires service at a future date. Would you say more? For things like hotels in popular destinations, it lets me sleep at night to put down a deposit up front, I feel like it incentivizes the hotel to hold my room. Knowing the room is better secured is more important to me than money. Now with Booking, I’ve never had them ask for a deposit. They either have me pay at the hotel, or they run my card after the “free to cancel” period expires (which is always very generous, expiring from 5 days to 1 day before my stay). This doesn’t help me sleep at night, when making bookings a month or more out, I worry that I’ll be cancelled on or be offered a lesser room than the one I booked. Fortunately I’ve only had good experiences with Booking so far, but once I have my first bad experience, I will switch to booking direct or with another platform that lets me put down a deposit up front.
