I'm sorry you went through that. I guess this is why others probably went to the third party sites in the first place but I went to the local site to avoid the third party site and got burned. Was that the reason you booked directly or was there no other option? >ii) Don't be afraid to ask for help, try to talk to a human next time something like this is happening. I'd just like to clarify that in my situation I only filed a chargeback after a lengthy email chain that went back and forth for a entire day where the hotel was adamant that they would not offer any recourse, no refund, no credit, nothing. >2) Booked a hotel through super.com because they had the lowest price. I didn't read the fine print, so when I showed up to check in, I was informed that I owed a resort fee or something that more than made up the difference. I ended up paying slightly more booking through super.com than I would have going direct. I think everyone gets burned by this at least once in their life. These "resort fees" are a complete scam that originally were meant if you were going to use enhanced services at the property such as the pool or gym. Now thanks to years of enshittification its just part of the bill. Make it the real price then!
