The fight with the hotel is over! Here's the backstory.
Back in January I stayed in a hotel that I pre-paid (never doing that again). Within the time frame, I cancelled one of the days and got my money back. I did the whole reservation through a third party. My time at the hotel was okay. When I arrived they charged me for the day I cancelled. I talked to management and got my money back. Then it happened again. I got my money back again. Then the day I checked out it was 3 am and I didn't check my bill carefully and they charged me again. I called and got my money back again. The next month I got my credit card bill and once again I was charged. I called the hotel and got my money back again. Then the next month I got charged again. This time I went to the credit card fraud department and they gave me my money back and then the hotel appealed it. I appealed the appeal and got my money back. Then the hotel appealed the appeal and I got charged again. At this point it had been going on for 6 months.
I tried to call the third party vendor around April but due to Covid-19 it was impossible to get through. They even had a third party answering calls. I left a message but never got a call back. I decided to call again in July and got right through to the nicest person. She got right on the case and in a day or two I got a response that I was going to get a refund. I was hesitant to be happy because I had been down this road before. Well, today I got my credit card bill and there was a credit for the hotel bill. Yippee! It looks like the nightmare is over. It only took 7 months to get this sorted. But I have my almost $200 back just in time to help pay for my very expensive crown!
My hoola hoop is great! I am so excited. I hoola hooped for 5 minutes today and I was exhausted. It seemed so easy as a child. I do have to explain it is a weighted hoola hoop so it takes more energy than the plastic hoola hoops we bought at the 5 & 10 and had as children. I think it will be great fun.
Until tomorrow...
