I was looking at my personal credit card activity. The hotel in Palm Springs charged my card for the week long stay three weeks early. That is illegal in Oklahoma, not sure about California. I know a few of the other guys going to parade said they had been charged as well. Today, I saw the refund on my account.
Someone got fired for sure. That cost the hotel many 10s of thousands of dollars if they did it to all 1,000+ attendees.
They have to pay a percentage to the CC processing services to make the charge, and the same fee to process the refund. And in two weeks, we get charged again.
For my personal situation, it really was not going to make a difference. My closing date is after Parade, so I don't have to pay that charge for 30 days after that. It will be a large hunk of money for the trip. The other hotels, lots of California gasoline, and meals. What the heck, its just money.
