I won a small battle. I had reserved a room at a hotel in Boulder CO. After I talked to my cousin that lives there he said it was not a great motel. I called the hotel back and canceled my reservation. They said no problem. After the vacation I check my CC statement on-line and saw a $94 room charge on my statement for that motel. I called them and the guy actually said they have policy that they need a one friking month to cancel a reservation. I explained I had a policy to not accept BS policies from any company. He said he would talk to the owner and see what he could do. I saw the refund on my statement today.
I wonder how many folks would have just accepted that the policy is etched in stone. Not this dude.
