Deposit required three weeks before reward stay
Anyone seen this before?
I booked three nights in Hotel Indigo Edinburgh, UK on 17 August.
The Modify or Cancel policy on the booking is:
"Canceling your reservation before 4:00 PM (local hotel time) on Friday, 27 July, 2012 will result in no charge. Canceling your reservation after 4:00 PM (local hotel time) on 27 July, 2012, or failing to arrive will result in forfeiture of your deposit. Taxes may apply. Failing to call or show before check-out time after the first night of a reservation will result in cancellation of the remainder of your reservation."
I presume this is a mistake?
I know Edinburgh is very busy in August, but what sort of deposit could they be talking about relating to a reward stay?
