What bothers me more than not releasing an authorization is charging OUTSIDE of the authorization. On my first vacation ever with my wife I had a hotel AND rental car company (both near LAX) place their final charges outside of the authorizations they had placed. This essentially left ~250% of the total charges residing on my card and caused me to have to make daily payments in the later legs of our trip to avoid bumping up against my credit line.
