My bad.. awfully weird on one hand you guys are saying that the points is the deposit.. on the other hand you have to guarantee the reservation with a credit card in case for a no show. They should change this policy because it is hypocritical.. plus gives them the opportunity to charge your credit without authorization..

Sorry, I would get heated if this happened to me.. I would call up the credit card company and submit a fraud application for the unauthorized charge. It's important to send a message that this is totally one hundred percent unacceptable.
