Now, I was on the fence anyway as to whether I could make it, so it's not the biggest loss. But I am wondering, for future reference, if I could have done something differently.

It was refundable and not prepaid, though I did provide CC info. Is it advisable to prepay whenever possible?

Any chance of getting this kind of decision reversed?
