I am currently at Hilton Jaipur for a week. It will be interesting when I check out. My employer ues Visa credit card.
Who is the issuer of the Visa card? India is becoming worse than Mainland China. Were there any tricks you employed like trying to see if they could cancel, or deliberately pressing the US button? Charge it back, and I'm reasonably certain you could get a Reason Code 76 based on the amount of a hotel room.
