I don't see anywhere in the OP where the GM is looking for approval. He says he's
going to charge the card and to contact him if there's a different form of payment.
I would ignore it. Email gets ignored all the time and this one doesn't ask for acknowledgment.
If you go, you've got a room. If there's no room, OP is platinum and it will cost the hotel dearly.
If the OP cancels, he's got the terms he originally agreed to for a charge back.
