I contacted the hotel and they said they would process the refund. That was on 12/8/16.

They never did so I disputed the charge with Amex (I used my SPG Amex for the reservation).

Amex denied my dispute saying they had received proof from the hotel that the room was non-refundable!! They showed me communication from the hotel; a very sketchy looking form that had "non-refundable" circled!

My email clearly shows "FULLY REFUNDABLE". The Director of Operations confirmed (I have it in an email) it was refundable and that she was going to process the refund.

Is someone making fake bills to steal from this property? What is going on W?

Have you spoken with the GM of the property? If so what transpired?
If no to the above, have you contacted Starwoood Corporate Customer Service, If so what transpired?
If not to the above, have you gone back to AMEX with your proof? If so what transpired?

Let us know how this turns out.
