I recently booked a hotel in Mexico through the portal, for a total of $1,366, paid half with points and half with my card. I also searched on the hotel website to verify that the price was the same as the market, and it was.
I was curious if the price had gone down, so I searched the hotel site again today, and it looks like it has decreased, to $1,229. So I went to the UR portal to see if I could get that price, and it actually showed $1,033! I cancelled my original booking, and once the points were back in my account, I rebooked to this price.
I just checked my receipts to compare, and it appears that the original booking charged $218 in taxes, while the new booking did not charge any taxes. Should I be concerned about this? Will the hotel charge my card that amount when I arrive?
