Wow, booking non-refundable rates months in advance is ballsy. I’m too skittish to book a non-refundable rate more than 1-2 weeks out. Guess I’ve been burned before. Only chosen that rate maybe 5 times and been burnt at least twice due to bad weather - not foreseeable stuff like going to Montana in the winter. Recent California wildfires last month and a snowstorm at the Grand Canyon when it was 90 degrees in Vegas in April, who knew?

So have you ever tried to cancel one of those bookings before they took payment? What happens if you need or want to cancel?
