Amex FHR prepaid rate 10% higher than linked reservation on Marriott's
Just booked one night in Ritz Osaka, the prepaid rate I was charged is 10% higher than what's shown in the reservation on my Marriott's account. Amex charged me 596.06, and the rate shown on marriott.com is about 542. Is it normal or should I call Amex to adjust the charge?
Amex charged me in USD while Marriott's reservation shows rate in JPN(Yen). The following is what Amex charged,
1 Room x 1 Night $471.19
Estimated Taxes and Fees $124.87
Cost $596.06
Since I provided my MR#, the confirmed reservation shows up in my Marriott's account. The reservation shows the following breakdown,
Total cash rate 46,000
Service Charge 6,900
Estimated government taxes and fees 5,890
Total for stay in hotel's currency 58,790
Based on the current exchange rate, 1:108.46, the total is 542.02USD.
