Trooper, I am just interested in getting a refund from Expedia or AA. It doesn't matter what your opinion is, and I have no desire to enter into a "who's right" type of discussion with you. Your beliefs are yours alone and don't affect or interest me in any way. For what it's worth, I have filed a complaint with US DOT and have sent a request to my bank to reverse the charge from Expedia. I'll let you folks here know whether anything develops from these two actions. I will also file a claim with my travel insurance policy writer and if they need, file a report with the police for theft and uttering a false statement and issuing a false document by Expedia.
