- everything else that did not work, were still PAY NOW DUE TODAY (not pay hotel) but included flexible cancellation rates. this totally messed things up. i was never charged by anyone until i got to hotel.
- depo by hotel was never charged like others experienced even tho rate said i would PAY NOW DUE NOW.
- yes. u are correct. in the past, u do NOT need to book non-refundable. but due to this YMMV headache, i am simply saying im using the non-refund strategy to avoid this headache.
- not sure wat u mean by amex fixed it. how do u know? its too soon to tell.

Are you still seeing the option to select prepay but only get charged deposit?

I looked into several examples that I found when this was initially reported. They no longer say deposit only. That’s why I assumed Amex fixed it.
