Additionally, I want to clarify that I did not rent a car from any company during this time frame. Despite this, the charge was processed, and when I reported the issue to US Bank’s fraud department, they ruled in favor of Booking.com, the same provider US Bank uses for its awards program.
I find it extremely concerning that US Bank’s fraud department ruled in Booking.com’s favor when the facts clearly indicate a mistake on their part. I intended to use my points for the rental, and I acted promptly to cancel the reservation once I noticed the issue. It was never my intention to charge this to my credit card. The agent informed me that the credit card number was needed only as a guarantee until the car was picked up, but no rental was ever completed.
I respectfully request that you review this matter further and provide a resolution. The $340.84 charge should be refunded to my account as it was clearly a mistake. I am a decade long customer of US Bank.
THIS IS A LETTER I SENT TO US BANK
please share if you have the t&cs. but the cancellation policy on booking.com is as follows:
If you cancel:
- MORE THAN 48 hours before your rental is due to start, you’ll receive a full refund.
- LESS THAN 48 hours before or while you’re at the rental counter, we’ll refund what you paid minus the cost of 3 days of your rental. There won’t be any refund if your car was booked for 3 days or less.
- AFTER your rental is due to start (or if you no-show), you’ll receive no refund.
