dear mintwax,

Welcome to Flyertalk!!!

Sorry you've been given a hard time over your post. Although Expedia run a very successful marketing campaign with the aim of assuring customers that they are a trustworthy and reputable company, many here have learnt of a series of blunders over the past few years and seen messy, incompetent and, at times, downright sneaky tactics by Expedia when they figure out what went wrong, how much the error might cost them, and the ensuing PR wreck as they attempt to rectify their account sheets.

Sometimes the fiasco is sorted out in a few days.

Sometimes it takes months.

There are a good many threads to reflect all the scenarios.

Some of us are involved from the beginning, and have a real stake in the issue.

Some of us don't, yet get drawn, mesmerised, to these meandering never ending threads full of threats, despair, angst and recriminations - the FT version of a Jerry Springer Show (with plenty of Judge Judy mixed in). Oh, the drama of it all!

Anyway, there is another thread starting in perhaps this topic's rightful home.

You can follow it here: http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=651534

(This particular thread may get lost very quickly as Travelbuzz moves at a much faster pace).

I personally will be very grateful if you could keep us informed, mintwax.


(I get a bit addicted to these threads myself, I'm ashamed to say. Perhaps I should change my handle to Yajiuma...)
