Since CART_Flagman removed his post, I will delete my post which questioned why he would initiate what I viewed as a personal attack. We can all hug now and sing "We Are The World".

Pretty harsh personal attack for no apparent reason.

I'm confirmed for one night at the Hilton Tokyo from 2/25 - 2/26. Since I didn't explicitly reconfirm my 9/3 - 9/11 Tokyo reservation, Expedia said to kiss off. In their words, since they didn't explicitly reconfirm the second rez, they were within their rights to cancel it.

Did Expedia mention the need to rebook? Or can you leave your reservation "as is"? There have been members in the past who called and had Expedia rebook for them using Expedia's corporate credit card as payment. This avoids future complications with Hilton's side of the honoring.

I have a reservation that Expedia still insists will be honored and has never suggested otherwise 4/15 - 4/22. Looks like I may check out on 4/19 though.
