This woman in my team at work keeps pushing us to all do something together outside of work. Last week, she invited all of us over to her house, but apparently only like 3 people came. So she did it again this week, and now our team lead is behind it.

I’ve had people tell me that the hotel tried to offer them a better rate to cancel their reservation with us and book directly with them, but I’ve also had to call hotels to find out if a guest can use his AAA discount on a reservation made through us, and been told that our price is already lower than the AAA price.…

I remember that hurricane. Most hotels were pretty reasonable, but a few where just being complete dicks about it, trying to say that they were still open, despite evacuation warnings from the governor and shit.

Did they tell you why they wouldn’t match the price? Because there’s usually a good reason.

All we need is to be informed of the date change by you, and we can change it in our systems. A call or an email is fine. Or you can add another day on your own and just block it off on our website to make sure we don’t resell it. We don’t even need that for early check in or late check out, just do it at your…

I can’t speak for Expedia, but Priceline’s prices are all set by you. If you’re offering a low price on our website, why not just offer it on yours too?

It sounds like you had a bad experience with a hotel, but are blaming a website they advertise on for it.

That’s the nice thing about third party websites. They won’t always offer that kind of a refund, but they’ll usually stand by the reservation you made, and help you if it falls through due to something like that.

That was a lie. He could have easily canceled the reservation and refunded you if he wanted to, he would have just needed to tell Expedia he’d done so, either by calling or emailing them.

Third party website here: You can easily extend a stay or give a guest early check in. We don’t stop you from offering either of those. And I can’t speak for our competitors, but if you walk one of our guests, we’ll relocate them and charge you the difference between the new hotel and yours on top of our commission.

They don’t remember you, it’s just in their system. They have a list of all the guests, and it tells them who booked with them vs who used a third party.

That goes both ways. You wouldn’t believe how many times a hotel has told one of their guests we were the ones who charged them, and they would need to call us to get refunded, despite the hotel’s name appearing it big letters on the guest’s credit card bill

I work for one of Expedia’s competitors, and I can tell you right now that was a lie. They can easily help you and just call or email us to make any changes to the reservation. But we make a good scapegoat, so as soon as they hear our name, they’ll clam up and tell you they can’t do anything.

I work for a travel website, and I can tell you one big advantage of booking through us vs booking directly through the hotel: We guarantee every aspect of your reservation, and have the power to back that guarantee up.

More players quit/never start because of rampant cheaters than start because they want to cheat.

I’m not too worried. I’m young and healthy, with no pre-existing conditions and no need for drugs or other medication. My insurance is actually so cheep, my company pays me to take it instead of the other way around. I get $250/year, and in exchange the deductibles on my insurance are so high it would only help if…

No, I feel bad for the people who actively tried to stop this and will be negatively effected. But only 62,523,126 people voted for Hillary. That leaves ~188,500,000 people I’m free to laugh at if they’re negatively impacted by Trump’s presidency in any way.

I know, right?

Btw, dummies: ACA=Obamacare. Good job voting against your own self-interest
