I cancelled my reservation over 30 plus days before check in on Oct 4, 2024. This company only erfunded half of what I paid because they charged me for a night stay plus tax. This is not what was told to me by the agent. After reviewing the reservation, I noticed the cancellation policy which was not relayed to me by the agent. She told me I will receive a full refund if I had to cancel for any reason. This number below is my ticket number. Any more documentation required, please advise.Business Response

On July 29, 2024, I googled ************************** and was taken to a landing page with information about the hotel and a booking interface. I had previously called the hotel for a stay last year and had been told that there's a 10% discount if you call in and reserve a room that way. So I looked at the phone number on that landing page which was ********** and called them. The recorded message said: "Thank you for calling reservations." When I reached a human, I asked for "******************." The person on the other end said: "Hi yes, Ocean Crest. This is Ebony." I told her I wanted to book a room with them and asked her about the 10% call-in discount and she said: "yeah, there's a different process now. You pay the full amount right now and then when you check in with us, you can ask for the money back which will be credited back to you when you check out." So I went ahead and completed the reservation. I was charged $772.56 for 2 nights in August and received an email confirmation from "******************." I'm happy to share screenshots of everything.When I reached the resort, however, and asked for the discount, I discovered that the person I had spoken with was not employed with Ocean Crest! They did not even know this third-party person. The Resort further informed me that they were only charging $493.84 for the same room and I got a receipt from them showing this amount. They further informed me that they knew someone was defrauding people in this manner but could not help me beyond sharing a receipt showing the real price of the room.I never wanted to deal with HotelPlanner. This name was never mentioned even once in the phone conversation or in email. My reservation confirmation email came from ************************** and the contents of the email were addressed by "******************." This is fraud. I am looking for a refund of $279.72 -- the extra I was charged. The itinerary number from fake Ocean Crest (aka HotelPlanner) is H8973879.Business Response

I booked a room using the Voucher #****** and I have attached the confirmation showing the room was booked using the voucher. My card was charged $127.17 and another charge for $120.00. There should have been no charges since I used my free room voucher. I spoke to a customer service *** before booking the room to make sure that the room was absolutely free and no hidden fees are taxes would be charged to me and stated no charges would be made to me. I want a complete room for $247.17 immediately. This is the 2nd time I have had to get a refund for fraudulent charges on my card, and I will be filling a complaint with the BBB and Texas Attorney General about Hotel Planner fraudulent practices. I expect an immediate response and refund within 72hrs or I fill up with legal action involving an Attorney.Business Response

On 8/27/24 I needed to book a room at the local Best Western I went online and ******d best western and was shown what I believed to be the official Best Western website. My card was declined ( I guess I didn't enter address correctly) so I decided to call directly. They call simply said reservation center so I didn't think much of it. I booked a room because it was the only place in town and my house had a fire that day, but was shocked by all the fees attached. I was told they were the hotels taxes. When I got to the hotel I was told that I needed an authorization form due to the payment being made with my dad's card. I was never told that as i was booking.Since it was late and would have been a hassle I put the total on my card, which I was then told the amount had been discounted and that total would be honored. I was told that the charge to my dad's card was a hold and not a charge. On 8/29 the original charge posted to my dad's card. When I went to the hotel they said they could only refund the amount they charged me, which was almost 100 dollars less. They said the amount charged to my dad's card was through a third party. I had no idea it wasn't through Best Western and in my ****** history I only typed Best Western and no results say Hotel Planner. I even have the booking number with points in the best western rewards site. Hotel Planner is very deceiving in hiding that you are using a third party site. I'm out 100 bucks that I can't afford.Business Response

This is the reservation H9207947 I was told by two separate agents that if I paid in advance with a credit card, so my son could stay at the hotel that he wouldnt need to produce a credit card upon check-in. That he would only need to show ID. At no time was it ever made known to me that this is a third-party booking system, I called the hotel directly from the website phone number and ended up on this third-party platform, which was never divulged. I got a text today saying that my son would have to produce a credit card for any incidentals. Since he was driving from ******* to ************* and was going to go through *************, he was going to stay at a hotel there. I had to tell him not to cross the border because he didnt have a place to stay and we couldnt risk him crossing the border and then not having accommodations , when I called, I was told they had no record of me calling which is interesting as you had my reservation so you obviously got my phone calls. I let it be known that both agents gave me False information. If somebody makes a booking based on lies and incorrect information, they should be granted a refund. Then I called Days Inn to let them know about the shady practices, but since its a third-party platform, they wont deal with it. They said the reservation hadnt cancelled despite the fact that I was told on the phone it would be cancelled and a report would be made to request a refund, so thats now three separate agents that told me a lie I also mentioned I never received my booking email and I never received the email. They promised regarding the cancellation either.Business Response

On 8-30-24 I went to my computer and attempted to make a hotel reservation at the ******************** ****************** in *****, *****. I googled Holiday Inn Express Dallas Plano North and thought I was on the Holiday Inn website. Evidently I wasn't. The site advertised rooms for $140.00 per night for Friday, October 11th. I was needing two rooms for my wife and my two adult children.When I marked the first room, I put down two occupants. when I marked the second room it didn't allow me to put down the number of occupants in the room.The next thing I know it is wanting my credit card information which I think in hindsight is ******** no time during my booking was I told what my charge was when I finished and clicked 'booked'. It was only about 30 minutes later when I pulled up my email I discovered that I had booked my hotel stay with Hotel Planner and my total fee was $503.90!!! I immediately called their number and reached a lady with broken english who advised she was overseas and could not explain why my rooms that were $140.00 a room for one night were costing me over $500.00. I asked to speak to a supervisor about my charges and particulary why it showed me having 4 people in each room when there was only 4 people total.she advised me a supervisor was not available and she was not sure if I would get a return call.this morning I received another surprise in my email. It looks like I purchased cancellation insurance from this scammer too in the amount $39.48.I just want my money back. Thank you.Business Response

The only thing I received from Holiday Planner via e-mail on August ******* after submitting my room reservation was a very short document showing that my Discover card would be charged $503.95. There as absolutely no breakdown on the charges. How did two rooms at $134.00 per night plus occupancy tax at 13% total $503.95 even adding in the trip insurance? The answer is this, it doesn't. Now here's the big news. The OU-Texas ballgame is set for October 12, in ****** and I just called the Holiday Inn Express, located at ************************************************************************ to confirm my two rooms that Holiday Planner said they had booked for me, but had never given me a confirmation number nor had the hotel given me a confirmation number. Guess what, a single room was never booked in my name. This sounds like fraud to me as I am a retired State of Oklahoma District Attorney Investigator and I believe I know a fraud case when I see it. My plans now are to contact the offices of the Florida Atorney General and share with them the facts of this case.Business Response

I thank you for your assistance in this matter. I am sorry that it took me contacting local law enforcement officials and having to threaten the filing of criminal charges to get this business to refund me my money for services that I paid for, but never received. Thanks again for your facilitating this action.
