I’m sure same will most likely happen to OP.

Close the credit card, OP.

OP here. No charge for the hotel yet, we’ve been back home 11 days now. Will update if we get charged!

At check out they said the hotel was paid, gave me a receipt and I left. The receipt was about 25% more in their local currency than the shown price with booking confirmation (including all fees etc).

Now I have been home for 4 days, the charge disappeared and there is no secondary or pending charge. I wonder if it will come through at some point. If it is not the booking.com amount I will contest it with the hotel, but at this point I am wondering if they forgot to charge me, or if I can expect it to come through.

Looking through comments on Reddit, there are stories of people who never got charged for their stay! Has this ever happened to you?

Give it a few days. If not charged, consider it a gift! I would not call offering payment.

Why - are you a dishonest person?

This is interesting- OP here. It’s my chase sapphire preferrred and I’ve been thinking of downgrading it for some time to get a new chase signup bonus.

If I downgrade the card, would it get a new number? I assume so? I’ve never done it.

Why are you trying so hard to find a way to get out of paying for accommodations you used?

Chase would track the card number change and automatically route charges to the old card to the new card.

They’re not trying to find a way out of anything. All they said was “That’s interesting”.

Banks route old charges to new numbers all the time (within same issuer).

It happened to me. There was a burst water pipe in reception and it ruined the computer system so they comped everyone

OP wants to avoid a sneak billing months later for 25% than he booked for. That’s what is in store for them.
