After reading here on the forum about the new rules AA placed for leaving out of STT, ie: arrive 3 hours early, etc., I decided to book a room for we two at Windward Passage for the day before departure. The WP was recommended by several folks here, including Mal (Manpot). I googled the hotel, clicked on the first link, copied down the toll free 866 number and called it. Turns out it was Expedia, so I thought WP used them for booking, so I gave them all the info, including credit card info, date's, number of guest's, etc. Every time I have ever booked a room in advance, my credit card was used to book the room, and wasn't charged until check out at the hotel. Imagine my surprise when checking my card's billing statement online I saw that Expedia immediately charged me for the room. Is this right? Anyone have any experience with Expedia? Is this their policy? Should I try to contact WP direct? Help and suggestions appreciated friends. And, is it May yet?
