Westin Charges!
 

These guys are incredible. They attempted to run my credit card for over $28,000 during my stay because I spent $1200 on dinner one night. Ive spent hours on the phone and they assure me that they have released all holds but my CC company just told me they still have $1200 held. I have already paid $2300, checked out, flown home, and they tried to bang my card again today for a $1500 auth.

Every single person I spoke to at the front desk was completely full of shit!

Make sure you check your cards!

wow that sucks paul! good luck getting it fixed

You need an Amex. You call and estimate the amount and they refund you right away.

I guess those card banging programs that closed went into the hotel biz.

The food prices there were absolutely insane. I tried walking around outside of the hotel looking for normal priced food with no luck. :(

While that's pretty bad and seems to occur quite often lately, my favorite is still in Vegas, how if you book WITH the Group Code, it's more expensive than if you book without it. :error

Ive got Wells Fargo corporate working on it. It will all work out but its such a huge pain in the ass. Especially when everyone swears its all good - no more charges, no more holds, and then they go and stick ya again.

Everything was expensive but I will say this - the dinner at Hollywood Prime was pretty damn good.

Be happy you did not make those calls from the Westin.
My experience is they would have bankrupted you.

No shit. I almost had to since cell service in the room was just about nil. I had to stand with one foot on the balcony and one foot in the door just to get reception!

that just means they made jack shit in comparison to their projected earnings for the avn commitment and they have to make it up. besides you porn people are such ballers who would even notice a 28k charge. give them a break. they are struggling hoteliers.

yea they said they'd pre-auth $50, then I looked at my account when I got to my room, the pre-authed for like $174 heh

$28k for a $1,200 dinner? Nice tip.

He's a Baller, dont worry about it:pimp

lol - yeah, thats how I feel. Who gives a shit about $28k.

They told me that they attempted to auth what they felt I would be spending based on my dinner one night.

Sucks ass, don't banks go after these guys (charges them fines, deny service, etc.) if they do this often enough?

Last year I could barely get reception in the room. I was ready for bed and in a very short nighty when I got a call. I stepped into the hall to get better reception and about that time hear the door slam behind me. :helpme
