Itinerary #114063****62
Today its just like everyday, i made some online booking thru expedia buying airticket or hotel with them as i made partnership program with expedia.
But what happen is when i finally type in every single customer detail and my mode of payment. They came out this *** (Sorry
We weren't able to proceed with your booking. Please try your search again.) And i think oh what just happen, maybe the system went down or my internet down. So i just my Account as i'm using a debit card, so its was deducted 3,800 baht.
Then i call their customer service which is very bad because it is very useless, at their end they can't check the payment. and they re assure me that i didn't makes any Booking, so i ask them, where does my money fly to? To double confirm i went to the bank and check but they told me is deducted to expedia account yet they told me not them. Lucky me i have sms which is a prove, So experdia can you help me on thi thanks you very much.

There is nothing fraudulent here. First: You hire Expedia to go to the airlines or hotel and purchase a ticket or reservation.
Obviously they are not going to put that money out without making sure you are able to and will pay for it. Second: So when you attempt to buy something and use a DEBIT CARD, Expedia then puts a hold on your bank account for the cost of what you are asking them to buy. Third: After they purchase the item for you, they then submit the charge to your bank, where the charge and hold are consolidated. Fourth: If you do not purchase something like occurred herein, the hold still remains for a day or two until it falls off.
The absolute worst thing to do is buy any kind of travel arrangements with a debit card.
A credit card always gives you more protection.
Contact your bank and file a fraudulent pending charge and have them monitor it. If the charge goes through, it is fraud.
I also have a pending charge from them for $2500.00 for a booking that could not be made.
