I was just so flustered when it happened. The only thing I could think of was, thank God I brought another card with me! I'm sorry your situation wasn't handled as discretely as mine. That's pretty bad, embarrassing a hotel guest. You'd think discretion would be standard operating procedure, especially for a classy place like the Intercontinental. (Well, I've never actually been to the Intercontinental, but it sounds very classy!)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-17892896110273817892007-11-12T21:38:00.000-05:002007-11-12T21:38:00.000-05:00Esther, The same thing happened to me on my last t...Esther, The same thing happened to me on my last trip to London. <BR/><BR/>Only problem was the front desk reception clerk failed to be discreet and said very loudly, "Sir, your credit card has been declined." I expected more from the Intercontinental than that kind of slipshod embarrassment, especially since like you, I pay my card in full each month and knew that the error was not on my end. <BR/><BR/>My recommendation to anyone in the same situation is to politely advise the the front desk clerk that there has been a mistake and to call the card company immediately in your presence. That way, there's minimal "he said, she said." You can typically work your way through the problem right then and there.Steve On Broadway (SOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04353077627991682499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-32254915364229988302007-11-12T20:56:00.000-05:002007-11-12T20:56:00.000-05:00Hi Amy:Thanks for the comment!

Although I was so nervous at having my Visa turned down again, I used my AmEx all weekend. And yes, I feel very fortunate that I missed the strike. Someone somewhere was watching out for me!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-24499686808433658692007-11-12T20:49:00.000-05:002007-11-12T20:49:00.000-05:00Esther, I share your misery.

I hope this was the low point of your trip, and I'm glad you were in New York before the strike.<BR/>amyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
