in case anyone was having a really shit day and needed to feel better about it:

this afternoon i lost over 900 US dollars just looking at hotels!! simply because i put my card info in on the checkout page of this one i was looking at deals on!

literally didn't even check out or anything! i hit the back button assuming everything was fine as it should have been and then i got an email like seven seconds later saying woo your room is booked! i only clicked on the link in the first place because it was initially an actual website for the hotel chain and the price featured for rooms was feasible so to be safe on the payment page i put my info in like what a steal! but then whoa! the price literally TRIPLED which included a $370 random fee so i backed out like nooo way for two nights? and not even a fancy ass hotel? but no! it auto charged!! and it took my money right away!

doesn't help that the scammy booking site is super sus and makes it impossible to get in contact with anyone so i had to call 5 separate numbers to finally get put on with a real person and then they made ME play phone tag with the actual hotel to get 'permission' from them to cancel and refund the booking because they don't 'allow' refunds?? then they still acted sus when i called them back with both verbal permission AND a clear note on the booking giving them permission to both cancel AND refund me, so now i have to wait 2 days to see if they continue to scam me of what money now or if they give me my money back, OR wait up to the end of next week to see if my bank thinks it's fraudulent enough to dispute the claim i spent forty minutes filing and get me my money back. and sure it might help that both the hotel receptionist AND the banking agent both told me the company sounded like a scam and that i should file a claim asap but idk right now!

regardless. i don't even have a paycheck to my name rn and i don't get paid until next week on top of not knowing when i'm going to get paid back for some big purchases i covered lately so i’m extra in the bin financially rn.

i hope you guys are getting on better than me!
