[Dataloss] Best Western Response

[macwheel99 at wowway.com]

Another hotel chain overcharged me a few days on my Master Card.

I had told them I planned to stay to a particular date, then I checked out 
early, and the checkout paperwork correctly reflected the # days I had 
stayed.

When I saw that my credit card bill was much bigger than the paperwork they 
gave me on checkout, I called to get it fixed.  They fixed it.  They did not 
need me to give them my credit card # again.

I was calling them 2 weeks after I checked out, when I saw my credit card 
bill.

The chain was Econo Lodge.
