I wonder if it would be possible to resolve it via email instead? I foresee delays doing so however, but I’m not sure how “more” expedient it would be by calling instead. In any case, I’m with you on the principle and glad it worked out for you.

Hi Vito,

You hit a very solid point. I have long distance calls included in my plan, but I also spent about 10 hours chasing everyone down. 10 hours to save $50 is not a good use of my time but I did it out of principle.

When I say I contacted VISA, I mean my credit card provider. I still had to go through the merchant first as I had to build a case of why I deserved a refund.

One question. I’m curious, even if you had the receipt wouldn’t you have “had” to contact the resort anyway, thereby spending the long distance charges? Or would you have simply gone directly to VISA and avoid the long distance charges altogether? Also, when you say you contacted VISA, is it best to contact VISA directly or the card company associated with your VISA (ie. RBC VISA, TD VISA, Tangerine MC, etc)?

Cheers!
