Expedia Overcharging

[rnanse]

I booked my airline tickets with Expedia and it stated in the checkout page that the final amount I will pay is ~$1457. However, when I checked my bank statement, Expedia overcharged me by $200.

I've been trying to get some answers out of them but they keep telling me they are checking.

Any ideas why did they overcharge me?

DCC is one of the fees included when paying at Expedia. But it should not be a whooping 13% difference like what you claim.

What does your Expedia receipt says (over Email when you first book)?

Call expedia and check with them would be the best solution ...

Thats a whopping 13% ?

What airline did you book and what credit card did you use ?

Once I saw Expedia was charging for the air ticket lesser than what the airline was charging. I smelled a fish and I saw their T&C said Sth like they can charge u again if the price of the air ticket changes after you have paid.

so far booked airline tickets with expedia , no such issue.
understand that there price might be slightly lower than booking direct

Okay so Expedia got back to my friend and said it was some international transaction fee. (We booked on expedia.com.sg btw)

They said it is waived for Singapore from March onwards. Sounds a whole load of bs to me.

How's that possible? If checkout & paid $1457, credit card company shouldn't allow them to bill anything more

What was your payment mode? Which bank?

If using AMEX , there are certain additional charges that are added but NOT shown on final amount of air ticket, but its usually just max 4%. Cathay and many budget airlines are the culprits.

Budget airline credit card transaction fee is it?

Im guessing you're travelling in a group of 4-5? With a transaction fee between 40-50 per pax.

Probably scoot.

I have stopped booking through expedia.
Did my Japan hotel booking with them last year, It was free cancellation and I was charged to my cc upon booking.
When I decide to change the hotel before due date, web showed non-cancelable.

I showed them a cut/paste screenshot during my booking that its free cancelation before certain date. But they insist i must prove with full screen image. No reply from them until the actual cut-off date was up. Call them and they simply say date is past, cannot cancel with hotel any more.
