Had our Rome hotel have an associated third party contact me saying the hotel I booked is overbooked and offer me another room at a different property. It was of similar apparent quality and maybe a bit better price, but we already booked the whole trip via Expedia and purposefully chose to use a CC to simplify payment and provide security. They definitely had reservation details that only the booked hotel would have had. Of course for this alternative they are asking for a bank transfer of 1/2 up front and pay cash for the remainder on arrival, so I'm going to decline and hang onto the reservation and make them cancel on me through Expedia if they overbooked and call the bluff.
I figure worst case if they do cancel, I can still scrounge an alternative booking that might cost a bit more but that won't play these games.
Anyone run into this before?
