well how interesting, i have been battleing for a whole day today with expedia, continental airways, and the Haliffax trying to work out where the £364.37 has gone from my account Again, like the stories above a 'pre auth' ammount is suspended in my account, after they took the monies for the flight TWO days ago! what a terrible system!!! I didnt realise that, in order to book a t £350 flight i have to have at least £720 in my bank account! Due to this 'system' i have had to take out an overdraft on my bank account (which im being charged for) so other pending payments can go through. Speaking to Expedia for 2hrs this after noon (not including the 3 times they cut me off!) apparetly it is an 'isolated incident' and they cant understand why a pre auth of such a high ammount has gone through Of cause, with it being a saturday, i cant do anything now untill Monday morning! They tried to offer me a £50 voucher. Why would i need it? Its not as if i would ever be using Expedia.co.uk ever again! Anyone with any suggestions to how to take this buggers down would be greatly appreciated regards Andrew
