Is MOTEL CHARGES fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Users may be charged for a subscription plan they signed up for, often with automatic renewals that can catch customers off guard.
• Booking Charges: Charges may appear for room bookings made through the platform, which include fees related to the stay.
• Service Fees: Additional service fees can apply when booking a service through the site, leading to higher than expected charges.
• Cancellation Fees: If a customer cancels a booking after the free cancellation period, they might incur a cancellation fee.
• Ineligible Discounts: Some users report charges related to using discount codes that were not valid, resulting in the full fare being billed.
• Accidental Extra Services: Customers might accidentally add extra services, such as late check-out or breakfast, which show up as additional charges.
• Currency Conversion Fees: If booking in a different currency, conversion rates may lead to unexpected charges on statements.
• Taxes and Charges: Local taxes and charges related to the stay could also cause the total amount to exceed expectations.
• Incorrect Payment Details: Sometimes users report being charged multiple times due to entering payment details incorrectly or issues during transaction processing.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the motel.is via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the motel.is refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with motel.is, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
