Wife took her parents o Marion,IL for a wedding and they were coming home today. So I go the bright idea I"d meet them over in Memphis (140 miles 1 way)for lunch & wife could ride back with me since her mom & dad could drive I22 home no towns nothing just a str8 shot..We meet at Backyard Bugers in South Haven/ Olive Branch MS have lunch and the skies OPEN UP and rained for 45 minutes to hr so it was nice to be inside. Rain finally stopped & there four couples leaving when we did & lo & behold 2 couples road so we struck up a conversation & they told us there was a wreck just up on I22 & told us how to go around it... Some of you know I was to start a NEW job the 30th.... WRONG... I start in the morning..so WISH me luck , & if you are ever in the area PLEASE stop by and see me at MOTORSPORTSUPERSTORE In Hamilton, AL....

Now I have done this before and have never had an issue. But I got to know, am I doing it wrong? First I stayed at the Frontier Motel in Marquette, Iowa and asked the manager if I could hold a block of 8 rooms for a while cause I was having a ride. He told me YES he would hold them, I asked how long "HE SAID TILL 5-14-11" (Ride was on 5-21-11). I said that would be fine what ever did not get called on he would then "sell / rent" . On the 21st two couples call motel from the M&E and ask for rooms "Manager" ask if they were with me, couples ask my name and say YES we are with Bryan. Manager say that is the last two rooms he has. We get to motel and "Manager" is pissed that I did not call to cancel extra rooms??? (To my understanding he was to rent them after the 14th so why would I call? If that was not enough earlier call from other couples said that WAS LAST TWO ROOMS? SO again, why call?") And he didn't even give the two couples any of "my" rooms even when HE asked and they said YES they are with me! Anyway after we all headed home Sunday I get a call from "Shazam" debit card corporation saying there are "MANY" charges from said motel starting at $390.00 and going down $20.00 after each charge is denied. I am asked if these charges are real to which I say NO! I only owe for ONE room at $73.50. (Which I fully intend to pay, I did stay there and I am NOT trying to get out of my dept.) Monday I go to my bank and tell them the whole story they check it out and I now have a total of 14 charges from said motel. (I only put so much money in this account so I don't get burned, to bad.) My bank is cool with it and says HE is wrong but they want to cancel my card and issue a new one. NO CHARGE, which I did not argue with. My question is did I do something wrong? Any other time I have done this if I was told they would hold to a specific date then after that date rooms were gone and I did not have to call. Is that how it is suppose to work? Just thought there maybe a motel / hotel owner here that could tell me proper way I should have handled it?? Thank you , Bryan
