BYU2ATM Walk-on
We used VRBO for a place in Austin for the Texas game. Owner canceled on us
last minute so we rebooked through their guarantee and they offered up to twice our original booking. However, when it came time to reimburse us the difference they made a math error that incorrectly shorted us our reimbursement. I pointed this out and and got a reply saying the offer was final and if we continued to "argue" they would reimburse us nothing. I called their customer service line and was eventually put through to a manager who understood and acknowledged that a math error was present, but was told the manager would talk to the reimbursement team and explain the situation - I couldn't talk to them myself. A few days later, another email from reimbursement letting me know that my claim had been revisited, their original offer was still our only option, and that since I had continued to argue and escalate the case was now closed, but if I wanted the original reimbursement with acknowledgment that we accepted it as correct they would reopen it and still pay that.

The math error only amounted to about $50, so it wasn't worth fighting out further and I took the incorrect amount. But I was still shocked that they refused to acknowledge a math error but chose instead to threaten me with the complete loss of the reimbursement if I didn't take their incorrect amount. Glad you've never had a problem, but if you ever do, I hope they treat you better than me. Definitely one of the poorest customer service experiences I've ever had and will not use them again.
