The first one was to my bank. There was a miscommunication between myself, my bank and Paypal and I was charged a $50 fee. I called my bank and explained the situation and they refunded me the $50 fee they charged. Most banks will waive one fee from your account. I know Chase waives one fee per year. So if you have any type of fee on your account, give your bank a call and see if they will waive it.
The second call I made was to a hotel we had "Web Only NO cancellation" reservation at. Our plans changed and we can no longer use the reservation. Because I bought the discounted rate online they can not refund me the $130.00 (total for 2 nights). I called this morning and talked to a manager and he said "We can't cancel the reservation, but we can change the date to anytime this year." AWESOME!!! I seriously thought all hope was gone on this one. So I pushed the reservation back to October and now we have a fall trip planned!
Moral of the story is........IT NEVER HURTS TO ASK.
:) Great Job! And you get another vacation out of it.
