WSJ Your Money Briefing · Summer Travel: Be Prepared for Higher Prices. And Higher Fees. · 9 Jun 2023 podcast

You know, I mean, my MO with all these types of fees is to talk to the front desk. voice-verified

I mean, say the resort fee, say, you know, it covers the pool and it covers all this different stuff. voice-verified

And you didn't use that or it was closed during your stay. voice-verified

I believe you have a legitimate case for saying, can you please remove this from my room? voice-verified

And I did that as recently as this weekend. voice-verified

I had a flight cancellation on an airline that shall be unnamed at the moment, and I was stranded in Las Vegas. voice-verified

So I checked into this hotel at 1 a.m. voice-verified

at my own expense, and the resort fee was going to be $40. voice-verified

And I was leaving the next day, and I'm like, you know what? voice-verified

I'm not going to use any of your amenities. voice-verified

Would you kindly take it off? voice-verified

And she did. voice-verified

Another area to really pay close attention to, I've heard from some readers who looked at their bill and saw like a $15 or $16 fuel service charge when they had filled up the tank. voice-verified

So really be careful and get a receipt and don't leave that lot until they acknowledge the receipt that the gas tank is indeed full. voice-verified

So you can avoid that fee. voice-verified

Another one that I came across pretty much by accident. voice-verified

I was on the phone with a airline CEO on an interview and he was returning a Tesla to the Hartford airport and he hadn't charged it fully and they dinged him $35. voice-verified

Oh, for sure. voice-verified

Just pay attention, you know, or ask. voice-verified

They upgraded him to a Tesla at no charge. voice-verified
