If you're a bargain hunter, there's nothing more satisfying than scoring a great deal.  That is, unless it's so good that a business REFUSES TO HONOR IT.

A traveler online says that they booked a hotel for an international trip through Expedia, and got a great price.  But then the hotel called them directly . . . and asked them to cancel it, because the rate was "too low."

The traveler went back to Expedia, and was told the booking is confirmed and that the hotel should honor it, as long as the traveler DOESN'T CANCEL. 

But the hotel ignored that, and said that if the traveler didn't cancel, they'd refuse to accommodate them when they showed up.

Naturally, a lot of people told the traveler NOT to cancel.  But since it's an international trip to the Middle East, the person didn't feel comfortable having a booking with a HOSTILE HOTEL.

So they decided to cancel.

Expedia reimbursed the traveler, and gave them a bonus credit for the hassle.  We assume the traveler found another hotel . . . and that Expedia may nix their relationship with the original place.

In a statement to Fox News, Expedia said, "If a partner consistently provides a poor traveler experience, we investigate and address the issue directly."
