Booking.com

I made a booking with Booking.com for a few days away in Barcelona in Oct, it was a non refundable one, quoted in Sterling but charged on the confirmation in Euros. No problem there, but when do you think they'll take payment? Unless the Euro is gonna nosedive I'd rather have the booking paid up in full.

I have used Booking.com many times. Usually when it is not refundable you're charged very soon after making the reservation. No offense, but are you sure your credit card has not been charged ? You can always send your booking reservation no. to them and ask.

I booked it on Saturday and have checked my cc since. The flights have been debited today, but not the hotel.

I can't see why you're worried. A fall in the value of the Euro would actually benefit you if you're being billed in Euros.

For example your booking might currently show £100 = €140.

If the value of the Euro fell by a half (and you were still billed in Euros) those figures would change to £50 = €140, so you'd only pay half as much!

That's why I'd rather pay now, I'm not confidentant that it will drop much more. I need to be able to budget my spends ;)

Confidentant? Lol. Is that even a word.
