They booked me 3 days later. I would have incurred $900 in hotel expenses if I had waited the 3 days since there is no other hotel on the island.
I really think this falls on United. They booked the flight. The rebooked the flight. I have a United confirmation number.
Unfortunately I used my Citi Premier pts to buy the United/Silver flight. Citi offers no trip insurance. I'm going to use up my pts and close this card soon. Really good earning card but bad service. eg they've declined my card for gas on the other part of town etc. And no travel benefits.
I used UA pts for the in country flights but did pay the tax with my United Infinite card so I have filed a claim with them.
I'm going to file a claim with Sliver but I don't expect anything from them. My understanding is they are circling the drain. Do no fly this airline.
I used my Hilton Aspire card for the hotel. It's their top card so it does have some travel benefits but from what I can see reading the terms they only cover things related to the hotel but I will contact them.
I do have an AMEX Plat which usually will cover if you booked any portion of your trip on your plat. I did use this card to pay for the ferry from the airstrip on Bimini to the hotel so Ill try to file with them.
