Today I asked the Steigenberger Hotel Amsterdam again (after more than four weeks of silence) when they will send me the response to my request and they informed me that they have no records of the money they still owe me. I send them all information I have, but they still ask for more.
WTF?
Yesterday Vil received his FIRST REGULAR payment on his bank account and, YOU F***NG GUESS IT, something went wrong.
Vil got only HALF of his payment. He received a payslip from HR and there is his March payment he fought so hard for, marked as advance and deducted in April. WTF?! You might think. Now we have financial chaos all over.
Still missing money from Steigenberger directly, then the payment for the Steigenberger room from the relocation company and at last the March “advance” payment they deducted in April.
Hey guys, …. slowly it gets really funny.
Wow,
yesterday the lock on Vil’s credit card was finally released and the money came back to Vil’s account, but unfortunately, Steigenberger took another 480 Euro on whatever reason at the same time and somehow exceeded the maximum usage limit of Vil’s credit card, so we are still broke.
WTF?
Steigenberger….. Don’t you have your papers in order?
The last days Vil exchanged several emails with the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Amsterdam and in the end nothing changed. The money is still somewhere in the digital space, but not on Vil’s account and aditionally there are bookings in Vil’s side which has no counterpart in the Steigenberger system.
Still broke…
Well, you might think that a hotel like the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Amsterdam has its procedures in place and that you can enjoy hospitality and good food there. Well, actually the food is very good and tasty, the bed is ok as well, even free fresh fruit everywhere, BUT… (…you remember, there’s always a BUT with us!): WHY THE FUCK WE NEED TO PAY 1.200 EURO? Well, we didn’t need to pay 1.200 Euro for the room, BUT (… again a BUT!) you maxed out Vil’s credit card, despite the fact that Vil told you that his company will pay.
You charged Vil around 640 Euro “security deposit” you never returned (we are still waiting) AND you billed him another 500 Euro for the room itself, because you f***cked up when “unlock” the card.
Last weekend was Easter Weekend and thanks to you we saved a lot of money on drinks, party and food, because we had none! 🙂
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrowl!
This morning left the temporary housing because our thirty days are up and we were supposed to move to a hotel near to the airport, so we packed all our stuff called a taxi and we were on our way.
Sheraton Airport Hotel, what a complete waste of money. For one night in the hotel, we could have booked and paid via Airbnb for a whole week or even two. Anyway, they booked the room for us, so we went to the hotel and tried to check in. “TRIED!”
Do you smell shit? YESSSS, right…… THERE IS NO BOOKING.
Ok, many calls later Vil figured out that the hotel was never booked, that the hotel is booked out and that we need to wait for settle service to come back to us…… So the wait begun. Two hours later we’ve got an update, that they are still looking for a room, but there is none at the airport, all booked out.
So we went to have food. A Big Mac, fries, drink, coffee and a smoke later we got another update, that they are still on the search. Allrite,……
Another coffee, a cookie and a long walk later, we finally got the call that we need to go to the Steigenberger hotel. Fine, and there is a shuttle bus from the Airport to the hotel every thirty minutes. Jupieeeeee, we have a place, but Vil is freezing his arse off after hours in the cold and that’s no good.
Shuttle bus to the hotel and all is fine. A nice room, a real shower, and a comfortable bed. SUPER! 🙂 We slept very well and the breakfast was a treat.
Actually, our stay was planned for two days, but we got the confirmation that we can move to Haarlem today, so we packed our stuff….., BUT …. there is always a BUT!
Vil had his very nice breakfast, all stuff packed, we wanted to check out, but it was not possible, because the Steigenberger Hotel “locked” somehow more then 690 Euro on Vil’s credit card and to remove that lock he needs to pay his bill of 690 Euro first? What bill? What the f***rick lock,…. BUT Vil had no additional 690 Euro on his credit card anymore. Maxed out by Steigenberger.
So he needed to sign a paper that he allows Steigenberger to “later bill” Vil again. Let’s summarize the situation. The relocation service only booked a room for Vil, but they didn’t arrange the payment and Steigenberger DOUBLE booked the bill on Vil’s credit card. More then 900 Euro already gone, another 240 Euro to be billed and we are BROKE AGAIN! WTF!
So we were finally allowed to leave, take a taxi, drive to Haarlem, payed the last 65 Euro fare and moved into our new place.
Sure, Vil will get all the expenses back, but until then we are forced to safe money. LoL! Actually not a bad thing, because we have enough money for food for the next days, BUT…… there’s always a BUT,…. Vil has no idea how to pay the train to work.
He, he, he….
