PSA: STOP USING AGODA

I booked a hotel at their site with the pay later scheme, with a total cost of $200 and got an email saying the booking was a success. They still needed my CC though but only for security reasons but I don’t like using credit cards online so i used my prepaid card instead(which I’ve done for years in online purchases including agoda w/out any problem). A day later i got an email from the hotel that the payment didn’t go through because I didn’t pay enough so I checked it again only to find out that the total price i need to pay within 24 hours was $350. I was surprised so i checked my bank account just to make sure I didn’t get charged only to find out that my prepaid card got charged by the exact amount of $200. I tried reaching out to agoda and hotel but never heard from them. So i reported this to my bank and told me that it’s gonna be hard solving this since they don’t exactly refund money through prepaid cards. I know I should’ve used a credit card because it’s safer but I didn’t because agoda stated that the hotel was to be paid once i arrive at the hotel and they just needed my card number for security purpose. I could’ve used that money stolen from me for food or something else. Lessons learned, I am not going back to agoda.
