so, signed up for a marathon via active this week. marathon website says $70. through active though, i'm charged $60. i think that's pretty cool - maybe they are giving a discount to early people, maybe there was a typo on the website, whatever. $60, cool.
then i get an email today from the race director saying, oh, sorry, that was a mistake by active. we went ahead and charged your card an additional $10.65 today.
so....i would have paid the $70 either way, but i think it's a little unethical for active to say, oh, sorry, we screwed up when we told you our price, so we just kept your credit card number and charged you again. i authorized $60. at a particular time. couple days later...new charge. what's to keep active from saying, oh, hey, we saw you're signed up for imaz and thought you might want to go to the carbo dinner, so we went ahead and charged your card we kept on file.
i'm sure i'm just crabby from having a crappy run today. but it kind of irks me. stupid?
