Absolutely! I suggest you contact your credit card company and ask for a chargeback of £0.00 immediately!

No not God just someone with enough common sense to know where to draw the line.

You didn't PAY them £0.00 with your credit card. You provided them with your card details in order for them to apply for payment form the card company. There is a distinct difference.

Have they taken payment of £0.00 from your credit card? :rolleyes:

This transaction for £0.00 would have to appear on your statement for you to prove this.

If not, no contract has been formed.

ie...it was an obvious mistake. Move on.

There was however a thing on the BBC news site about a hotel in venice honouring a 1p hotel room error.

Intercontinental Hotels are, however, a massive company and no doubt placed this story with the news media themselves in order to get some free publicity.

All it has cost them is some extra laundry washing and a few toiletries in the bathroom. Everything else would be absorbed into their normal running costs, as the staff will already be getting paid.

Yes they are a massive group and yes they cn probably write off the cost as free advertising but they didn't have to honour the mistake.

Advice is what you got; it's no good having a hissy fit just because you don't like the advice you were given :rotfl:
