Booking corporate housing (temporary furnished apartments) is like renting an apartment and the same kind of information is required, including financials. The billing period is also very similar to renting an apartment which is per day rather than like a hotel which is per night. This is a corporate housing industry standard and I am sorry that you did not understand or agree with it.

We would welcome the opportunity to accommodate you and feel confident you will enjoy your stay with us if you so choose. However, as we indicated today, if you prefer to cancel, at no penalty, we can have the charge reversed on your credit card.

I apologize for any inconvenience. Please feel free to contact me personally if you have any other questions or comments.

interestingly, FQ’s initials are just that - “Fukyu”!!!!

that should’ve been a sign right there

In any event, although this will look bad on their part, I highly doubt it would put a huge dent in their business. Not to defend them but even bad PR (publicity) can be an advantage depending on how you want to look at it.

These Furnished Quarters idiots obviously don’t understand the internet enough to know that they are screwing themselves. Not only should they have had better customer service, which now the world will know, but the whole fake comment thing just makes them look even shadier. Regardless of whatever their insane policies are, or they claim to be, they made a mistake being asshats and not doing what was needed to take care of the customer.

The would have had full time bloggers spending time there for a whole month and probably getting some decent free, and positive, advertisement because of that. Now regardless if you stay there or not they have ruined their reputation and with you blogging about it and john blogging about it you can be sure that hundreds of thousands of people will see it over the weeks and even more over time. When anyone searches for Furnished Quarters online guess what sites will come up lol. Yep, all these post and John blog talking about how they screwed you and have been playing silly games rather than taking care of a customer. Now everyone that ever searches for them will see the negatives right away. Did they think about that? Obviously not but eventually they will realize they just got a huge free advertising campaign that will last for years only it won’t help them and will drive potential customers away. Give it a couple weeks when John is indexed, this blog is indexed and all the various bloggers that read John start blogging about it.

Congrats on screwing up potential business for years to come Furnished Quarters. If you would have just taken the time to take care of the customers needs rather than go play “dress up” online you may have had the complete opposite situation.

They would have been the heroes, you would have been happy and we all could have held hands and sang “kumbiya”. This is a perfect example of using a negative to become a positive.

Takes all kinds.
