The linked original article has an update saying they will refund the charge.

"Update May 9, 12:45 p.m. ET: After this story was published, Hertz informed The Drive that its Customer Care team would be "reaching out to Mr. Lee to apologize and will refund this erroneous charge.""

But I thought that they are "unable to provide an adjustment or refund since the service was provided and contract is closed."

It sounds like a common answer from Tier 1 support, to make you go away.

It doesn't really change the story. Them only giving back the money they took only after a journalist got involved is still slimy.

If a company doesn't offer a reason why it happened and how they are going to change policies, it's not a real resolution.

I tried some old phone photos from my grandparent's rural Canadian farm and it either got the province wrong or it guessed Montana or North Dakota.

Sora means sky in Japanese, their reasoning is akin to "the sky's the limit".

This is really cool, thanks. I was just using ctrl+f to find things. I've got like 1200+ words right now so I totally understand the unwieldy-ness.

Sometimes a ball gets stuck behind the paddle in your version.

There's a difference in flaunting and explaining or sharing. They've just laid out the steps they took in a clear manner and provided information about it all, assuming it might help other people in the same situation. They're not saying something like "I cheated the system and here's how" or "Look at how smart I am because of what I did".

I would liken it to tax evasion. It's not illegal, and I absolutely don't mind people doing it. But I'd not publicize it or write a whitepaper on how I am doing it.

Tax evasion is most definitely illegal. Tax avoidance is probably what you mean. While the two sound similar, they are very different.

elevatedastalt · 2024-01-28T02:04:55 1706407495

You're right, I meant tax avoidance.

'outstanding' is a judgement. seems the criteria people in this HN comment section have is not aligned with the arbiter of the visa (us gov, described by OP). Its not shady for the OP to publish exactly what he did and what result he got, and I don't see any shady actions in his write up
