Do not trust orbitz with your credit card information!!! I purchased a round trip airline ticket to San Antonio TX from Charleston WV by using Orbitz online. They are a large and well known company and I figured there would be no problem. I could not have been more wrong. I gave them my credit card information. On the very next credit card statement there were nine (9) charges for airline tickets all over the world!!! Mainly the Middle East. (I am not Middle Eastern nor do I personally know anyone who is) They (or someone they shared my credit card info with) completely tapped a $10,000.00 credit limit and tried to do more before they were stopped my the credit card company. Thank God it wasn't my debit card. When I called Orbitz they said "oh you will have to call the airlines direct"..."we didn't run those charges through... The airline did". I had to have the credit card cancelled and filed a dispute. Then I did a litlle research and discovered this happens all the time. There are hundreds of complaints out there on the web and it sounds like the same routine all the time. *BEWARE* Think long and hard before sharing your credit card information with ORBITZ. You could be very sorry you did.
