Posts: 574An LA Cafe girl that occasionally sends selfies or memes is barking on WhatsApp that she might be out of work for 2 months can I be her wire transfer sponsor and she'll pay me back (no specifics of $ or services).
If I was made of $$$ I'd think about it but I'm not made of $$$ plus I'm kinda hurting at home too.
This is a first for me.

If the Chinese government were lying and this social behaviour was carrying on, the country would be on its knees by now.

Posts: 270Data clarity
True M. AD,
Realizing the extent of the impact of CORONAVIRUS in the US right now, it is unthinkable that the number of deaths could be as low as it is in China.
Noting that data transparency is not necessarily an obligation, I would give a rough estimate as "much more the the numbers in the current US"!
Be safe friends.
Victor.

I know I couldn't get there even if I wanted to and regardless of their VOA situation.

Also with roads closed and no transportation for farmers to send their products to markets, we will soon see a complete breakdown in the docile system.
Hope I am completely wrong but I don't see any solutions.

Posts: 3230Visas
I'd seriously advise anyone thinking of booking for the Philippines in the next few months to wait and see what the decree is about visas.
At present I believe only PH passport holders and permanent residents (39 A visa holders and others) can enter the country once the restrictions are lifted on or after April 14.
I have a 39 A and a booking to return on April 17 and my travel agent asked for a scanned copy of my permanent ICR card to assure that I wouldn't be bumped off the April 17 flight.
Wait and see when BoI advises that visas-on-arrival (tourist visas) are again being issued.
For those getting the run-around with Agoda, Hotels.com has an option to get full refund on cancellation; part refund on cancellation or no refund. The prices correlate with the options so choose your own risk level.

Posts: 3281I am an Agoda VIP whatever that means. For some unknown reason I like to make all bookings hotel, airline, trips etc well in advance. Never had a problem before. Situations like what is happening now upends most plans.
Here on I will book hotels just a few days before going. There is not much difference in prices. Actually sometimes it goes down. I have tried using Agoda price matching guarantee with no clear progress. For my last trip I got refunds only after I called Agoda USA hotline. Initially they say it is already paid for and no refunds. I kept at it and sooner or later I found an sympathetic agent and she arranged my refund after put on hold for a long time. This trip one hotel in Bangkok absolutely refused refund. But I am complato Agoda and hopefully get some Agoda bucks to be used for next booking.
Airline bookings are easier under current situation to get a refund. Air Asia known for stiffing you gave me credit for funds to be used for next booking. Well, Air Asia is the cheapest airline anyway in terms of fares. It is always better to book air tickets six months in advance to get the best fares trans continental.

Posts: 159Agoda
I just had my go-around with Agoda. On a prepaid, no refund, reservation at Shangri-La in Jakarta.
Here is how it worked for me:
1. I emailed Shangri-La first and they replied in a day that because of Corona they would honor a full refund, but I had to go thru Agoda for the refund.
2. I had 2 email exchanges and a phone call with Agoda. No result.
3. I received a 3rd email from Agoda asking for a copy of the Shangri-La refund email.
4. After sending a copy of the S-L email to Agoda, I got a full refund in less than 24 hours (has yet to post to my CC).
GOOD LUCK.
