Booking.com problems

Time of past OR future Camino
April 2024 Camino Portuguese
Not sure where to place this. Something is wrong with BOOKING.COM. It has locked me out of my account both thru the app and online. I made ALL OF OUR RESERVATIONS (starting next week) thru them. I have tried for a week - no tech support so I have to enter a confirmation and PIN numbers - to try to get to someone. They know there is a “problem” and can’t say when it will be fixed. Thank God I printed off all my reservations.
I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!!
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I have just been on, and it seems to be working okay now. I can understand how annoying this might be, but I also accept that this happens from time to time. Sometimes it is the price we pay for working online, albeit that Murphy makes sure we pay the price at the most inconvenient time.

As a matter of practice, I try and have my reservation details for flights, trains, accommodation, concerts, etc in at least one other place than the booking engine that I used. My go to travel planner is Tripit, but there are others, and these things are improving all the time. As well, I save any PDF tickets that are sent to me, or print any email I might need to a PDF. These are saved on my phone and 'starred' so that they are saved in my Adobe offline storage as well, and can then be accessed by other devices.

Perhaps someone has tried to hack your account to get at your payment details. That might result in everything being locked. Hopefully you can access your confirmation emails and good you had printed too.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
I had good luck with their phone support +1 (888) 850-3958
