Nonrefundable booking on booking.com
Hello Blind team By mistake I ended up booking a non refundable hotel worth 3000usd on booking.Com for Paris. It was solely meant for visa application purposes so I m not actually planning to visit on those days. Is there anyway I can still get refund? The reservation is one month apart from now but still Hyatt hotel and booking.com is not very keen to help. I purchased this with amex platinum card which do not offer any travel insurance. Is there any way I can buy a third party insurance now and claim it on some medical ground last minute?

Insurance fraud is always a great idea!
Yeah dont do this, it would be a lame move.
Just make a vacation out of it?
Call booking support, they call the property and do some form of negotiation. They might talk down that 3k to somethibg like 200$ or 0, depending on what the property says
To negotiate, you need leverage. What's OPs leverage?
Leverage is not always necessary. Op said there is 1month still, hotel can cancel and book it for someone else. I know because i had to do similar thing for some reservation i could not use just last week.
Was this the Park Hyatt?
Looks like you’re going on a trip
You did something to help you lie, and now you want help lying more?
maybe you should just take the trip and something magical will happen with your partner OR you will meet someone. and then it will turn into a lovely story and be a hilarious memory to retell to your grandchildren.
Ignore the moral and ethics lecture being given in comments above. People, companies cheat and do fraud to the tune of millions and billions. Govt. is giving away your medical deducted from paycheck to leechers. Yes you can buy third party insurance within even a week before flying. Claim medical ground. Just visit a doctor with twisted ankle few days prior with unable to fly. I know my comment will get backlash. But we are being cheated everyday by ins. companies all the time. In a bigger picture it all evens out. Next time buy free cancellation booking. If you can afford 3000USd nonrefund..you can afford few hundred more
Maybe check out https://www.roomertravel.com/. Idk if you can sell your booking, but worth a shot.
Either you’re trolling or.....
I am not trolling.
