好奇怪
前些日子在koreanair买了机票，信用卡hold了800多块。然后他们也发了e-ticket
现在突然发现，信用卡hold的那部分钱又返给我了，也就是信用卡上一分钱没花
这是怎么回事？
他们家规矩比较奇特，要求checkin时一定要带买票用的信用卡和打印的e-ticket
难道是在开始行程以后才收我钱？
有没有人以前买过他家票的，给说一说

去年底买的房，property tax应该只交了一个月的。在closing statement上，好像是
在charge的一项列了半年的数目，然后在credit的一项又退了多算得部分。结果在CPA
给填的报税表中就列了那个半年的property tax的数目。
我有必要指出来么？估计很有可能就混过去了，能多退不少呢。查出来也应该是CPA的
责任吧？既然是他签字的。
