So a $10+$50 hotel is shown the same as a $60 hotel.. fine for me.It's just that the advertised price must include them
Junk fees haven't been banned. It's just that the advertised price must include them and none of this drip-feeding business.
The title of this thread is misleading. Junk fees haven't been banned. It's just that the advertised price must include them and none of this drip-feeding business.
It won't be difficult; Califonia already had regulated so from July this year with its "Honest Pricing Law"; which legislation requires businesses across all industries to include all mandatory fees in the advertised price of goods and services.It won’t be too hard for some chains to comply (eg. Marriott and IHG) who already have toggles that allow you to see inclusive pricing.

Though overturning of Chevron opens up the regulations to attack by lawsuits. Agencies making regulations based on the power the underlying legislation is one thing but increasing the Administrative State has taken over a lot of the functions of Congress and intepreting the enabling legislation in ways not forseen by Congress.As I understand it, it doesn’t require a vote

While you are correct (and as I said in the OP), the phrase “banning junk fees” was coined by the FTC themselves.
Considering the purpose of these fees were to hide some of the price, I think a lot of them will be gone when this is implemented.
Do you think the overall price of a room will drop or just be incorporated into the room rate though?
