Malaysian Airlines website. I was trying to buy a return ticket to Hong Kong. I entered my credit card details, clicked next and received an email saying I've bought the ticket..... to Kuala Lumpur. It's probably that I entered the wrong destination but, for a plane ticket, why is there no confirmation page!? I called them up and they said it'll cost $150 to fix it.

Off-topic but: what is your recourse here? Can you cancel the charge at your CC company? What's the impact of doing that?

It's my dad's credit card; He says he hasn't been robbed so how can he cancel the charge? Also, the wrong ticket I bought very clearly stated "This is a discount ticket, it cannot be changed or refunded." I feel lucky they even let me to change it for $150.
