My Refund experiences
It’s been a bit sad so I have kept away from the boards recently but I’ve come to terms with not going this year now. How I will feel on departure day is another matter!
Anyway, I thought I’d update on all refunds. BA - brilliant. Had a bad press but I can only speak for myself and they refunded without hassle. AirBnB - brilliant. Full refund even deposit. Had to wait until 30 days out though. But fair play. Homeaway - awkward as you deal directly with the homeowners. One in Disney (funtierland) have said it’s no problem to defer to next year so we have taken that option. But our beachside house in Malibu has been a tester! Wouldn’t let us defer so Kept $250 deposit for a start, then said couldn’t refund to card, wanted a wire transfer, sorted that but then got a dollar cheque refund through the post which we can’t cash! On going... Attraction Tix - Disney tickets have a expiry of Jan 22 and we plan to go October 21 so that will be OK ATD - universal tickets. Not too happy with them really. Wanted to keep deposit even though I have not downloaded tickets. Have offered a credit note which I will have to accept as it’s the only way of getting a refund. I’d prefer it if universal extended the expiry. So Universal is really my complaint here as ATD have only enforced their terms. Anyway, looking to re book later this year for next October. Sad, and I have to admit I never saw this coming. I was so confident that we would be going. But it just proves what my wife always says...I don’t know what I’m talking about! |

Thank you for the update and I hope you have just as fantastic a time when you go
Will your bank not cash the dollar cheque? Mine have done that before (there was a fee and the exchange rate was a bit rubbish but I got most of it back)

The cheque is in my wife’s name and she only has an account with Nationwide who do not have any FOREX capability. If it was in my name, I can do it through Lloyds.
Frustrating as we have had to open a new current account with Barclays just to cash a cheque! |

Update on the Malibu beach house.
We have finally got the wire transfer in my account, but still have a dollar cheque! So, moral dilemma... do i tear up the cheque or plead ignorance and cash it and see what happens? Ps: I’m about £125 down with deposits, commissions and exchange rates |
