    Thankyou so much, just what i needed and more than likely, (would be stupid and very blonde if i didnt) will go ahead with it...ultimate saving...easyjet price...3,900 all inc for 4 of us, thomas cook, 1900, has to be a great deal :T should be a cashback of 4k if im doing it right :o
    edit...just saw the 7 days maximum :-(

    Could I be really cheeky and ask what hotel it was ??

    i was promised a refund after 5 days, been 2 weeks now. easyjethotels owe me £900 this month. boo hooo yay!

    Thought I'd just let you know that I got confirmation e-mail saying they will refund double the difference. Hurrah - now onto the next. Does anyone know if they are bookin a second hotel whether they are only allowed to claim in one calendr month or not. I booked approx 12 Jan and would like to book soon as i really believe that this offer will be stopped.

    Hi Joolz, have you received your confirmation before your trip or after ? You mentioned that you were to go to Barcelona last weekend ?
    I am just a bit worried as I still haven't received my confirmation and is only 4 days to go- or I'll need to cancel :(...

    Got the standard e-mail before I went saying that they would be sending the claim to head office, came back from Barcelona on Sunday, hassled them today a bit and then got confirmation that I would be getting a full refund so don't worry about it if you haven't got it before you go.

    Hope you had just as good a time in Barcelona as we did, so you think I should be OK to book again even though I booked the first one about 20 days ago. A big thanks for this thread.
  • Great post...have booked Barcelona hotel in March through Hotelopia for £354....checked Alpharoms and got quoted £223. Email off and got the standard "passed to head office" That was 3 weeks ago, still no confirmation, just called and said head office had'nt replied yet and for me to wait for an email....just how long does it take them???? :mad: :mad: :mad:
