Order messup

Hi,
I purchased something on my credit card last month, and there was a mix up on the retailers website.
Lets say that I purchased a "driving experience" in a Ferrari with 15 laps. When the purchase went through the order confirmation said I had purchased 10 laps instead - not 15.
The retailer admitted they were at fault due to a site issue. They then stated that to get the 5 additional laps I would have to purchase them. So I have to pay more money out despite them selling me 15 laps originally. In other words, the price I saw on their site for the 15 laps was wrong - this was the price for 10 laps.
Out of interest I'm just wondering what rights I actually have? Could I turn round and say they need to honor the 15 laps as they sold them to me originally?
To be fair to the retailer, the gift was non-refundable and they have offered me a full refund due to the mix up. I'm not planning to get all 'legal' and 'I have rights' on them, just wondering where I stand out of interest.
Thanks.

If they have offered a full refund, then that is all they need to do. Either take the 10 laps or the refund. You cannot insist they give you 15One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0
