Cancel travelodge room - claim back from credit card ?

jak1708

Hi all

We booked 7 SAVER rooms for a wedding later this year with travelodge.

We didn't take travelodges cancellation insurance and becuase its a saver room weve been told we can only amend the booking date not the location.

Is there any way of getting our money back ? maybe through claiming off the credit card it was paid on ?

thanks

No. The CC company will not be interested as it's your failure to go through with the booking, not a failure on the part of Travelodge.

Why on earth should the creditcard company bail you out because you failed to take out insurance ? Travelodge offer two prices -non refundable saver prices and more expensive flexible reservations. You chose the inflexible option so the responsibility will be considered yours. If the wedding is now cancelled perhaps you should attempt to claim back from the wedding party's wedding insurance.

Why not go and just have a couple of days just for the hell of it.

My OH and I often do this.

Saver rooms are priced as the are because it takes into account that you can't cancel them. It's a condition of booking, so you'll have to live with it... as Duchy has already said.

I've never heard of any way round it, and I'm sure you can't even change the names either so no good selling to anyone else.

You could maybe try selling them. It's probably against Travelodge T&Cs but I've stayed there loads of times and never been asked to provide the credit card that I booked with or any sort of proof of who I am.

and they could invite some M S e'rs to use the other rooms for a get together :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T Please!:rotfl:

The trouble with selling them on is that the new ones could trash the room, smoke in it etc and the OP would get the bill.

Give/sell it to friends/family but no one else.
