Premier Inn - Cancelling \ Refund.

Hi, We booked a 4 night \ 2 Room booking with premier inn to go to a friends wedding (In August)...

I booked 'knowingly' as a "Premier Saver - No amends or refunds "

But the wedding has been called off!!

I have been in contact but they are sticking to their guns! No Refunds. (We don't even mind changing to another location)

Any advice?

I paid via a credit card..

Thanks

    I can't see you getting anything back in this situation. If you knowingly chose the no amendments or refunds option then that's what they will hold you to.

    I don't think paying by credit card will make any difference. sorry

    Yep, this ^^^^^

    Is it somewhere you could go and have a nice weekend away anyway?

    So you took a chance and booked no refund accommodation because it was cheaper than the cost of accommodation that allowed a change or cancellation and now you want a refund! Why do you think it is cheaper? What do you think the terms and conditions mean?

    Your best bet would be to sue the people who cancelled the wedding.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I don't think you have much chance of a refund, travel insurance might have covered you but the T&Cs for Premier Inn Saver bookings are very clear.

    It's probably a useful warning to anyone booking accommodation to attend a wedding!
