Wowcher Mystery Holiday Refund Query

Hello!

I purchased a mystery holiday deal through wowcher for £99 back in June. I have had booked for the start of January but was called today by weekender breaks to inform me that my flight was now cancelled (not entirely sure it existed in the first place). They were unable to find alternatives, so offered a full refund and asked me to approach wowcher for the voucher refund.

If anybody has been in this situation before, is it possible to get a cash refund? It states any refunds over 14 days (on unwanted items) get credit but I signed up purely to get the holiday deal and have no interest in £200 of credit for wowcher.

    Surely weekender should be refunding the £99 back to you. As they will have got that money from Wowcher.

    Your contract is with Wowcher.

    As they sold you something that did not exist, they need to refund your original payment method. Do NOT let them fob you off with a voucher!!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Wowcher take a cut, so they wouldn’t get £99 - that’s how Wowcher make their money.
