Tui - Installments

If booking via Tui inside their store, can I pay in instalments? Or only if I book online?

  • Pick up a phone, call them and ask !
  • At 4am....nice one
  • Perhaps you should stop assuming that everyone works the same hours you do. Some people like me are working 10pm until 8am in the morning. I get home at 9am. Do you think I’m going to call up and sit on hold for 30 minutes? I think the heck not! I’m going to sleep and waking up at 5pm. Most call centres close that time. Hence I ask my questions on the forum as its more convenient.

    If you are not the type to help others on the forum, then you are on the wrong damn site.

    Rant over.

    Do you really think you'd be on hold for 30 minutes if you rang your local TUI store at 9am as they open?
    It's not a call centre.
    They have geographical numbers.
    I'd bet you'll get straight through to an advisor who will be able to answer your 'yes'/'no' question in seconds and you'll be in bed 5 minutes after picking the phone up.

    Or check the closing times.
    I'd be surprised if they weren't open until 5:30 pm.

    This is not ‘Alexa’ or another such search engine.

    A politely worded question and some respect for others on this forum will likely gain you more helpful answers.

    Even when talking to Alexa I would be more polite than this!

    So far the OP has asked for recommendations for holiday destinations, whether TUI holidays are cheaper in the Coop or via TUI direct and about TUI installments.

    They seem to ignore the advice given and are also quite rude. Given booking with TUI online is very easy - and its also easy to browse holidays and read reviews of resorts on Tripadvisor we've shown an immense amount of patience. Yet still they persist with being rude.

    This might help ?

    It's not clear, to me at least, if this is for both online and shop bookings, or only the former.

    If you want to to spread the cost for a shop booking then there is also a straightforward DIY solution.

    Open a separate dedicated bank savings account and fund it monthly (or whatever frequency suits your circumstances) by standing order - then by the due date for settlement you'll have the sum required.

    Best done with a bank which has a local branch so you have convenient immediate "hands on" access to your money when required.
