Buying something at a price you thought was good just to see the price drop a few weeks or even days later is surely one of life's most frustrating experiences. It's no less frustrating when it comes to booking travel, such as a hotel reservation. Well never fear, new booking site Tingo gives you an automatic refund if the price of your hotel drops.
From the folks of Smarter Travel Media, Tingo has a huge selection of hotels worldwide. Simply find one with the "Money Back" logo that meets your criteria, book and then sit back. The folks at Tingo will keep watch over prices. If the price of your hotel drops, they'll rebook you at the lower rate no questions asked. They'll send you an e-mail alerting you of the price drop and your credit card will be credited with the refund a few days after check out.
A recent search for a hotel in San Francisco checking in May 25 and checking out May 27, 2012 pulled up a listing of 170 properties. A pop up declared that 126 San Francisco hotels had an average price drop of $44.41 in 30 days.
According to travel watchdog George Hobica, it's really a win-win situation. "Why would consumers book hotel rooms any other way, everything else being equal? You really can't lose, since there's a one-in-three chance your hotel price will drop an average of $36 on a two-night stay, he said in a press release.
There are already some other sites that guarantee you the lowest rate when booking travel. When booking a car rental on AutoSlash.com, the site automatically inserts applicable coupon codes to your reservation to get you the best deal. If the price drops afterwards, they'll automatically cancel your reservation and rebook you at the lower price. Unfortunately, many of the major car rental companies, after apparently not liking AutoSlash.com's price hunting for consumers, have recently opted out of appearing on the site. They may change course in the future so there's still hope for AutoSlash.com.
If you're a frequent flyer, you may want to look into travel organizer TripIt. "The essential to budget travel is to approach in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Considering and spending our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Curbing consuming and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is incredibly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". Their TripIt Pro service, at $49 per year, monitors airfare for lower fare. If the fare drops low enough for you to get a refund per the airline's rules, they'll send you an alert providing the instructions on how to contact the airline for the refund.
