Complaint
On April **, 2016, I asked CheapOAir to process my refund. On April **, they immediately charged my credit card $100 and told me to wait 1-2 billing statements to receive my refund. After waiting 2 billing statements, I have still not received my refund. Upon asking again, I found they have never...
processed the request and are asking for an additional 60 days, delaying from their initial process.
Desired Resolution
CheapOAir should immediately process the refund promised as requested due to significant delays.

This is in response to
the complaint we received regarding the above case...
number. In his
complaint [redacted] is requesting that we honor a sold out fare.
It might help to explain
a little how we work. We are a travel
agency, simply stated we are agents for the airlines. We do not create the airfare, the schedules
or have any control over airfare or schedule changes. As we allow clients to access hundreds of
thousands of flights and fares, so does every other on-line travel agency
worldwide. Basically, this means that
anyone with a smart phone or internet connection has access to these flights
and therefore seats and airfares can sell out quickly and it may take the
airline anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks to update their availability on
sold out fares and flights.
As listed in our Terms
and Conditions: All offers, prices, and conditions of sale may be subject to
change without notice.
We appreciate the time
and attention your office has given to this matter.
Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

RE: [redacted]/Rebuttal Case [redacted] Booking Number [redacted]
Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the rebuttal we received regarding the above referenced booking
number.
Due to the operational needs of each airline, changes are often
made to the flights that they are currently operating. Often these changes are
a prediction of travel needs for a future dates but can also reflect same day
changes. Types of changes could be: flight number changes, time changes,
routing, date changes and or cancellations. Cancellations include when an
airline has stopped or temporarily canceled service to certain cities, or
stopped service on certain days of the week. Once this information is received further we will than
know how to better respond to his request.
CheapOair
does not assume any liability whatsoever for
cancelled flights, flights that are missed, or flights not connecting due to
any scheduled changes made by the airlines.
As
stated in our original letter dated May [redacted] has been
contacted by one of our customer care representative based on his concerns. [redacted] has advised that on his behalf she has contacted the airline
requesting information as to when and why [redacted]’s flight was cancelled out
of [redacted] Airport and was rebooked out of [redacted] Airport.
We regret any confusion encountered by [redacted] and to please allow
the airline time to respond to our request.
Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
In their answer, CheapOair conveniently forgets to mention their false claim: "An incorrect phone number is on file for you at your banking institution that you used to make a purchase from us, as we informed you in our recent conversation. " I have proof of this in my inbox, and will gladly provide this proof when required.The claim is false for the following reasons: A) They never contacted my banking institution (I verified this with the banking institution), and B) My banking institution has my correct phone number on file (again verified with the banking institution).CheapOair, in their answer to you, claims that "we tried to do this with his bank, but a conference call was needed". Not only is this statement a non sequitur (look it up on Google if you don't know what that is), it is also a confirmation of their lie. Their statement suggests that they tried to contact my banking institution, and failed, and that therefore a conference call was needed. My question then is: if they failed to actually make contact with my banking institution, then how can they claim that my banking institution does not have my correct phone number on file? I'm truly curious to know where they obtained the information, which, I'll mention it again, is demonstrably false. My banking institution will confirm this if required.I also do not understand the need for a conference call; I do not see how my phone number should be the magic number that all of a sudden then confirms my credit card is real (the banking institution itself has very different ways of confirming that I am who I say I am).I highly question this statement of theirs as well: "Because it was an international address using an international credit card, we, of course, needed to verify some information". [redacted] is an international company and I'm baffled that CheapOair should be so surprised that credit cards are used internationally.
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

number. In his complaint he is requesting
a refund for a partially used ticket.
On May *, 2014, [redacted] or someone on his behalf went on our website and
submitted a round trip reservation from Shanghai, China to Seattle, Washington. The reservation was booked without the
assistance of one of our customer care agents and it is the responsibility of
the person making the reservation to make sure they read all necessary and
important information.
Please
understand that we are a travel agency, simply stated we are agents for the
airlines. We do not create airline rules
or restrictions. Based on the airlines policy
listed under fare restrictions the “MAXIMUM STAY FOR
ROUND TRIP FARES TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO LATER THAN 12 MONTHS

May *, 2015.
This

I stay firm in my complaint against you that you have used unethical business practices at the time of me booking my plane ticket on November ** 2014. This was a special trip I had saved for and it was a trip for my myself and my daughter then [redacted] years old to meet her grandmother for the first time.I called this booking service at several occasions raising my concerns about the booking policies and I was assudre several times I would be able to book my ticket without penalties. I further explained that I would not like to book a return ticket as my return date would be unknown as there would be construction and restoration of my home and my date of return needed to be flexible and I was in the conversation still assured that if I made my booking thru the service I would be able to change it. I was not informed of exorbitant fees that would exceed the actual ticket vaue!I would simply say I was coerced to make the booking with the knowledge that the company later on would be able to collect exorbitant fees or let alone force me to purchase another ticket, which I was forced to do.The response from [redacted] was most uncomfortable as the company clearly understood their legal mistake in offering of my ticket but tried to send me forms and email correspondance further coercing me to dissolve the dispute in a destitute and illegal manner.I am not going to dissolve this issue unless I have my full fund of my return tickets releases and resolved along with apology from [redacted].Thankfully,[redacted]

On April **, 2016, I asked CheapOAir to process my refund. On April **, they immediately charged my credit card $100 and told me to wait 1-2 billing statements to receive my refund. After waiting 2 billing statements, I have still not received my refund. Upon asking again, I found they have never...
processed the request and are asking for an additional 60 days, delaying from their initial process.
Desired Resolution
CheapOAir should immediately process the refund promised as requested due to significant delays.

Dear [redacted]:
This is in response to
the complaint we received regarding the above case...
number. In his
complaint [redacted] is requesting that we honor a sold out fare.
It might help to explain
a little how we work. We are a travel
agency, simply stated we are agents for the airlines. We do not create the airfare, the schedules
or have any control over airfare or schedule changes. As we allow clients to access hundreds of
thousands of flights and fares, so does every other on-line travel agency
worldwide. Basically, this means that
anyone with a smart phone or internet connection has access to these flights
and therefore seats and airfares can sell out quickly and it may take the
airline anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks to update their availability on
sold out fares and flights.
As listed in our Terms
and Conditions: All offers, prices, and conditions of sale may be subject to
change without notice.
We appreciate the time
and attention your office has given to this matter.
Sincerely,
Karen R[redacted]
Customer Service Manager

RE: [redacted]/Rebuttal Case [redacted] Booking Number [redacted]
Dear [redacted]:
This
is in response to the rebuttal we received regarding the above referenced booking
number.
Due to the operational needs of each airline, changes are often
made to the flights that they are currently operating. Often these changes are
a prediction of travel needs for a future dates but can also reflect same day
changes. Types of changes could be: flight number changes, time changes,
routing, date changes and or cancellations. Cancellations include when an
airline has stopped or temporarily canceled service to certain cities, or
stopped service on certain days of the week. Once this information is received further we will than
know how to better respond to his request.
CheapOair
does not assume any liability whatsoever for
cancelled flights, flights that are missed, or flights not connecting due to
any scheduled changes made by the airlines.
As
stated in our original letter dated May [redacted] has been
contacted by one of our customer care representative based on his concerns. [redacted] has advised that on his behalf she has contacted the airline
requesting information as to when and why [redacted]’s flight was cancelled out
of [redacted] Airport and was rebooked out of [redacted] Airport.
We regret any confusion encountered by [redacted] and to please allow
the airline time to respond to our request.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
In their answer, CheapOair conveniently forgets to mention their false claim: "An incorrect phone number is on file for you at your banking institution that you used to make a purchase from us, as we informed you in our recent conversation. " I have proof of this in my inbox, and will gladly provide this proof when required.The claim is false for the following reasons: A) They never contacted my banking institution (I verified this with the banking institution), and B) My banking institution has my correct phone number on file (again verified with the banking institution).CheapOair, in their answer to you, claims that "we tried to do this with his bank, but a conference call was needed". Not only is this statement a non sequitur (look it up on Google if you don't know what that is), it is also a confirmation of their lie. Their statement suggests that they tried to contact my banking institution, and failed, and that therefore a conference call was needed. My question then is: if they failed to actually make contact with my banking institution, then how can they claim that my banking institution does not have my correct phone number on file? I'm truly curious to know where they obtained the information, which, I'll mention it again, is demonstrably false. My banking institution will confirm this if required.I also do not understand the need for a conference call; I do not see how my phone number should be the magic number that all of a sudden then confirms my credit card is real (the banking institution itself has very different ways of confirming that I am who I say I am).I highly question this statement of theirs as well: "Because it was an international address using an international credit card, we, of course, needed to verify some information". [redacted] is an international company and I'm baffled that CheapOair should be so surprised that credit cards are used internationally.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
I stay firm in my complaint against you that you have used unethical business practices at the time of me booking my plane ticket on November ** 2014. This was a special trip I had saved for and it was a trip for my myself and my daughter then [redacted] years old to meet her grandmother for the first time.I called this booking service at several occasions raising my concerns about the booking policies and I was assudre several times I would be able to book my ticket without penalties. I further explained that I would not like to book a return ticket as my return date would be unknown as there would be construction and restoration of my home and my date of return needed to be flexible and I was in the conversation still assured that if I made my booking thru the service I would be able to change it. I was not informed of exorbitant fees that would exceed the actual ticket vaue!I would simply say I was coerced to make the booking with the knowledge that the company later on would be able to collect exorbitant fees or let alone force me to purchase another ticket, which I was forced to do.The response from [redacted] was most uncomfortable as the company clearly understood their legal mistake in offering of my ticket but tried to send me forms and email correspondance further coercing me to dissolve the dispute in a destitute and illegal manner.I am not going to dissolve this issue unless I have my full fund of my return tickets releases and resolved along with apology from [redacted].Thankfully,[redacted]
