So you made a mistake and blame someone else for it?
Three nights away for $175 sounds very reasonable and you'd be stupid to think there was not terms and conditions linked to it.
Tell me why you believe Scoopon should take money out of their own pocket to compensate for your mistake?
because i am a poor old aged pensioner not like u bludgers sitting on your arses commenting on someones misfortune who just happen to of forgotten he had it so get a woolie bull up YA
lol - don't expect love or sympathy from the cut price ozbargain crew when you it was obviously on oversight on your part.
What is a wolly bull? :)
so you just rocked up and expected a room?
Can't blame the hotel or scoopon on this one.
Sorry.
mick didnt rock up anywhere old son didnt even make the front door only got one leg the right one
oh…..in that case, Scoopon should give you triple your money back and buy you a new leg.
THEN I WOULD HAVE THREE…. DONT NEED AN EXTRA LEG JUST MY MONEY BACK STILL WORKING ON IT… OLD BLOKES LIKE ME NEVER GIVE UP….IN THE HANDS OF FAIR TRADING NOW ?????????????????
"only got one leg the right one"
Old or young, rich or poor, it doesn't matter… If the gift card/voucher is expired, so be it. It is no one's fault but your own for not reading the T&C.
sorry thought from you initial post you had just rocked up.
To be honest, think everyone is being a bit hard on you but you're not helping with your responses either. Truth is I doubt you will recover your money.
Am I right in saying you had to book by 28th March but can use for stays up till September?
If you speak to mgmt at the hotel they might be able to help, but that is at their discretion.
You have zero chance with Scoopon to recover anything.
And yes scoopon does stink, which is why I dont use them either
Okay, so you are going to fair trading. Do yourself a favour and get some help with your written presentation. Yes, it is a rant, but the main problem it is hard to understand.
You'll lose anyway. And that is the fair thing.
If you buy a packet of fresh chicken and leave it in the boot of your car in summer until the day before the use by date, are you going to blame the supermarket for your mistake and claim it should still be fresh since the use by date is a day away or will you take responsibility for your actions/inactions?
Do you reckon you have no responsibility in this matter?
whats chicken in a car got to do with being ripped off stupid hows that for presentation stupid
Thanks mick i did ring the resort on feb 17th.. and told them i had friends coming over from the states in april.. the young lady then told me about the easter block out period and said to ring back when i had a proper date .. when i did that ..I WAS TOLD I WAS TO LATE MISSED OUT BY TWO WEEKS THAT IS WHY i AM ANGRY… NOW THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF MY CONVERSATION DIDNT HAPPEN…. THANKS ANYWAY FOR YOUR CONCERN…… CHEERS
Let's continue the conversation without attacking each other.
SORRY LETS START AGAIN…. WHY DONT WE SPREAD SOME LOVE AROUND INSTEAD
voteoften nasty little vegemite…I DONT TELL LIES…..GOSPEL,,, NEVER ONCE HAVE I SAID THAT I WAS NOT AT FAULT…JUST AFTER A BIT OF COMPASSION …I CAN SEE NOW I AM NOT GOING TO GET HERE… IT SEEMS SOME OF YOU ARE VERY UNHAPPY PEOPLE I DO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU????
Caps lock goes the other way… sort of.
Your attitude doesn't do anything to convince people you deserve any sort of compassion. You've made a mistake in sreading or not understanding the terms of the voucher. When it comes down to that, the general opinion of most people is that the end user is at fault.
A number of people have provided you with some options on a course of action, but your attitude to them is to blow them off.
If all you want is compassion, I highly doubt you'll find it here.
please explain, caps lock goes the the other …sort of… i know deep down i have lost the dollars…still doesnt make it any easier A??
did all you nice people out there in peep land watch australian story last night if u didnt u should have…. it will show how shallow OUR LIVES ARE MINE INCLUDED
By reading the terms and conditions you would have been able to avoid this.
Not Scoopon's fault just your own idiocy
