Hi,
New here on the forum and I have been delving over past posts and I cannot remember (as there are hundreds of very good threads to read ) if it was decided how one could claim their subscription fee back if not delighted (satisfied?). If you received lots of enquiries and no bookings, would that be sufficient to make a claim? I suppose I should reply to their offer and ask them but I thought I would ask here first.
I joined up for this. They sent me an invite with a special code to quote. I think it had helped that i had registered on their site a couple of months ago. No strings attached - not happy money back. been with them since mid December, so far one enquiry no booking. I intend playing fair - if I don't get any bookings by end april i'll cancel. I am expecting them to deliver as they are far and away the most expensive site i have come across. Good luck
I joined H-R in October 2005 but did not get the money back guarantee. So far, not really impressed, but it is early days. How did manage to get the money back guarantee? Did you see it advertised on their site or did you get an email direct from them?
I got an e-mail invite today, but have managed to lose it from my inbox, still, I though they were expensive. I ddi however make an enquiry for a property for the Summer while I was on there.
I also got the money back guarantee, but due to the price and the fact there appears to be hundreds of properties in my area alone, I have been wary of committing myself.
Tudor,
I was holidaying in your area over the Christmas, namely Almunecar. The weather was great and so many places to visit, I loved it.
i got an email invite with a special code i had to quote in my application
Wished I'd have waited!! It is the most expensive rental listing site we're with so far.....with not many leads to date! I'm going to give them a trial until April then make a decision whether I renew or not for next year. An expensive gamble...but I'll put it down to experience!
Haven't been on for a while, so don't know whether things have moved on, but I thought I'd mention that I received a similar offer last year (which I didn't take up). The money back guarantee was dependent on you updating your availability at least once per fortnight. Great if you're very organised, I'm not and I know that in the course of a year I'm bound to forget at least once.
"The money back guarantee was dependent on you updating your availability at least once per fortnight."
That was the sting in the tail!
Still, it's a fair condition - and a lot more advertisers are updating regularly, so it seems to be working.
Alan, a rental and a site are 2 different things. A holiday is an 'experience', as such anyone can be satisfied or dissatisfied by the 'experience' - as any book of (honest) reviews will show. (One group may love a stormy 2 weeks of rain and wind, another loathe it).
An advertising site is emphatically NOT about an 'experience'. It is ONLY about getting enquiries/bookings. No enquiries/bookings, no value. Not worth anything. Zilch. Very simple. I would want my money back.
I would totally agree that if someone said they wanted their money back because of the 'feel' of the site, this would be wrong. Money back guarantees are the same as legal no win no fee deals. Entirley justified.
Cheers
Tudor

Sometimes i sits and thinks - and sometimes i just sits...
I'm not sure that you can get your money back in April, I think you have to give it the full year but I could be wrong! I have an email from David K that also says the refund does not depend on whether you update every two weeks..............so that's good! I have had 4 enquiries so far but no bookings........
