My Second Experience with Rovia Price Pledge!


After buying cheap tickets, now I booked 2 Tune Hotel rooms for them to stay overnight in LCCT before catching the next day early flight back to Kuching.

Again, since I have my very own personal travel website, I logged in into my website and used the search engine function. The price I found for 2 rooms at Tune Hotel KLIA-LCCT Sepang was $ 116.40. (I was praying that I could find cheaper price elsewhere :P). Then I checked in the most commonly used hotel booking website; Agoda (www.agoda.com), the total price for the same booking costs almost the same RM 360 (approx~ $ 114.72). Then I checked again in tunehotels website (www.tunehotels.com), the total price for the same booking costs only RM 206.48 (approx~ $ 65.8). Yea, EXCITED mode again!

I booked and paid with my Rovia bucks (from my first PP claim). Then I print screen the booking details and tunehotels website price and started to fill up the Rovia Price Pledge claim form. Submitted all the necessary info to them and within 5 business days, they approved and granted my refund; 150% from the price difference! I have got a refund of $ 75.98 into my rovia account :)

Let me show to you the calculation;

My travel website price: $ 116.40
Tunehotels website (cheapest I can find): RM 206.48 (approx~ $ 65.80)
Price difference: $ 50.60


My 150% difference refund: 150% * $ 50.60 = $ 75.90

My hotel price will be $ 116.40 - $ 75.90 = $ 40.50 for 2 rooms! (tell me if you can book at this price elsewhere :))

A total of $ 25.30 savings in US dollar kay!  Yippieee! Amazing right? Contact me jess_sll@yahoo.com or +60192116800 for more details.

My Very First Experience with Rovia Price Pledge!

Flight booking with Rovia is so so much fun! Hubby’s parents and sis will be going to Auckland, New Zealand for sis graduation in Sept 2013. So, I started to search for the available flight tickets from KUL-AUCK. There are China Southern Airlines, MAS, Jetstar, KLM etc. After discussing with parents, they decided to choose MAS (direct flight from KUL-AUCK), save the hassles of transit, 10 hours flight instead of 18 hours!

As usual, since I have my very own personal travel website, I logged in into my website and used the search engine function. The price I found for 4 flights was $ 3,637.72. Then I checked in MAS website, the total price for the same booking costs only RM 10,744.16 (approx~ $ 3,431). If it was last time, I would feel happy to see the cheapest price in MAS website and booked the tickets straight away (who doesn’t do that, right?). BUT, now I felt excited when I saw my own personal travel website is offering at a higher price! (you must be laughing there thinking that I am crazy LOL)

I booked the tickets instantly and paid with my CC $ 3,637.72. Then I print screen the booking details and MAS website price and started to fill up the Rovia Price Pledge claim form :) Submitted all the necessary info to them and within 5 business days, they have approved and granted my refund; 150% from the price difference! Yes, you see it right! I have got a refund of $ 310.08 into my rovia account :)
