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 :)

Let me show you the calculation;

My travel website price: $ 3,637.72
MAS website (cheapest I can find at that time during Matta fair): RM 10,744.16 (approx~ $ 3,431)
Price difference: $ 206.72

from MAS website

my booking

My 150% difference refund: 150% * $ 206.72 = $ 310.08

confirmation email from Price Pledge

My actual ticket price will be $ 3,637.72 - $ 310.08 = $ 3,327.64 for 4 people!

A total of $ 103.36 savings! Yea, some will say not much difference but hey, at least I made some savings! :D

I saw your article.

It was a very interesting article.
But I have a question thing.
If I had issued a ticket for someone else other than me, am I eligible for a refund of 150%?

What is possible only when my ticket?
Answers I'll wait.
Have a nice day today also

Only if you travel with that person. And if that person is member take the difference then would transfer you the difference. PM for details.
