My note to Cheapo this evening:

I was on the phone this evening for over an hour and a half waiting for a response from the alleged "scheduled change team" to which the "billings and refund" people referred me when I called today about why the refund promised for booking ******* over a month ago has never arrived.

I spoke to a Cheapo representative on November 26 about Cheapo's note to us indicating that the flight from Hong Kong to Hanoi earlier booked for us on November 29 was no longer available. Cheapo had few options for getting us from Hong Kong to Hanoi, none of them acceptable. The representative added as an option that we could book our own flight for the Hong Kong-Hanoi leg of our trip and Cheapo would reimburse the portion of our charges that related to that flight. We accepted that option and the representative told me that he had entered into the system the request for the Hong Kong to Hanoi part of our flight to be reimbursed. He indicated that the monies should be refunded within two or three days.

Over a month has passed and we have not received a penny. Nor have we had any correspondence initiated by Cheapo.

"Thank you for continuing to hold. A representative will be with you shortly." That message was constant over the hour and a half that I waited for a person to answer. And then, out of the blue, the messag was: "Your call cannot be answered. Please try again." Et cetera.

I expect Cheapo to meet its obligation to refund Ann and myself. Please respond as quickly as possible to this message.

May 22,2016--Despite several promises, Cheapo has never refunded the money. I think they are crooks.

Alvin, my apologies for the refund delay. In regards to the airline having a schedule change, the only option was a refund which was explained on Nov 27, and because of the multiple carriers involved, a refund could not be requested until travel was completed on the carrier who impacted the concern. That travel was scheduled to be completed Dec 24, at that time we requested a waiver from Vietnam airline requesting the partial refund. Refunds can take upto 60 days to receive, and we have no control over the time processing time that it takes, due to us now being the end provider. The refund was requested and we have not reached the 2 billing cycle or 60 days that it take for the refund. Again my apologies for any inconvenience.

Select a Seat. When selected, $9.00 was added to price?
