Life Happens. But So Do Refunds

So, you're all booked and hyped up for the trip of a lifetime. Eagerly counting away the days till you're all settled in to your dream destination hotel. You can't wait. But hey, here's some shocking news for ya- life doesn't either. Every day, tens of thousands of people experience last minute travel snags, forcing them to cancel pre-paid hotel room reservations and are left stuck paying for an empty room somewhere across the world. Did you know that in the U.S. alone, every day, more than 221,000 hotel rooms are cancelled and paid for, resulting in $8.6 billion wasted annually on non-refundable hotel room cancellations? Now there's a fun fact for you.

Ok, billions-shmillions. Who cares, right? Well you just might. Say you suddenly find yourself unable to travel- anything from terrible weather to a family emergency. You call the booking website or even worse, the hotel, demanding to speak with everyone from customer service to the hotel manager's dog to explain your situation, only to get slapped in the face with the unavoidable truth: you booked a non-refundable hotel room. Finally reality kicks in- show up or not, you’re not getting your money back. In the very best case, you might be able to pay a hefty cancelation fee, but even in this situation, you will be spending a whole lot of hard-earned money for nothing. What was sure to be an exciting and promising vacation suddenly becomes an expensive waste. Ouch.

And even though we truly hope it never comes down to it, if and when life does hit the fan, wouldn't it be nice to back up your wallet with a "any reason”, "no questions asked" hotel cancellation and refund protection?
