Hotel Booking Site Tingo Gives $5,500 Back To Happy Customer

BOSTON, Oct. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Tingo, the only site that automatically rebooks travelers at the lower rate if a hotel drops its price and automatically refunds the difference, just repaid a customer with its highest refund to date. Tingo refunded a happy customer named Lisa, with over $5,500 after the price of her Hawaii hotel room dropped, saving her 58% on her original reservation.

Lisa booked a hotel on Tingo in February, planning to stay five nights in late August for an annual trip with her husband. Before she booked, she wasn't very familiar with the site, but when she saw that Tingo offers Price Drop refunds she decided to give the site a shot. While sitting by the pool in Hawaii, Lisa got the email from Tingo saying that she received her refund, and she spontaneously decided to use the funds to stay in Hawaii for an extra week.

Lisa says, "Tingo is the perfect partner to ensure your trip is flawless. No more wondering if the person next to you got a better deal at your hotel as Tingo takes away all of the guessing and stress, and does all of the work for you. Within two days of checking out, I had a credit of $5,500 on my credit card, just as Tingo said I would."

From the Tingo Team
David Krauter, President of SmarterTravel, the company which owns and manages Tingo, says, "Every price drop refund is a win for our customer. However, this one takes the cake. Had Lisa booked elsewhere, she would not have gotten over $5,500 back, automatically. It was especially exciting to hear that she used that money to spontaneously extend her trip by a week—that's why we built Tingo in the first place."
