The information we requested (an itemized statement of the bill) would explain all the cost/charges to usI am still in need of this information. However, in response to the question regarding charges for the infant, there was a price quoted in the amount of $I mentioned to the agent that I was under the impression that a lap baby traveled free, and he told me I still had to pay the taxes and fees for him and it would be $for the infantWe then added insuranceI was under the impression that a total was given based on all the questions and personal information given to the agent.... including the infantsThe whole transaction was for three peopleIf there was a mistake made, I am sure it would be reflected in the itemized bill.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,

I have received a payment of $120, thank you for your help in this matter!

I spoke with Ms*** yesterday over the phone. We did a conference call with the back to determine why the conversion rate was so high. I advised this was from the bank not us. I had to disconnect the call as the back would not speak to her with me on the phone. I called Ms*** back to find out what the bank said. I could only leave a voice mail and have not heard back from her as of yet. We did not overcharge Ms***. As I stated with her I would be happy to work with her and her bank. I am awaiting her call back

Revdex.com,That was the airline's penalty to refund the ticketOur company did not charge the customer anything.The airline deducted the penalty from the refundIf the customer is disputing the $charge, the dispute should be with *** *** since they received those funds, not us.Regards,*** ***

As you have quoted below response from the merchant, it is clear that the amount they emailed me is CAD$9,and it is different than what they have charged my credit card. That's the proof I am holding onto this that's why I have this dispute. All I want is a REFUND of the discrepancy

I don't know who *** is but I have received no messageAs far as I am concerned an offer to cancel w/ a penalty after hours negates any initial agreement Unless my purchase is refunded, I am not interested in anymore communication with this companyI have informed *** that some else will contact them on my behalf, if necessary, and to please forward my info and complaint to the appropriate personnel
Regards,
*** ***

In addition to my existing claim, I would like the reimbursement fee to be only $rather than $because Smartfares was able to provide a return flight in the business class Even though I added an additional $357, which I shouldn't
have been charged in the first place for the error that the agency made, I respectfully for a refund of $for the original departing flight where I was in economy class
Sincerely,

For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear belowAgain...here we go*** says that I was out of line and trying to suggest that I am trying to get something for nothing. Again, lack of training on her part. The ticket was never the issue. It is how the business is going about handling the situation and talking or responding to the customerI know what I said and who is to say what I meant or what the agent told me and what he meant. Like I said before it is her trying to spin the conversation her way. How about sending a copy of the phone conversation to the Revdex.com and a copy to me and let's hear it. They got the right customer on the right day and failed in all aspects of customer service. Like I said everything was recorded on the phone and I have all calls with supervisors recorded on my phone. The proof is in the pudding as the old saying goes and I have it. This company thought I would not call them out. Well, they are wrong and I will continuously call them out

I have researched the matter. The website *** airfare should never have allowed Ms*** to purchase cancellation insuranceWe are unable to sell insurance outside the United States. We are working on this glitch. Normally a window would pop up telling
them we are unable to sell. I have refunded the requested $

They have confirmed that there is not a data entry for the submission that I provided, which I'm still skeptical aroundI would like a confirmation no personal data was collected from my data entry or on the site
Also They did not reply to the actual request for an apology around the actual problem, because they are stating that the transaction can not be foundIf they actually read the request/issue then they would understand that I wasn't able to make a reservation based on their difference between marketed price and actual price given over the phone (which is a bait and switch to confuse the customer)

My credit card has received a refund of $for the tickets after they started a disputeWe can close the complaint currently. I would say though, that my complaint was partially resolved as the desired settlement was for $+ $1310.Thank you for helping.*** ***

After researching *** complaint. We have determined this was an agent error. Our agent neglected to cancel the original booking when *** advised him she did not want to pay more
When another agent called her regarding the credit card declined she neglected to advise the
confirmation numberTherefore she was not aware our agent was talking about her first booking
We will be refunding the first booking that was issued in error. A refund in the amount of $will be processed
The second ticket purchased by Ms*** will stay as is. This includes the cancellation insurance
