*******

I did a online booking for Saddle and Trout 14-18 August and unfortunately my close family passed away and i asked First Group to postpone my date for 4-8 September at the same price due to the unforeseen circumstances and they have NO empathy and demand that i pay R477.80. I go online and see the same date 4-8 September at the R2730 as originally when i booked. I write to them requesting adjustment and the unsympathetic Jean Moagi who refused not understanding the emotional state we are in and the reason for the postponement. To me and all who are reading this stay away from such resort management. Just for the record i have had numerous problems with these people over the years and so many others thus the reason why i cancelled my points system. Nothing has changed

One of your managers responded with NO understanding. All i asked to rebook at the original price i booked and the answer was not acceptable. Secondly when i checked online the same dates is AVAILABLE at R2730 and you want over R3000. Your management is NOT helpful in anyway

What is most disappointing is that when i go online i get the quote as per my original booking but First Group will NOT rebook at the same price how's that for management decision??

When i asked ok then let me book online and refund me the R2730 which in my mind comes to the same thing but no for their rigid attitude

WHAT IS THE FAIR AND REASONABLE DECISION?? ITS SIMPLY YOUR WAY ONLY NO CONSIDERATION IN VIEWING THE MATTER ON MERIT.

YOUR TEAM NO WAY ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE. SOMETIMES BUSINESS NEEDS TO VIEW CERTAIN REQUEST OUT THE BOX AND CONSIDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND NOT FIGHT FOR R477.30 AND LOSE OTHER BUSINESS. ONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ONLINE THERE IS ONE PRICE AND THEN YOUR OFFICES HAVE ANOTHER PRICE. DOUBLE STANDARDS! SO PEOPLE BECARE FOR THIS .
