Nonrefundable rates are not marketed as a bet against global catastrophe. They're a commitment that you won't change your mind.
This epidemic is more similar to the hotel burning down. I would expect my money back in that scenario and do whatever I could to retrieve it.
- listenallyall 7y agoNo, they are marketed as "non-refundable." As in, you don't come, you don't get a refund. End of story. With that said, many hotel chains and airlines have suspended their typical non-refundable rules, so a simple phone call would likely suffice.
- hrktb 7y agoYou had to explain what “non-refundable” should be interpreted as. I think we can agree different people will have different interpretations. I’d also expect any terms in the actual ToS defining “non-refundble” to get void in front of a judge in this specific cases if this was really pushed that far.
- gjs278 7y agowhat if the hotel CEO came and murdered your entire family right in front of you a day before the reservation? he was then prosecuted and admitted guilt in a court of law. refund yet?
- gnaritas 7y agoNo, non-refundable means non-refundable. You don't have a right to expect your money back under any circumstance.
