Tee Times Golf Agency

Post by Ian »

I booked 25 tee times through this agency in May. They quoted 1388 euro which I paid by credit card. When my c/c bill arrived I found that Tee Times had converted the payment into sterling at a rate which was beneficial to them.
Has anyone else come across this practice and, other than not using them again, is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks,
Ian :shock:

If the price agreed was in euros then the transaction should have been completed on this basis and the conversion to GBP should have been made by your credit card company.

I suggest you contact your credit card company immediately and dispute the charge. If you have written evidence of the transaction or cost then send them a copy.

Ian, in future you could use Richard Ballington at Algarve Golf - UK for your bookings, he will offer discounted golf and invoice you in Sterling.

Thanks for the advice.
I did contact my credit card company, who were uninterested as they just complied with the payment request. They were not interested in the companies sharp practice.
It seems all I can do is warn others(I will write to national press) to be careful if they are thinking of using Tee Times Golf agency. I won't be using them again!!
