Redspottedhanky to introduce booking fees

« on: September 30, 2014, 19:13:15 »

Just had this in an email from ticket website redspottedhanky

At redspottedhanky.com we pride ourselves on being totally honest and transparent with our customers. That's why we wanted to let you know about a couple of changes we've had to make to our booking and delivery fees.

Booking fees - Rising costs mean that, reluctantly, we will be introducing a small charge of ^1 when you book your tickets.

It's something we've resisted in the past, but in order to continue providing you with an excellent service it's a change that has become unavoidable.

The booking charge will be introduced over the next few days.

Rest assured, we are keeping it simple; just a flat rate of ^1 per booking - no matter how many tickets you purchase with each booking or how much you spend.

What's more, unlike thetrainline we don't charge a credit card fee.

Delivery & collection fees - We will always aim to offer a free delivery option for your tickets. Choose an e-ticket or m-ticket and your delivery fee will be free. If neither is available then you can pick your ticket up at the station for free, too. Unfortunately there will now be a small charge of ^1 for standard postal delivery (normal rules apply to next day delivery).

I was just about to post the same. My only use for RSH now will be redeeming Tesco vouchers (assuming this offer still continues).

On a related note, I have some RSH transactions on cashback sites still outstanding from over a year ago.

I've only been using RSH to accumulate and spend points via their various Fantasy Sport (World Cup, F1, Wimbledon, and just this weekend ^14.50 worth of points from Ryder Cup) games.

Most online purchases go through FGW^▸ now, collecting Nectar points. Except for the odd occasions where I'll use a TOC^▸ specific site for seat selection or promotion reasons.

Always good to know which sites to avoid. Thanks Bob.

I have taken a liking to the First TransPennine Express site recently. Nectar points plus 1% cashback through the usual cashback websites.

It is also worth noting that Southern have amended their Moneyback Guarantee to exclude all Advance fares (previously SN only tickets were included).

My loyalty has switched to TPE^▸ too. RSH still owes me cashback from January.
