  • Issues with lastminute.com

    Hi

    Last week I bought a deal on lastminute.com which was advertised as a 2 for 1 deal. I bought 3 of them as there were 6 of us wanting to go for the package. It is a spa break at a McDonalds hotel.
    The money was debited from my CC and emails received to confirm.
    I have since spoken with the hotel and booked all our spa treatments that were an inclusive part of the deal.
    I have just received a call from lastminute.com to say that they made a mistake with the 2 for 1 (down to human error apparently)
    They gave me 3 options:
    • Pay full cost (an additional £411)
    • Transfer to a different spa deal (that they said was the same deal but different spa) which would cost an additional £180
    • Have a refund and £50 compensation.
    I advised that none of these options were satisfactory and said I would be willing to transfer to the different spa quite happily if Lastminute.com would stand to the additional cost. They said they will call me back tomorrow.

    However, I then looked up the deal they had mentioned and it is only available Mon-Fri and mine was booked for a Saturday.

    Where do I stand with this? What are my rights? Surely the fact that they have taken my money, and the hotel have even taken our bookings should mean that this a legal contract?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Not necessarily. Mistake is a vitiating factor in contract law.
