I have been using Super for over half a year and enjoy playing games for credits. As of August 5th my last redemption I have been unable to redeem any credits. I have done every offer legitimately and spent my own money on many of them including the one I have credits I can not redeem for at this current time. I was told by customer service a few times over the past few days that there was a technical issue and that it will be resolved soon and to try redeeming later which this was a HUGE lie. As of today 8/13 I contacted customer service on the app and they directed a call to an agent for me who began to tell me my redemption account had been terminated due to some policy? I have no broken any policy nor would I even know how to! I would like this reversed and my credits made available and a apology. Thanks for your time.Business response

On July 13, 2024, I booked a reservation through super.com to stay at the ***************** - ******************. I checked in after 12 hours of travel, with my service animal, to find that the bed was unmade and the door had been propped open with a washcloth. While I was afraid to go into the room, I was exhausted, and my service animal needed to be cared for. I carefully proceeded into the room, and also opened the bathroom door - not knowing if anyone would be inside, threatening to harm me. I took care of my service animal and collapsed on the other bed. The next morning, I spoke with the general manager and showed her pictures. She immediately offered a full refund, and I told her I had booked the room through a third party. She told me to have the 3rd party -- super.com -- call her, and she would approve the refund. I then reached out to super.com through the chat feature, and was told i needed a written approval. I went back to the hotel and got a receipt on letterhead signed by the Assistant General Mgr. I sent this, along with photos of the room, to super.com. I was subsequently told these did not go through and sent them twice more -- once through the chat feature and once through email. I heard back again, saying: "I trust this email finds you well. My name is *** from Super.com. We inform you that our team is still working with the hotel through our travel partners, hence, we are looking forward to providing you with an update the soonest we hear back from them. In the meantime, we greatly appreciate you for bestowing us with the opportunity to work on this in your behalf." This is disingenuous, at best, because I had already provided signed approval. I reached out through chat today and once the agent knew what I was inquiring about, I received no response. I want an immediate refund -- at the moment, this appears to be a scam.Business response

Hi *****,
Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with your recent ***************** ********* West booking. We aim to ensure your comfort and satisfaction, and your feedback is valuable in this process.
As a third-party booking service, we are committed to facilitating reservations and enhancing your overall experience. While we strive to connect you with excellent accommodations, please note that we are not responsible for hotel standards, amenities, or the behavior of other guests.
We understand how worrying it can be to not receive your refund despite having a signed approval for cancellation from the Hotel's Assistant Manager. Please know that while the hotel may have approved the refund, some of our travel partners can be very strict regarding non-refundable bookings.
Despite these challenges, our Support Team has made every effort to request a complimentary cancellation on your behalf. We're happy to inform you that your reservation has been successfully canceled and refunded last August 11, 2024. It usually takes 3-5 business days to be processed. Processing times depend exclusively on the bank; therefore, you must reach out to them for an exact timeframe.

I booked for a hotel through their website on Satudray July 6th, when I arrived the receptionist didn't allowed me to check in due to issue with processing the payment that was used for the original booking, even though my card was already charged. It was around 12 am and I attempted to call the customer service but no one answered, I ended up having to make another reservation through another site since it was extreemly late. I contacted super customer service but it's been over a week since I last heard from them. I need them to refund me for the booking that I was not allowed to check in with.Business response

I booked a hotel stay with ********** by Sheraton in ********, **, for an upcoming trip with my son. I booked it on Super.com. A hit accidentally hit Thursday, August 8th, check in instead of Friday, August 9th. We will not be in ***** until Friday the 9th. I immediately called the hotel and then Super.com to see about moving this to Friday instead but said there was nothing they could do even though it was a mistake and not changing my plans.

Hi ******,
Thank you for contacting us regarding your reservation dates. Please know that we are not able to modify any reservations or change your research.
Reservations are made based on your search criteria. It's important that you double-check your booking details before you complete your reservation. This includes checking the dates, location, and price. It's also a good idea to review our cancellation policy so that you know what to expect if you need to change or cancel your reservation. Since your booking is non-refundable, modifications or cancellations typically require hotel approval.
Our primary goal is to ensure the satisfaction of every customer. In this case, our Support team has been notified and will initiate contact with the accommodation and travel partner to request a complimentary cancellation on your behalf. Rest assured, we will keep you informed and work diligently to resolve this situation to your satisfaction.
We trust this explanation provides clarity on the matter.

Thank you for the follow up and response. I was able to contact the hotel and get the date change without penalty or losing my money as Super.com told me I may. I am satisfied with my claim as I was able to use the hotel room I paid for. I will not be using this site moving forward due to their policies and inability to help customers when they make an honest mistake on a booking.

I booked a stay at a ***********, in *******, on July 9th. The stay was for the night of July 12. I booked the stay starting in the app called Kayak. Kayak lists different websites with varying prices for the same hotel. Super.com was the cheapest so I clicked on its link and booked the hotel. A week later, I noticed a couple of charges I did not recognize. Two charges of a monthly membership fee of *****. One charge was for **** and one was for July. I did not sign up for a membership with super.com. And I did not use the website or their app until July. I also had a charge for a stay at a la Quinta for July *****, in *******. I did not book this hotel. I did not need an additional night, the 13th, and *** stayed at this particular la Quinta before. I did not like it. Also, I did not need the hotel because I booked the Hyatt.I chatted with super.com. They apologized for the fraudulent charge, but told me I needed to take it up with PayPal, which is how the la Quinta was paid for. I disputed, but lost that dispute. I am in the process of appealing that decision.I also called La Quinta and they have no record of my stay those nights. I know for a fact I did not book this hotel. And I did not agree to a membership. The only thing I did through super.com was book the Hyatt for the night of July 12th.Business response

On Wednesday July 31, 2024, I booked 3 nights in a hotel in Rochester, NY. After some moving and packing delays, I was unable to arrive in the hotel until the second day of my stay. I went to the front desk, and she said there was no reservation for me. After a long back and forth with the chat support, I was finally told that the reservation was cancelled as a no-show. I requested my money back, since I didn't actually get the stay I paid for, and instead only got put in a very frustrating loop saying there was nothing that could be done.Business response

Hi ***,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns regarding your reservation B_15122273 at the Homewood Suites By *******************
Were proud to be a trusted company recognized in several reputable publications. Regarding your booking, it's essential to differentiate between the type of reservation selected. You have chosen a Non-refundable rate, which comes with a more restrictive cancellation and refund policy. However, you have the option to extend this policy to make it more flexible, which allows for refunds under specific conditions.When booking a flexible rate, you are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within the grace ******* On the other hand, the Non-refundable rate offers a discounted price in exchange for a stricter cancellation policy. When you choose to enhance this cancellation policy for added flexibility, the upgrade cost is understandably non-refundable.
For a comprehensive understanding of our reservation policies, we recommend reviewing the Terms & Conditions on our website. You can find more information about the Enhanced Refund policy by visiting the following links:
*****************************************
**************************************
Alternatively, if your reason for cancellation is not listed under the Enhanced Refund coverage, you can reach out to the property with your request for a refund. If the hotel approves an exception, we would be more than willing to assist you with issuing a refund. Once you've secured approval from the hotel, you can initiate the cancellation by visiting: ********************************************** and following the prompts.

I am rejecting this response because: I was previously told by the business they were going to make an exception, then they turned around and said they contacted the hotel and couldn't make an exception. They told me that they talked to ***** at the hotel and that is need to get the hotel to cancel and provide them proof.I called the hotel and they told me they had no one by that name, and that the hotel could not cancel it as I didn't book it thru them and that is need to contact your site as the payment was issued to you.
If you are actually able to issue the refund this time instead of saying you are going to make an exception and then turn around and go nope, no exception then I can accept the solution. Saying you are going to make an exception then doing nothing to get me a refund is not a solution

Hi *****,
We want to clarify that since your booking was made under a non-refundable policy, with limited options for modifications and cancellations, we will provide an exception to have our Support Team contact the hotel and our travel partner to advocate for a complimentary cancellation on your behalf. We always do our best to negotiate on your behalf, but sometimes our hands are tied.
Our Support Team has already made every effort to request a complimentary cancellation. Regrettably, the hotel denied our request for a free-of-charge cancellation due to their strict policy with pre-paid and non-refundable bookings.
If the hotel has agreed to make an exception, we kindly ask you to gather all relevant details from your communication with them, including the name and position of the staff member who assisted you.
Once you have received approval, please initiate a cancellation, by visiting: ********************************************** and following the prompts.

I am rejecting this response because: They did nothing to resolve the issue and instead as I already mentioned in my previous response are literally copy and pasting an answer they gave me previously and trying to push the blame on someone else. I already contacted the hotel who told me that since I did not book thru them, and I did not issue the payment thru them that the only person who could cancel it would be the company I PAID which is trying to blame the company.
The hotel flat out told me that they cannot cancel a reservation I did not make thru them and that its at Super.com's discretion to issue a refund as they are the ones I paid, not the hotel.
I already said this in my previous response and said that this was what I was previously told by Super.com and the Hotel, so not only is Super.com not resolving the issue they are not reading the responses I sent and just sending template answers without actually reading what I am writing. I paid Super.com, I cannot get the hotel to cancel my reservation as I did not book it, Super.com booked it on my behalf after I paid them and per the hotel THEY need to cancel it and/or process the refund

Thank you for sharing your recent experience with our Support team. Your feedback is invaluable to us, as it guides our continual improvement and growth.
It looks like your reservation was already past the grace ****** for refundable booking, making it non-refundable. This generally restricts modifications or cancellations unless authorized by the hotel.
In light of these circumstances, we are willing to consider an exception in this case. We're glad to inform you that our Support Team has successfully managed to get a special approval for your refund on your booking. The full refund was processed back to your account, and it usually takes 3 - 5 business days to reflect. Processing times depend exclusively on the bank; therefore, you must reach out to them for an exact timeframe.
