'I got £1,567 back after booking a summer holiday using a simple trick - here's how'

A family is celebrating a massive holiday bonus after claiming back a whopping £1,567.53 in credit on their

Lee Johnson and Zoe Broadbent, parents to two boys, booked a luxury family break to the Rixos Premium Seagate in through On the Beach. By doing so, the Shropshire family automatically bagged a unique perk offered by the online travel agent that guarantees customers the lowest price on their summer .

Price Drop Protection from On the Beach means that if customers see that the price of their holiday has dropped after they have booked it, they can claim back the difference up to 60 days before departure, giving them the cheapest possible deal and ultimate peace of mind.

Lee explained: “I’d been looking at the holiday for a while and every time I looked, the price wasn’t changing and so I finally decided to book it. Then I checked the price again by chance a few weeks later and couldn’t believe it had dropped. I was very shocked but then amazed when I found out we’d get over £1,500 back in credit.”

Lee’s holiday to the all-inclusive hotel will now feel that much sweeter knowing he has bagged an incredible saving.

Complete with access to luxurious spa facilities and a variety of dining options across countless restaurants and bars, guests of the Rixos Premium Seagate are treated to regular performances from live musicians and a buffet that runs from 11.30pm to 2am.

With their holiday in the bag as well as £1,567.53 in credit, the family plans to put the unexpected money towards another getaway in the New Year. Lee added: “It’s amazing. I didn’t think anything would actually come of it, it’s great to know that if the price drops, you get that money back toward your next holiday.”

According to On the Beach, the scheme has seen the average customer receive £201 following their claim.

Zoe Harris, chief customer officer at On the Beach, said: “The moment we launched Price Drop Protection, the response was overwhelming. Holidaymakers finally felt reassured they weren’t missing out by booking early and now they’re saving big. With the average claim over £200 and some like Lee’s into the thousands, it’s a real game changer for the industry and for customers.”

Other families have also cashed in on the initiative. Sharnjeet Gill from Watford, who booked a trip to Centara Mirage in Dubai, received £572.76 back, while Lisa Wilkinson from Somerset claimed £370.81 on her family’s Egyptian escape. “It felt too good to be true,” said Sharnjeet. “It removes the worry of booking too early and missing out on a better deal later.”

Lee agrees and encourages others to take advantage of the scheme: “I’d definitely recommend it. It really gives you peace of mind when booking, knowing you’ve locked in the best deal, even if the price drops later.”
