- Address: L10, Mahavir Enclave
I paid Rs 33500 for a Multi-Currency Card and it never worked through-out my trip while I was abroad. I struggled for 15 days straight with attempts to contact them but they kept sending me useless resolution. On the very last day of my trip (while I was at the airport), they confirmed that the card cannot be activated because only 1 card can work per passport.
My issue here is:
1. I had asked this specifically twice when I enquired about getting a card and I was assured that this won’t be a problem.
2. It took them 2 weeks to figure this out.
Anyway, there is no compensation fit enough to make me forget the horrors of being stuck in a foreign land without enough funds. Luckily, I had my debit & credit cards which worked there. Obviously, I incurred hefty charges on it, which Thomas Cook agreed to pay along with the exact amount I paid to buy the Multi-currency card from them. At first, I was happy to see that they are considerate and accepting their fault.
Alas! They paid me a portion of money back and when I asked for the reason behind their inability to fulfill their commitment, they stopped responding. It's been 8 weeks since I have been following-up with them post return from my trip. And its been 2 weeks since I am waiting for an explanation from them.
