‘It felt too good to be true’ – Mum reveals how she saved more than £500 on a holiday using new money-saving trick

A MUM has revealed how she managed to save hundreds of pounds on her family holiday using a new price promise scheme.

On the Beach Price Drop Protection launched last month for a limited two week run.

The scheme guarantees the lowest price for a 2025 summer holiday, and will pay the difference if the price becomes lower after booking.

Sharnjeet Gill, from Watford, booked a family holiday with her husband and two children to Centara Mirage in Dubai via On the Beach.

The trip, a seven-night stay in May, ended up being £572.76 cheaper after she booked it – and was refunded the full amount.

Saying it felt “too good to be true,” the 43-year-old added: “It’s rare to find companies that honour price drops after a purchase.

“I will likely put it towards a holiday this year, as it feels like an unexpected bonus that makes another trip more affordable.”

Sharnjeet was also happy that the scheme offers her “peace of mind”.

She continued: “I know that if the price drops after customers book, they’ll get the difference back.

“It removes the worry of booking too early and missing out on better deals later.

“I’d definitely encourage anyone thinking about booking to take advantage of it as it effectively guarantees customers the lowest deal.”

Sharnjeet isn’t the only one to have saved with the On the Beach offer.

Holidaymaker Lisa Wilkinson, 42, claimed back £370.81 when the price fell after booking.

Lisa, from Somerset, booked a family holiday with her husband and two children to Egypt and was thrilled to get back some cash ahead of her summer break later this year.

She said: “We knew about the initiative and it gave us complete reassurance when we booked.

“I checked the price every day and was relieved when the price dropped as I knew I’d be getting the credit back. We’ll likely put it towards a big holiday for next year!”

The offer is available to use on all holidays for summer 2025 booked through the On the Beach platform.

So, if you book a holiday and see the price drop between booking and 60 days before departure, you can claim back the difference.

And it doesn’t even matter how much the price drops by – they will honour it.

Then claim the difference back, and it will appear as credit towards your next holiday.
