Re: Starting to get annoyed...
That is not right!!! Everytime the price drops for my honeymoon my travel agent sends me an email telling me I have a credit. I think I have a credit of about $500 right now. But honestly I think your travel agent should be the one looking out for better prices for you and def. should be more accomodating and responsive when you call. If he is not living up to his expectation it might make sense to cancel and rebook if you can. Like you said you will still be saving $1000. Where are you going on your honeymoon again?

EPM is having a awesome sale right now! I just cancelled my HM at Excellence Punta Cana and changed it to EPM because we are only paying $75 more for a rooftop terrace suite than we were paying for a garden view in Punta Cana! You definitley better get on this TA!

Oh heck no. That's not cool at all!!!!!
I'm going to have FH press this travel agent as well on this. BS. I don't think the price dropped on ours but it's ridiculous to know that he wouldn't look out for us in our interest....I mean, he doesn't get a commission right? Why would he care?

Re: Starting to get annoyed...
I'd be annoyed too. Could it be that his commission is a percentage of the trip cost and that's why he's reluctant to issue a credit? If so that is is bull! I'd cancel with him and either book with him or book on your own through the resort's website. The fact that he is helping 30 other couples is not a valid excuse.
And I might add, that as your TA, he should be looking out for you and letting you know when prices drop, not the other way around.

Re: Starting to get annoyed...
I think I may know who you are talking about... I had the same issue.... but I ended up just having him keep my deposit...which was only 100 at that time....and going with a rare TA and that saved me about 3Gs. He actually argued with me on the phone that it's impossible to get what I was getting at that price...I was like...No it's not...b/c i got it...DUH! lol Def. go with someone else. GL!

Re: Starting to get annoyed...
umm.... sorry thats not how it works! you are supposed to get the lowest price! Did you pay in full already? I went thru my travel agent that my comapny uses (I think I know exactly who you are talking about because I didnt want to work with him.. he seemed fake to me) and he emails me all the time, with different deals and pricing for our HM with the lowest prices! He always gives us the lowest prices.... honestly, cancel.. and rebook yourselves

Did you get insurance? If you did, threaten to cancel and rebook on your own. That might make him want to help you out a little.
Btw...we STILL have not heard back from him. He said he'd call us back today definitely!!!

Have you tried contacting the resort directly? Maybe they'll give you the price adjustment without the hassle of cancelling and rebooking.

I guess a lot of people are trying to get price reduction right now. Especially with Mexico. It seems like the prices for Mexico have dropped dramatically...probably because of all the negative media lately.
