I am confused with how to book a "placeholder" ABD. My TA sent an e-mail as follows:
As long as I have been doing this deposits were non-refundable/non-transferable 14 days after you booked the Adventure- you could cancel it or move it within that 14 day window of booking but then it became non-refundable
This contradicts what I understand about a "placeholder". I am looking to move our October 20, 2020 Egypt ABD as we won't be going and I do not plan on making our PIF next month (if ABD follows their pattern they won't cancel the trip until mid-August and our PIF is next month). The deposit for this trip was moved from our Rhone River cruise (that we booked before the Egypt trip was announced), so I'm not sure if we would be eligible to move it again.
At this point I am thinking that if they don't want to let me move my deposit to another date I will just walk away and be done with them. I think they should be flexible during these uncertain times and not force people to either travel or lose their money.
