:: What is the best thing that a £1.00 can do for you? ::

When you live here in UK, sometimes you feel that nothing much that you can do with such an amount of money. Well, this experience had reflected me of what such an amount of money can do to my life. Last year (if I'm not mistaken, end of December 2008), I had booked a 3-day hotel room somewhere in UK for April 2009. However, something came up and we had to cancel the trip. Fortunately, when I booked the room, I had also bought the room cancellation insurance. I did not know actually why I bought it at that time, because normally I wouldn't pay for such an insurance. First, I thought maybe this is just a business marketing strategy, the hotel will just get more benefit rather than helping the users. Second, even if I cancel the room booking, it must have been difficult to claim for the insurance. But, when I had to cancel the booking, I contacted the person-in-charge and they gave me a claim number and a form to be filled. I filled all the details and returned back the form to them together with the proofs. Guess what? Just in a few weeks (actually just in two-week time), I got a FULL refund of my booking! Although it may not be that much but hey!!...it's for a 3-day hotel room! And the best part is... it wasn't that much hassle as I thought it would be.... and I GOT IT ... without any further investigation.. BUT of course with a reasonable justification that make it eligible for claiming purpose.. not just simply claim because you cancel the trip.. Ok guys, just a penny tip for you guys.
