I think that if you could pay for the accommodation when you are not sure of your leave being granted, you are doing that at your own risk. I don’t think the friends are bound to pay her back. They can though, if they can afford to but it is not by force. I feel like she should have had it at the back of her mind that her leave may not be granted.
It is tbh, because there’s a case on both sides. It’s one of those situations where it’s no longer about who’s right or wrong. One party just has to make a compromise for the sake of the friendship.
No but refund from where??? They’re not sleeping in her bed space since they already paid for theirs so them giving her back any money would be out of their pocket. In that case, that’s not a refund - just them paying her for missing her trip. If you cancel on a trip two weeks before, expect a loss
This has me very sad but like you said, where is the money going to come from. If payments and reservations have been made already, then it's no longer in her friends hands. it's her loss I guess. Better plan next time.
Yeah, it’s actually sad for her. I understand why she would hope for a refund - even if it’s partial, but I don’t think it’s fair to demand it outright.
This video is Alma saying trying to convince us and herself that no one should ask for money if they cancel. See how she downplayed that first comment saying the money should be returned. Like if you've already made up your mind why ask? Also is this what you do with your business?
Booking a trip with a travel company is completely different from going on a girls trip with your friends. With travel companies, such as ours, like I already said in the video, there are refund policies already in place. These things are already anticipated and buffers are created in advance. With friends, it’s totally different. If everyone is coming together as a one-time thing to put money together for a trip, who is supposed to draw up refund policies and agreements? There’s no “tour leader” or point-person, they’re just all friends who want to travel together, not professional travel planners. That said, it’s okay to have contrary opinions, and if you have any of such opinions on the situation itself, feel free to share them. If not, please take your aspersions somewhere else.
I’m trying to understand it from her side but I just can’t. She should have gotten her leave first before committing to the trip. And it’s not just her loosing, the friends are also loosing extra money, it’s not their fault too that she didn’t get the leave. Anyways I agree with your response. “Girl bye 👋🏼” 😂
I get, but it’s the same enjoyment they would have had anyway. So they’re basically paying more for no additional value. I’m biased tbh, but even from a more objective standpoint, I agree it will be a show of good faith if her friends refund her - just for the sake of their friendship - but it’s not really nice for her to demand that of them.
@@almaasinobi well..says a lot about their “friendship” doesn’t it..if they had shown “good faith” she wouldn’t have had to demand it ( which she didn’t, because she asked them to pay after the trip..when they could) ..instead they chose to shame her online for asking for her money back 🫠
Alma said "Just Beg me Two Times" LMAO

I totally agree with you.
everyone out here in the comments just talking..like..please! if it was yooouuu, y’all will all ask for your money back asap😂 stap playin!
Gurl bye lol
The people saying refund, they definitely haven’t paid for a trip before.
Your lighting is so so good! Damn! Can we see your set up?
Thank you! I’ll keep in mind to create a filming setup video.
Alma love your hair
@@HennyAgbara thank you 🥰
Her friends could give her a partial refund out of good will, but they shouldn’t be obligated to.
I hear you. Demanding it of them puts them in a difficult position.
I'd prefer to go with strangers
Example: going on a group trip with people I find on kaijego😅
She said they could pay her back after the trip..so it’s not like she was being completely unreasonable
I get it but from where?
Omoooooo
The situation is sooooo tricky

Asking for a refund from her friends is very inconsiderate
I think so too. They’ll be good friends to refund her as a show of good faith, but her expecting and demanding it is rather inconsiderate.
She should just take her L. Where exactly is the refund supposed to come from
Welp 😭
The friend is not serious. Refund as how?
😭
she should just go without a refund, I mean she should have expected it...
yeah..spend more money for their own enjoyment 7:39 you’re biased 😂
