In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a question about reimbursing a couple that bailed on planned group trip.
Each couple paid one-fourth of the total to the owner in advance.
A week before our planned vacation, one couple contracted Covid. As two of the other travelers were immunocompromised, the Covid Couple chose to cancel, even though they would probably have been well enough to travel by the time the house share was to start. The owner of the house graciously reduced the price to that for three couples and refunded the difference .Some people believe that those who traveled should equally reimburse the Covid Couple the $600, leaving the travelers to pay the cost of the house.
Some think the Covid Couple is out of luck since they canceled late, even though the owner reduced the total price.Thoughts?I agree that the Covid Couple is out of luck – much as they would be if one had broken an ankle and couldn’t travel. However – friends stay friends by picking up the pieces when tough things happen, and if it wouldn’t break the bank for each traveling couple to reimburse the Covid Couple $200, then that’s what they should do.
