The bargain price he said he was giving was the same as British Airways. The price was 60 pence cheaper than British Airways, so its better to look at the airline's page before using discount websites... See more

Pleasantly surprised having read mixed reviews. The sales assistant was extremely thorough - checked all options and found us a very competetive price with a good airline - sent us an email to confirm... See more

I love the wise mise I highly recommend

I don't have a bad word to say about the wise miser and Jay who mostly helps me get all booked with the best prices I have to say they are the best out there wouldn't go anywhere else for my flights and I recommend to everyone as I've been booking with them for about 10years now so I have plenty of experience with this company and nothings ever went wrong x

They don’t even deserve 1 star but no…

They don’t even deserve 1 star but no option to not leave any 🤬
I booked and paid for my flights to and from Fiji back in July.
4 weeks before travel I was to be sent my tickets
However 4 weeks 3 days before travel I received a text stating scheduled change to check my email, on checking my email they claimed the flight had been cancelled, I contacted the airline 100% not cancelled, They then emailed stating the airline cancelled my booking with no explanation again I contacted the airline to be told Wise Miser should have sent my full payment to them by 6th Of September BUT THEY DIDNT, They didn’t at any point attempt to give my part of money to the airline, which resulted in my booking being cancelled. This was 27 days before they even tried contacting me with their lies.
Their last attempt at trying to get out of it is that because I paid in instalments over 14 days that they couldn’t book my flight, They say this was on 29th July the date I had to make full payment by. The airline confirms my booking was there the entire time until the 6th September and the only reason it’s gone is because Wise Miser Didn’t pay them.
They refuse to reinstate my flight as it will cost them 2300 but will re book it if I pay the 2300
Why should I pay a penny?
This is totally their fault
Not mine in any way
I have used Wisemiser since 2016
I will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN and will ensure no one else does either

Even after they were caught out with their lies instead of apologising they just came up with another, Thankfully all via email so I have all the evidence.

No Consumer Credit protection. Stay away!

WiseMiser are an intermediary for Citrus Holidays. So when you book with Citrus using a Credit card you are not protected by a "debtor-credit-supplier" agreement under section 75 of the consumer credit act 1974. As result there is no protection.
Citrus holidays have had my money for almost 18 months and have nothing but excuses. Suggest you stay well away.

Requested a refund 18 weeks ago, not received or heard anything back from these guys in weeks . Have called and emailed numerous times but still not got my money back !! I called the airline who informed me that they had issued refunds months ago & that all the travel agents should have the money. Disgusting service

booked holidays but no luggage added!

i have booked the 2 weeks holidays to turkey with JIM from wisemiser (Jim-citrusholidays.co.uk) wih my child only to find out that the flight they booked has no main lugagge included only hand luggage. Not only i have provided the agent with the hotel details and flight details because he couldnt find anything within my budget (which was a total lie because there were many hotels avaliable when i looked ) but he blaimed on me that i didnt mention im gonna need a luggage (like if im going on 2 weeks vacation with a child with just a hand luggage !)
appealing and unproffesional
the guy clearly doesnt know how to do his job and blaiming on the customer
below any customer service standards
disgusting company and rip off , just want to make any bookings and take your money.
they should be grateful i have booked with them despite the covid situation !
because of their mistake i have to pay extar £120 to have enough clothes taken on 2 weeks vacation
I have now contacted the company and waiting for their response regarding this matter

The wise miser. Didn’t honour my booking

I booked a flight 3 days ago for me and my son
To dalaman from Glasgow
For July 19
When I booked and paid for the flight
It said I was flying out business class
And flying back premium economy
That’s bigger seating I needed due to my disability
Then next day I get email from the wise miser saying I’m flying out and back in economy
I’ve been stung
I have now raised a complaint with these people I know il get knowhere
But hopefully ombudsman listens to me once I go through there complaints procedure
Il update this
When I hear what they have to say
But be warned and careful using the wise miser
Thanks
Steven Timmons
How can yous reply to me directly
Yous blocked my two email accounts

I’ve already reported yous to action fraud and fraud team at my bank

Funny tho a company that’s been trading 30 years is not covered bye abta
Update 10/4/19
The wise miser still not got back to me
Over a month later
At the end of day
I booked a flight flying out business class and back premium economy
They are now telling me I did book that flight but it was a computer glitch lol
So now they are refusing to honour that booking and took the easy option and refunded my cash
Now a company that does not honour a booking
Is that a company that you would want to use ???
I emailed them several time asking them to honour the booking or compensate me accordingly
They would not reply to my emails
Now is that the kind of company anyone would use ???
I lost out on my 14 day holiday
I cut it to 9 days to get this flight. Now the hotel fully booked so I cannot get my 14 day holiday

I’m asking on here to the wise miser to sort this out
C,mon the wise miser
Send me a email ????????
And they also reported me to trustpilot
Trying to get this add removed rather than do the right thing
So I have taken a lot of wording from my add
Update 15/5/19
Still awaiting a reply to my over 10 emails
Il keep updating till this is sorted
