I have been trying to get in touch with checkmyflights on and off for the past year with no luck speaking to anyone. No one returns calls, emails or FB msgs.
I had a flight from SYD-MEL booked with you for last April. Reservation number V75964 and all i need is a letter of authority releasing the flight so I can get a credit from Virgin. Not hard, but does require a reply.

REFERENCE: CMF-2020-04202
March 2020 I booked 5 tickets for a family holiday. These 3 of these tickets were with another online travel agent and 2 were with Checkmyfares. These were exactly the same airfare conditions, airline company and purchasing conditions for all 5 tickets. I have just received a full refund for the 3 tickets with the other online travel agent. This is now proof that you are withholding my money. I would appreicate if you could kindly provide me with my fiull refund. I have have tried to contact you through both phone and email and I am not getting any response.If this matter is not resolved promplty you leave me no choice but to take this matter further.

These guys are literally the worst
These guys are literally the worst. They were regularly communicating with me regarding my refund for flights in march 2020, I requested an update 3 weeks ago and have since emailed every single day with no response. I understand the process is lengthy but I think at the minimum a response to my queries should be accepted. Checkmyfares are scammers and are only lining their own pockets

The WORST scam travel website on the internet!!!
Never, ever book with this absolute scam of a website! Still waiting on a refund for cancelled flights from Syd to Fiji 9 months later. I’ve sent them 64 emails chasing the refund and have continually been told ‘the refund is coming’. Fiji Airways have released the funds but checkmyfares.com won’t return the money! Currently they are not responding to my emails at all.... I have contacted the ACCC and by the looks of these reviews so have many others. Stay away!!!!!

Guys it’s time to initiate a class action, both CheckMyFair and Qatar Airline must be responsible. These guys had the refund from Qatar Airways and still not refunding customers, time to join up and start a class action, I suggest a Facebook page. Please contact me if you experienced the same.

Nearly 12 months since our flight from Melbourne to the UK was cancelled due to the Covid outbreak. Been in contact with CMF on several occasions and still nothing but excuses. This is beyond poor service and should be a warning to any other people who are fooled into using this company for a flight booking. I will continue to try to get our refund and will not give up as this is not a small amount of hard earned money and would like to finally put this whole disaster to the back of my mind

SCAMMERS!!!!!
DO NOT EVER BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! I wish I could give them ZERO stars. I cannot believe this is happening to this many people! It has been about 11 months now STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND!! Countless emails with the same generic response from them. I was told my money had been sent to them from the airline, almost 5 months ago however apparently has been with their "OIC" since then!! Are they for real!?!?!? They are literally withholding everyone's money just to keep their company afloat! This can't be legal.
Now, since I have advised them that I will be emailing them every single day until I have confirmation that my refund has been transferred they have stopped responding to me all together! And of course they have disconnected all of their phone lines so no one can call them. Absolute joke.

10 months still waiting for refund, lied to Fair Trading
After 10 months of waiting, excuses and delays in paying my refund, CMF assured Fair Trading the refund would be paid by 12 February. No surprise, they lied to Fair Trading and the refund still has not been paid. The airline processed the refund months and months ago, CMF are just holding on to it.
Same stock standard response from CMF below. Just one excuse after another. CMF assured both myself and Fair Trading the refund would be paid - but it hasn't. CMF stop blaming the airlines - the carrier refunded my fare to CMF months ago!

Bunch of Liars and Dodgy people
It's gonna be nearly a year and I've not yet been refunded for my tickets. Every time I write to them, they give me a different excuse. First they kept saying the airline has not refunded. Now it's been over 4 months since the airline refunded the amount to them but they aren't paying me. Keep saying, that they are short of staff so it's taking time. The next time I was told I've been put on the priority list (This was in October). Now they keep writing back that they have a process. Bunch of liars and untrustworthy people.

Got my refund finally
Like most people here, even I was frustrated with CMF not processing refund. Apparently my refund was in reconciliation process for the last 7 months- that's the reason CMF gave. After countless emails back and forth, I requested my bank for a chargeback. Finally, I got my money back via chargeback process.
I would recommend for all those waiting for their refund, to request for a chargeback. Provide the bank with email correspondence you have had with CMF as proof.
I know any chargeback request should be place within 90 days, however, any bank would entertain a request. As in my case it was more than 6 months and my bank understood the situation and helped me.
My only reason for putting this here is because CMF is lying and refusing to refund someone's hard earned money. I hope this helps to get your money back.
