Notes on Payments

From Terms & Conditions

Exchange Rates

- Self-Catered Accommodation and Services Items (Lift Passes etc.) are priced in €EUR Euros.

- For those paying in £GBP sterling, any €EUR Euros figure is converted to £GBP Sterling at the applicable exchange rate at time of payment. 

- Thus, guests within the same party booking the same Accommodation - or Services - but on different days with different exchange rates - will always pay the same €EUR Euro figure, but may pay a different amount in £GBP sterling.

- The balance on the accommodation is to be paid in the same currency as the currency used for the deposit.

- The Foreign Exchange website Travelex is used as the reference for FX rates.  Booking with SBS confirms acceptance of these rates for any FX calculations.

Payment

Please always go to the Make Payments Page to make a payment for any item – either Accommodation Balance or Services.

Bank Transfer Transactions:

£GBP Sterling To allow you to set up a Bank Transfer payment, our bank details will be provided as you go through the stages on the Make Payments pages. Payments by UK BACS transfer should incur no charge.

€EUR Euros To allow you to set up a Bank Transfer payment, please contact us for our French bank details. There may be charges associated with a €EURO Bank Transfer, please check with your bank.

Bank Transfer Charges If there are any charges associated with any Bank Transfer, please instruct your bank to apply all charges to your own account. Smitten By Snow must receive the full amount as requested.

Please notify us by email once you have made the Bank Transfer. This allows us to track your payment and confirm to you as soon as the payment is received.

Bank Card Transactions:

- This is possible for £GBP Sterling payments, but currently not for €EUR Euros.  We do not make any additional charges for Bank Card payments.

-There is an upper maximum of £5,000 that can be accepted on any single card transaction. If your total is going to exceed this, can you please break the total down to a number of payments, each to an amount that brings each payment to less than the £5,000 limit.

Purchases on third-party websites in €EUR Euros/ or in France with €EUR Euros cash. 
For those considering booking through third-party websites for ski items (i.e. pay directly through a ski website for ski hire or Lift Passes in €EUR Euros); for most Card types there is a charge of up to 3% for Foreign Exchange - over and above any other card charges.

If you are intending to pay for items in resort by withdrawing €EUR Euros cash on a card, there may be an additional cash handling charge of up to 3%, plus the 3% Foreign Exchange charge plus interest charged each day for a cash withdrawal. Please check with your Card Provider. Thus, in most cases, it should be more cost-effective to pre-book Lift Passes etc. and pay for them through the Smitten By Snow website.

Price Match Service

We back this up by offering a Price-Match service for Accommodation or Services that are available in Belle Plagne. Please send us a copy of a quote you have received, or a screen-dump of a website offer, and we aim to match it.
