Does Cheaptickets still charge $25 if you cancel reservation?

Does Cheaptickets still charge $25 if you cancel your reservation? I have one room at POFQ on a bounceback, thinking of having the adult kids come with us, so we would need a second room.

I can save money if I book through Cheaptickets. It's not like it will kill me to pay the fee, just if I don't get decent flights for them, we may not take everyone. I got mine and my husband's plane tickets for $225 each, less than a week ago and now the same flights are $350. Both flights are about 1/4 full so I'm hoping they drop some, but who knows...

Last I checked, yes.

there must be somewhere in their fine print that says they do, because it says no cancellation fees on the payment page if you cancel 5 days before, but I don't trust them.

I made a reservation for ASMo using Cheaptickets in late January 2018, for an April stay, then cancelled it a few days later, and paid no cancellation fee (full refund of prepaid rate). The booking confirmation very explicitly said no cancellation fees up to 5 days before arrival date.

Edited to add: I just checked, and I actually booked two different stays, then cancelled both, and full refund each time. (First booking I cancelled because I'd forgotten to enter the promo code, second booking I cancelled because I changed my hotel plans and booked with another agency.)

It totally says full refund. It would save me $200. So maybe I’ll just bite the bullet.

I’ve never had to pay a cancellation fee with them.
