Full refund
A pass that has never been scanned at any museum is refundable in full, no questions asked, any time before its validity window would have ended. Because the pass only activates on first scan, an unused pass has cost you nothing to hold.
Travel plans shift, and a refund policy should be readable in one sitting, not decoded from fine print. Here is ours, in full. The short version: an unused pass is fully refundable, a partly used one is partly refundable on a clear rule, and changing your coverage or dates before you start is straightforward. There are no buried penalties and no "processing fees" invented at the moment you ask for your money back.
Three situations cover almost everything. Each is stated as plainly as we can make it.

If you have started using a pass but your trip is cut short, we refund the unused portion on a clear pro-rata basis against the validity window. The exact calculation is shown to you before the refund is processed, so there are no surprises.
Bought the wrong region or the wrong length? As long as you have not scanned it, we swap it for the right one and settle any price difference either way. No swap fee.
To request a refund, a change or a swap, write to us through the contact page or reply to your confirmation email, telling us the pass and what you need. Keep your purchase confirmation handy — it has the reference that lets us find your pass instantly. We process approved refunds back to the original payment method; how long the money takes to land depends on your bank and card, usually a few working days, which is outside our control but which we will always confirm we have sent. For a group pass, the organiser who bought it handles the refund for the party, and we refund the whole purchase or the unused portion to the original payer.
One honest limit: a separately ticketed special exhibition that a museum sold you directly is the museum's transaction, not ours, so its refund follows that museum's policy, not this one. Everything we sold you, we stand behind under the rules on this page.
We process approved refunds promptly to your original payment method. How quickly it then appears depends on your bank, typically a few working days. We confirm the moment we have sent it.
No. We do not charge a refund or "processing" fee. An unused pass comes back in full; a partly used one comes back pro-rata. What you are owed is what you receive.
The validity window runs continuously from the first scan and cannot be paused, but if your trip is cut short you are refunded the unused portion. Before your first scan, you can change or swap freely. See the pricing page for how validity windows work.
If a covered museum is closed for reasons outside your control during your validity window and that materially reduces what your pass was worth, tell us — we will look at it case by case and make it right, whether by extending the window or refunding fairly. We do not hide behind "the museum closed, not us"; you bought coverage from us in good faith and we stand behind it.
Send us one message with your pass reference and we will sort it.
