  It seems like you can print the voucher as many times as you like – how do they keep track on whether you have exceeded the maximum number that you’re allowed? I also can’t detect any reason that they require a valid e-mail address, so you could in effect just make them up and book as many nights as you like! Or am I missing something?

    No, I don’t think you’re missing anything! Obviously if you book more than 3 nights at the same property there is a decent chance they will stop you, but I doubt anyone at Ramada is collecting and cross-referencing vouchers at different hotels.

  Ive booked but does it include breakfast?

    Not at Encore properties, neither is internet it seems. However, internet IS free at the Ramada London Docklands – not sure if this applies to all Ramada (not Ramada Encore) properties.

  Quite handy, working in central London and commuting from Hertfordshire I think I may book 1 night per week for most of next year in the Docklands hotel! The train costs me close to £20 to commute home anyway, it would be nice once per week to have a short journey to bed and have someone clean up after me. I’m very surprised that the voucher does not have some kind of code. One thing that has only just occured to me – perhaps Ramada will keep track on names and not honour any bookings after they see your name appear more than 3 times in connection with the promotion? Either way, thanks for the heads up, this will still be very handy for a few nights at Gatwick that I require next year for various holidays etc.

    Given that wireless is free, and that I pay £17 / day for a Regus day office in The City when I need one, this is an interesting alternative given free wi-fi in Docklands. At least I can have a kip in the afternoon if I fancy one!

      Done it, couldn’t resist – booked a couple of days for January. It will be a change from Regus anyway! Now BMI has gone, I have set my Wyndham Rewards account to earn 500 Miles & More miles per stay, not that I expect to get them.

    Do they require ID at check in? Can you use different credit cards which have slightly different names or something, e.g. some of mine have certain initials and some don’t, some foreign cards have surname first etc..

    • Raffles says:

      No, UK hotels do not by law have to ask for photo ID, although of course they can if they want. You could book some nights in your name and some in, say, middle name and surname, or indeed using a different first name. However, I would not do more than 3 nights at the same hotel and I would ensure I used a different credit card and email for each block of bookings. I would also keep my Wyndham Rewards number out of it.

  Nice offer but seems that rather than going for a short window to use the offer they’re going for a short window to book instead – entirely reasonable but doubt in the next week I’ll be able to be definite enough about my travels next year to make a confirmed booking!

  is this offer valid only for UK residents? or open to all? thanks

  • Raffles says:

    14 Oct14 October 17:18

    Open to all … no way of checking.

  sorry, one more questions, is the max 2 consecutive nights or 3? if travelling with my husband can we do in both names at same hotel?
  Thanks for a great blog , i read daily , though i am in the USA, i still find it very helpful

  • Raffles says:

    It is max 2 consecutive nights and 3 nights in total over the year. No reason why you could not book back to back with your husband, though.

      Actually, the T&C on Indy (and Ramada) state that:

      “…up to a maximum of two nights per booking…”

      and

      “No more than three bookings per person can be made using this offer.”

      By these rules, it indicates that one person can make a max of 3 bookings of 2 nights each. It seems to me you can make a booking of 6 nights per partner for a total of 12 nights before breaking the rules and having to possibly manipulate the system.

      It also states that the rate “…is not eligible for Wyndham Rewards points.”

      Finally, nowhere does it specify that tokens must be unique, so I cannot see why you wouldn’t just print out 6 of the same token (given above and not bother with the Indy form).

        Good spot, looks like I misread it. Will amend the original post. Thanks.
