Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Today I am launching a fantastic hotel competition in association with The Langham, London. You can win a 2-night weekend break for two people, with breakfast.

You may remember that I reviewed The Langham back in May and was impressed.

The Langham, London was the first ‘grand hotel’ in Europe, opening in 1865. It will be celebrating its 150th anniversary next year and you could be checking in.

Following an £80 million refurbishment, the façade of this historic Victorian building contains a modern five-star luxury property with an excellent Roux-run restaurant, award winning bar and an impressive spa and pool. You are just 90 seconds from Oxford Street and a short walk from Bond Street and the boutique shops of Marylebone High Street.

All Langham hotels offer a special deal to British Airways Executive Club Gold members. Show your BA Gold card at check-in and you will be immediately enrolled in their ‘1865’ loyalty programme at ‘Voyager’ level. This would usually require five stays and gives you the following benefits:

6pm check-out subject to availability – very handy for evening flights

a one category room upgrade subject to availability

free fruit and water

your choice of personalised welcome amenity

free internet

500 Avios points per NIGHT (maximum 3 nights)

Langham Spa

If you are still looking for a Christmas gift, The Langham offers a fantastic range of gift vouchers covering every part of the hotel. You can choose from a range of vouchers for:

meals in the ‘Roux at The Landau’ restaurant

cocktails in ‘The Artesian’ bar – winner of the Drinks International ‘World’s Best Bar’ award

spa treatments

afternoon tea

overnight stays

Gift vouchers are available via this site.

What can you win?

We are giving away a gift voucher for a two-night weekend stay for one or two people in a Grand Room.

Breakfast and Wi-Fi are included and the voucher is valid for 12 months. You can pass on the voucher to a friend or family member if you wish.

The standard price of a gift voucher stay is £360 per night, so your prize is worth £720! In reality, the typical cost of a two-night weekend stay with breakfast at The Langham, London can be over £1,000.

Even if you live in London, it is well worth entering – a weekend at The Langham is probably more fun than staying at home, especially if you don’t have your own swimming pool!

How to enter

With this competition, I am using a new entry system. This allows me some added flexibility and gives you additional chances to win.

You can have up to three entries in the competition:

You receive one entry automatically when you complete your email address (this remains private and will NOT be used by Head for Points for any other purpose)

You receive an additional entry if you tweet a link to the competition (please use the ‘link your account’ option to ensure it tracks properly)

You receive an additional entry if you join The Langham, London email list. You can unsubscribe at any point by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in every newsletter they send.

The rules

You can see the detailed rules by clicking on ‘Terms and Conditions’ in the entry widget. In summary:

You must be 18 years old

You must be a resident of the European Union, Norway or Switzerland

Entries are limited to one submission form – which may get you up to three entries in the draw – per household

The competition closes at midnight, London time, on Friday 5th December

If you cannot see the entry widget below, please click here and you will be directed to a special website to enter.

Good luck. The winner will be announced on Head for Points early next week.

    Agree 100% with Brian (above) Loving all the complaints! Absolutely stunning how people will complain about absolutely anything if it just happens not to go their way. It’s a competition that costs nothing to enter, no one is forcing anyone to enter and results in a prize of £700+ and yet, somehow, there’s scope for moaning?! Just incredible.

  • Brian says:

    I must say I love the way some members of the miles-and-points-collecting community seem to think that they have a God-given right to all benefits available in any way, and are outraged when, for some reason, things aren’t exactly as they want them!

  • Richard says:

    Hi, I’ve tweeted from the above widget and it shows on my twitter page but it doesn’t seem to have registered it on the widget still showing 2 entries (I signed up to the hotel newsletter too)

    • Raffles says:

      If you link your Twitter account then it definitely counts it.

      • Simon says:

        Same issue, tweeted and it didn’t count, but linked my account and it did.

        No issues with the restrictions on this competition. Plenty of free VPNs out there which would allow access from abroad, and much wider use for having one as well!!

  • Eleanor & Mike says:

    Thanks for the comp Raffles!

  • Raffles says:

    The other benefit of this system is that I can actually see comments to OTHER posts – the way I see it as administrator is simply a straight list of comments on all posts merged together which means it is easy to miss stuff when a competition is running.

    Of course, I now have a swamped Twitter feed instead!

  • simon says:

    Nice competition – fingers crossed 🙂

  • John says:

    It would seem that we have a unduly large number of complainers! Why I have no idea, Raffle does a great job giving us many more miles than many of us would get “flying solo”. I agree that the prize provider should gain some benefit if they so wish.

    Keep up the good work

  • Richard Johnson says:

    Like the new system. Ignore the complainers.
