  I just managed to book the Novotel in Greenwich for tonight for £60. Normal price is showing at £149. Saves me spending time and money on a cab back to Kent after my Christmas party plus I can spend the afternoon in Greenwich which is a result in my eyes.

  Can’t believe I missed the Las Vegas redemption offer, im heading there 30th for 8 nights. Anybody got any tips I’m happy to hear them

  The Accor deal was very well-timed for me! Three single-night stays duly booked.

  One interesting point is that you can use Le Club Accorhotels for some, though not all, of the hotels – which is unusual for their deeply discounted rates. It seems to be possible for Novotels in London, at least.

  I can’t find availability at the Ibis Heathrow for GBP25 for some reason. Cheapest I find is 44pounds…

  OT: Tesco Living Magazine finally arrived in Dundee. One of our main Tesco Extra stores has a whole batch of new gift cards including M&S (my favourite), Boots, Jamie’s Italian, Vue & Odeon Cinemas! Brilliant news! Wish they would sell Amazon!

    Tesco selling M & S gift cards? I have never seen them in any of my big local stores.

    • Liz says:

      28 Nov28 November 12:33

      Yes it’s brilliant – £15 & £25 cards !

        What do people buy from M & S? I haven’t been able to be inspired by them for years… I’d really like to know what I’m missing (genuinely curious)

          Only in there for food, 2for£10 meal deals, + Xmas eve they can have 75% off

          If you’re looking for cheapish, no-nonsense stuff like socks, underwear or slippers, M&S is fine. Plus the food section can be okay, compared to places like Sainsbury’s or Tesco.

        • Liz says:

          I like their food and Per Una and Indigo clothes ranges plus we have one with a great cafe.

        • Sam says:

          M&S? Dine in for £10, and the Belgian Truffles (half price at £5 this weekend!). Couldn’t tell you about the clothes though.

        • CV3V says:

          Usually, well always, food. This weekend they have the usual dine in for £10 deals, but you can swap the wine for a bottle of their Oudinot champagne for an extra tenner. The champagne sells at £25 per bottle for most of they year, sometimes reduced to £16. So a great deal.

          School shoes and uniform. They generally seem better quality than much of what’s available.

        Don’t forget for Tesco mag voucher card must be >£20 for the 100 pt bonus…

    Hi Liz, you will be pleased to know I wasted no time at all Wednesday night seeking an HHonors status match for my spire! Icing on the cake as I wasfaced with a hilton stay I don’t need to retain gold, having now started using hilton in Asia. Thanks for tip on M&S.

    • Liz says:

      28 Nov28 November 16:48

      I’ve done the same – spotted it on here a couple of days ago and sent off my email! I’ll be really happy if I get gold! I’ve redeemed all my 300,000 IHG pts for our USA trip next year. Started collecting Hilton points to give them a try and about to take out the Hilton credit card in my husbands name.

      • James67 says:

        Keep an eye on pointsbreaks before your trip, if something suitable comes up you will be able to refund some of those 300k.As gold already I hope to get HH diamond but retainging gold would be good enough. I’m not so hung up on hoyels rooms as some: I’m rarely in them except to sleep so breakfast is the more important benefit for me.

        • Liz says:

          29 Nov29 November 06:46

          I’ll keep an eye out for points break but probably wouldn’t be so lucky ! We re the same with hotels – we like to be “oot and aboot” as they say! We have booked a lovely Indigo hotel in New Orleans and a CP in Houston which for some unknown reason is pricing at $900 per night for what looks like a standard room! Breakfast included would be great too!

        • James67 says:

          Have’t been in years but I used to find rates in Texas often outrageous; there is probably a convention on at the time. Indigos are great, never failed to get a suite upgrade at Kensington. Pointsbreaks have become poor in last couple of years but you never know.

  • Karl says:

    Noticed quite a few gift cards I’ve never seen before today. As well as M+S there were Netflix, Odeon and Vue, all of which I use regularly.

    • Danny says:

      28 Nov28 November 19:08

      That probably explains why I haven’t seen M & S cards before, although they still have not reached South London yet 🙂

• Sam says:

  It’s very buggy – tried booking 3 rooms at the Ibis Leeds – and 1 room defaults to 3 times the price so you can’t finish the booking. But 3 individual bookings worked fine at £25 a night. Cracking deal though – cheaper than their travel industry rates! And the online breakfast at £5.95 – can’t imagine i’d save much more finding something local post night out.
