  I’ve just left the Mercure London Bridge after a 3 night stay for £60 a night, after finding the opaque sites very expensive even on Sunday night. It’s a great location and a very decent hotel, given that they warn the standard rooms are ‘cosy’, ie a bit smaller than average but fine as long as you don’t have a huge amount of luggage. So, thanks to Head For Points for the Happy Mondays tip 🙂

    Yes, me. It DOES work via the normal home page if you follow the instructions in the article.

      Indeed it does. I got there in the end, thank you.

  A big thank-you for the reminder about Happy Mondays. I had booked the Crowne Plaza near ExCel on points for 2 nights due to the high pricing for the convention at the venue. Cash price would have been >£250 per night.

  I found it odd, with 60,000 people attending ExCel over 3 days, that the Novotel directly opposite had spare rooms, and even more so that they were willing to sell them for £60 when they could have sold for 4 times that price.

  Nonetheless, I went ahead and booked for 2 nights at £120, and cancelled my IHG booking, getting my 90,000 points back. I know the value of those exactly (£357.59), as I bought 120,000 IHG points using the 100% bonus offer recently, so I make that a saving of £237.59 thanks to Happy Mondays. (Oh, and I got an upgrade to an Executive Room and the usual welcome drink thanks to my Accor Platinum card via Amex Platinum).

  That’s on top of the £176 I saved versus cash prices by using said IHG purchased points instead of cash for a few nights last month in France (including the Intercontinental Grand Bordeaux, again thanks to HFP!).

  Currently writing this while charging devices and enjoying a free coffee from Pret via the My Gatwick scheme, which is better than nothing given the No.1 Traveller lounge in the South Terminal is (inevitably) full and my Virgin status just dropped back to silver 🙁

    An update on Happy Mondays.
    I booked yesterday – and it allowed me to part pay for my stay with points.
    Happy Mondays rate has never previously been a “pay with points rate” –

    unfortunately my £25 room was too cheap as the minimum conversion is for 2000 points = 40 Euros = more than £25!!!

    But managed to pay for my £40 Novotel rooms mainly with points earned from their generous promos in the last couple of years.

    Cheers.

      Interesting. The pay with points option never appears for me with HM… I wonder if there’s a trick to making it appear.
