  These ‘Last Call’ things just feel like a waste of an an article. Unless they represent an income stream to HfP I think they’re best just left to ‘Dates for Your Diary’ (which I think is very useful) or a Bits article at most.

    I disagree. If I wanted deals solely catered to my interests, I would make my own site. As of now, if something is not of interest, I move on.

      I’ve read HfP since day one. Always said it’s impossible to please all the readers all the time. No harm in readers giving feedback, positive or negative, as I imagine it has shaped and will continue to shape HfP. What HfP does with the feedback is up to them but feedback’s better than no feedback.

  It’s called a slow news day…..although the One Fine Stay deal seems great they are ridiculously expensive such that £500 back hardly makes a dent.

  But yeh I doubt anyone needs a reminder.

    Yes, I figured slow news or just one of those articles that gets dropped in sometimes so that schedule and balance if other articlez is maintained or improved.

  The offer terms on my Amex App state that you just “book, pay and stay” by Mar 31 2023.

  I looked at the small print of the Onefinestay offer the other day and I’m pretty sure it said “book, pay AND STAY” by 31st of March, which would make it rather useless.

  And yes, their prices are eye-watering so £500 of a £20,000 villa wasn’t that exciting either!

  I tried to use this. Found a villa on the website, went to book and I got quoted three times that price (per night) at the final booking stage. The £500 doesn’t really make much difference.

  We were going to book a villa in Bali for November for our family group. All 4 cards holders paying each for their 3 nights ( NB. each party covered by their own travel insurance that way ) but joined up as a 12 night trip by OFS. It was working out at a very reasonable price. Chef etc. included.
  UNTIL we double checked small print. Had to STAY by end March.
  When l spoke to them in Atlanta, they said we could book, pay etc for a March stay, and switch dates to Nov. Decided it was too risky esp if the owner denied the request. But as a family group going to a villa needing 4 bedrooms, it definitely works but only somewhere cheaper like Bali. Not even Phuket would not work for us price wise, way too expensive.

  Also it took Amex plat from Oct 12th to 1st March to pay out 200 USD credit. It was an add on. From our rolled over booking from 2 years ago, when they did a great offer. Kept denying it. Quite humiliating calling 5 times for the credit. They simply didn’t understand it, l think, in the end. So, kept passing the buck at Brighton.
  TBH, all the other credits from that booking came in within 5 days. Which was why we were surprised that the recent one failed to credit.

  They really have some beautiful villas in Bali. Our Nov 22 stay was in a gorgeous villa group. Included a very elegant breakfast served in the attached Italian restaurant (both owned by an ltalian living near by) or served in the villa. We were very well looked after. Villa was really well maintained.
