  Thanks Rob. Got WH offer saved on both BA cards. Looking for stay in Inverness April 2024 which is out of the cut off date mentioned by AMEX. Do you think I can call and ask the hotel to charge the cards before stay? or just book non-refundable so it will be charged regardless.

    Non refundable is often not charged in advance anyway – if you did this you should call if not charged in a week or so.

    “The offer ends on 31st July.” according to above.

      I read that wrong. Sorry.

  If we wanted to stay in a World Hotel for 2 nights and my partner and I had the offer on a card each, would the hotel mind us booking a night on each card but at check in say we are together and keep the room for the duration?

    Nobody can say for sure, unless you ask the hotel directly. But i have never had a problem joining separate bookings and starting in the same room or splitting a bill across multiple cards at checkout.

    you’d book 1 night separately in each of your names and make sure not to use the same card. then phone the hotel say 2 days before your stay and mention it again at checkin that if possible you’d like to stay in the same room.

    Technically they could move you and you should make sure to check out from the first booking at or before the official time (phone down or pop by the desk). But normally no problem as you are saving the hotel laundry costs etc.

    • Lady London says:

      However @Cinimo’s solution of just booking 1 stay for all nights in 1 name, using their card to guarantee then splitting the bill across cards, has the advantage of faster accrual of nights on 1 person’s hotel group membership account if that’s better for you. In which case call them now and ask if it will be ok to split the bill across each of your two cards, normally no problem.

      My method above is the one to think about if there’s a promo or other reason it’s more useful for you to earn stays rather than nights (some promos and schemes work that way).

    • Rob says:

      Totally fine. If you’re not pre-paying then even easier – just split the bill across two cards.

  Any of the London hotels any good ?

  The reviews of the Courthouse seem grim (not far off Britannia levels of bad)

    Not wrong there Ken. No wonder “lets hotels remain fully independent but share a common marketing platform” because no hotel platform would want to go anywhere near. Some jaw dropping reviews.

    • Rob says:

      The Courthouse properties have a bit of a buzz about them but never been. Royal Garden has a very well regarded rooftop Chinese restaurant and location is great for Hyde Park / Kensington Palace / High St Ken shopping. Struggle to believe anything in Cricklewood is great 🙂

        I’ve seen this before from the road. It looks like a big old pub from the outside. Photos online look really nice, especially the architecture in the public areas but just read reviews on TripAdvisor and I’d avoid like the plague! Terrible!

  I have driven / walked/ bused past the Salutation Hotel in Ambleside countless times. Never looked terribly exciting and never really wanted to go in.
  Plenty of places in the Lake District that are worth visiting.

  • NorthernLass says:

    They have a 2-night minimum stay as well which makes the offer poorer value.

  Another question!! Do Radisson hotels often go down in price nearer the date of stay? We booked a hotel and it was about £184 a night. I thought I’d check after reading the above, then realised the dates were before the above sale but are now about £148. I wonder if they will go down again. They are cancellable. So I guess it doesn’t matter how often I cancel and rebook?

  I’m not saying which hotel or where as I don’t want someone else to book and it go up again before I have time to rebook!!

  • Rob says:

    Market forces – you simply never know but the trend is up unless they have miscalculated.

• Ken says:

  Hard what to make of this offer.

  The Milton Keynes place is closed and I think hosting asylum seekers.
  Some of the others have truly dreadful reviews but still managing to charge £300 a night.

  Worldhotels owned by Best Western , doesn’t exactly scream upscale, luxury or even independent for that matter.

  I’ll pass.

  Totally off topic, but I just noticed that the price for buying or gifting avios is rising at the end of the month. Same for subscriptions. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere. If you needed to buy some this would be a good time to do it!
