Anyone know if Holiday Inn usually have offers around this time of year?

Jon_01

Looking back I can see they've done things like 2 for 1 and £50 with free breakfasts over the last couple of years, but is this something they always do?

I'm looking to book a couple of days (4th Jan, at the Portsmouth site, not the Express). And don't want to book and then see an offer appear!

Is anyone aware if they always have offers starting before Christmas for the new year??

The web page doesn't work yet for some reason.

Some hotels are inundated with calls and the call waiting system just cuts you off.

One number which directs to the states, gave me an assistant who admitted their systems hadn't updated yet "due to daylight saving time"

She said in about two hours the system should update.

That would be about three am so hope everyone has their caffeine.

Personally i would not hold your breath.

this still does not give the 20.12 price at any of the hotels listed!!

Despite saying it expired in June, it works fine, eg the very nice new Holiday Inn in Winchester is £29.50 for 4-6 Jan. Portsmouth is £59 vs £94 for cheapest Advance Purchase.

Quidco normally also works on the 241 if you save link as a favourite, clear cookies, go to Quidco, go to Holiday Inn, being up the saved link from favourites and then complete the transaction. Often you get cashback for both the free and paid night, so 14% back.

Anyone know what's happened to the B&B for £49 and the 2 nights B&B with one dinner for £99? The old page I had bookmarked seems to be no longer!

EDIT...

Should have tried harder! Found it...but inflation has taken it's toll! 35% inflation too!
