    book it in the other halfs name and pretend its her credit card. I am staying at the Dei Cavalieri this weekend (oh the jetset) so will update you on Monday with a mini review.

    who did you use as a price comparison may i ask?

    For my holiday dates I have the following i can price match with.....


    AlphaRooms £224.34
    reserveahotelonline.com £225.00
    holidaynights 226.80
    find-rooms.com £227.00
    DIY Travel 239.70

    Which is easiest, most hassle free to compare against?

    I have read through this forum post and Im aware of how this works but Im very scraed of booking a hotel, especially at some of the 4 star prices and being told they wont give me a refund! Im wanting to go to Barcelona or Venice on the 6th june till the 13th june, can anyone help and let me know of any deals that I will definatley get the refund on!
    Thanks
    Laura

    I was nervous before I did this, but don't forget you can cancel the original booking and incur a fee of £20. I appreciate this isn't money saving, but I decided it was a risk worth taking to get the deal I was going for. I STILL haven't had confirmation from them - I booked Mon eve.

    I have just nominated TBeckett100 and Budgetflyer jointly for post of month - I realise there was a Barcelona thread before but I have only really picked up on this fully from this thread - so many thanks to both of you - BF for the invaluable guide you have written and to you both for your continued help/advice you dispense to others.

    I would urge anyone else who's benefitted to do the same!

  • Hi, i'm a newbie :hello:

    I found this thread earlier, thanks for the very useful info, however not been having much luck in finding a good deal. I have been searching all night, want to go Madrid 18 April for 4 nights, however been looking and looking and can't seem to find anything that's much cheaper than what i'd already planned to pay. Am about to give up, but annoyed as wanted to take advantage of such a good opportunity! Can anyone help, maybe I have missed something?

    If you also refer to my "get Double the diff back from EJH guide"

    hopefully these should make it easy to pick out the wheat from the chaf.

    Laura- fortune favours the brave.Go for it:j:j:j
    You can cancel for £20. if they KB it and still save a fortune on their rates.
    7 days is often hard due to availability. so why not do A "DOUBLE THE DIFFERENCE CASHBACK BARCELONA TWIN CENTRE" (copywrite budgetflyer 2007;))

    Ist bit

    4* City Park NIcuagura

    6 June 4 nights

    EJH B+B £634
    Alpharooms B+B £351
    diff= 283
    times 2= 566
    effective price 634-566= £68

    2nd bit

    10 june for 3 days

    You will need a different name ie your partner or travelling companion + CC for this and email address for 2nd claim

    4* Barcelo Sants

    EJH dbl/twin B+B £359
    Alpharooms dbl/twin B+B £238
    diff = £121
    times 2= 242
    effective price= 359-238= £121

    There you go Laura, over a grands worth of 4 * accom. including breakfast for 2(according to EJH:rolleyes:)
    but Your effective price = --> £189<--
