As the title says really , when does your card get charged for travel lodge flexible rate.

I've noticed the room we want is going up and up , happy to pay ours but our friends want a room too and they are on holiday. I'll book using my card if they don't take the payment straight way

With travelodge I always have to payment taken straight away, but than I normally book saver.

Now as a Premier Inn employee you have NO BUSINESS even CONSIDERING staying in a Travelodge!

I have never stayed in Premier Inn, the prices always seem a bit high I always book months in advance, although last travelodge stopover was a total mess up

flexible means you can cancel no charge so def is chargeable at the time of stay

Look out for the saver days - I get emails from PremierInn about them.

PremierInn are far superior to Travelodge IMO. Some of the Travelodges I've seen are little more than doss houses

I managed to get a room for £29 the other week, so they do exist, might have just gotten lucky though!

Op, IIRC travelodge take the payment straight away

It depends on your cc.

Amex only gets charged when you go.

I was booked into one travelodge in September, got there to be told, I had to go to another one :mad: I booked back in March. I was told that the toilet had fallen off the wall so room was no longer available :eek: I had to go to the travelodge I had wanted to avoid. :mad: Annoying, but at least they moved us, just not what you wanted after a long trip back from Ireland.
