TRAVELODGE how I got a room for £11.40, £34.40 for 3 nights

bigvince76

Last year I had to spend a month in Edmonton, Canada. Back then hotels.com gave £10 per booking through quidco, scored £320 cashback! I told the receptionist at check in and they were fine about it except I had to move rooms two weeks in to the stay for some reason, never found out why but I was not complaining. Hotels.com not longer give £10 cashback :-(

If it's the Travelodge in CENTRAL Cardiff near the railway station do watch out for rooms facing the main road with windows that don't close fully and/or secondary-glazing installed the wrong way around so the seals seal air, while leaving the gaps open <durh!>.

And avoid the rooms right at the back of the hotel as there was a weekend disco back there - although from your dates you'll miss that.

I stayed there a couple of years back and clearly their maintenance programme/management at that time was seriously flawed and previous customers had clearly not complained enough. It was only the 4th room I was allocated that I was prepared to stay in!

Brilliant information.I don't want to go too far off topic, but maybe a thread on management and lack of repairs at Travelodge could be an idea on here.
I do get the feeling that it won't be too long before certain posters say
'you get what you pay for'.But let's also give Travelodge praise .
I'm off to start the thread

I know there is a thread for £15 a night stay at Travelodge but thought I could help more MSE's by posting this.
Here's how I got 3 nights for £34.20p. Quidco are paying £3.60 cashback for each booking. I wanted to stay in Cardif for 3 nights, instead of booking 3 nights on 1 booking I booked each night on seperate transactions.
Booking 1) Sep 30th cost £15 via Quidco £3.60 cashback = £11.40
Booking 2) Oct 1st cost £15 via Quidco £3.60 cashback = £11.40
Booking 3) Oct 2nd cost £15 via Quidco £3.60 cashback = £11.40
Hey presto !!!!!!!!! TOTAL COST for 3 nights £34.20.
There are loads of rooms left, happy booking

Hi
As these are linked nights do you think that you will get 3 x £3.60 payouts?Hoping they don't class it as one booking at the same hotel.
Well done for posting this and good luck if you do get it successfully paid after tracking.

I booked 3 nights in a hotel in London via pigsback as single bookings. They kept us in the same room and I got 3 x 500 = 1500 points (£15 cashback).

As long as you let them know at check-in, then they'll most probably keep you in the same room.

but booking them all seperately would make them seperate bookings, meaning you would have to swap rooms every nite as they hotel will see them as seperate bookings

Maybe not.

I had situation last year. Two consecutive bookings, same lodge, one cheap rate, one full. When I checked in the firrst nite, they recognised that I had two back to back bookings and I had the same room throughout.

Yes I'm sure will get 3 seperate payouts as I have 3 seperate confirmations and receipts for the 3 payments

can we do this for other locations?

Sure Spikey, I have also booked 2 nights in Tiverton, got the same outcome. 3 nights Cardiff, 2 nights Tiverton, that's 5 x £3.60, saving £18.00 Brill!!

tried this both yesterday and today. Booked each day seperately but only £7.20 tracked - (£3.60 yesterday and the same again today). Perhaps they only pay one lot of commision per day now?
