hi everyone

just a heads up... am looking to book a hotel (sadly not Vegas, though this might help if you are looking to book at the moment!), and Quidco has 12% cashback on hotel bookings (edit - with ebookers).

seeing as i'm looking to book a hotel for 8 nights next year, this will add up to a pretty decent saving!

is there anything i'm missing with this, anyone been caught before - e.g. small print says it's for first time buyers, etc.

can't see anything, but usually when something is too good to be true...!

It is legit, I have been using Quidco for hotel cashback for a long time now. It's a good amount!

I've racked some good cash back with them just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something!

I should have said, this is with ebookers.

Bargain
How did you book? Was that price per ticket or for the two
Do you buy perm economy then upgrade or book outright

Last time we did first out/business return with airmiles but don't think got enough this time

I have 80 dollars TR credits. Can I have this turned into 80 dollars freeplay and does this "freeplay" need to be played through a few times before being cashed?

Could you tell me what the pools are like please?

I like the
Comfortable loungers missing from some of the other nice hotels
It's shaded plenty in places which is handy

Should be able to exchange for slot play. I think you'd need to cycle it through once.

I just got back today from the Venetian :mad: and I can tell you that the pools are amazing. There is the party pool, which always looks packed or the main Venetian pool, which was busy when we were there. We always went to a pool in between the Venetian and the Palazzo, which was quieter. You could still hear the music from the main pool but there weren't as many people there. That pool is shallow (2 feet?) at both ends going to 3'6" in the middle. The beds are comfortable, you collect towels on the way in. There are water fountains dotted around but if you're thinking of hiring a cabana, they're $300 a day.

it depends on what tier you are - even 7 stars is only $125 TR/$100...gold/platinum is $200 TR / $100.

Not sure whether you have to play it through a certain number of times or not.
