    Managed to book 6 nights at Berlin Intercontinental w/ breakfast in March for £330 + a tiny amount of Avios. Would have been £797 on Alpharooms.

  I’m struggling to find any availability in the summer school holiday – using Avios.com – in the Algarve other than the Hotel Monaco. Am I looking at the wrong website?

    Use ba.com/ecoffers link – that works fine.

  Also cash bookings earn Avios (2/£) I think.

  Conrad Algarve is available if you select 2 adults , but if you enter 2 kids as well then its not bookable , any way around this ?

    You’ll need to book 2 connecting rooms. A King Grand Deluxe Suite (which avios.com does not offer) is the smallest room that they allow 4 people to stay in.

      Many of their hotels don’t seem to want to accept bookings for 2 rooms with 2 adults and 2 kids (i.e. 1 adult + 1 child per room, as they stipulate min 1 adult per room), but will accept 2 rooms with 4 adults.

      Can you see any reason why a 4 x adults booking wouldn’t work for a family of 4?

        Yes, this is a normal thing when booking 2 rooms. If you try to do a room just for kids it is rejected. Just do 1 adult and 1 child for each room, but specify one twin and one double bed.

  Are these hotel reservations refundable?

  Smells like a glitch with cash payment!!

  Cancellation policy for Hilton Dubronic (as example)

  Changing your booking: You will not be able to change your booking when it has been confirmed. You will be able to cancel your booking, for a fee, and make a new booking. However, we cannot guarantee that the same hotel room or car rental option will still be available. Cancelling your booking: Cancellations made outside of 72 hours to travel will not be charged a supplier fee but you will be charged a cancellation fee of £25 or local equivalent. Cancellations made within 72 hours to travel will be charged 100% of the booking value and no refund will be made. Failure to cancel prior to scheduled check-in time will be considered a no-show and will not be eligible for refund. There will be no refund for unused services or early check-out. Cancellation fees: In addition to the hotel cancellation policy described below, there will be an additional fee equivalent to £15 for any cancellations made by an agent over the phone. Cancellations made online are only subject to applicable supplier cancellation fees.

  This is very odd. If you book for cash, Avios is taking a bit fat hit somewhere because they are definitely not making 50% profit usually on these bookings. If they are willing to throw money away like this, why not offer something more useful for the flight sales, like cutting the tax on long-hauls for a few days (which isn’t even a ‘real’ cash loss)?

  Excellent. Just got a hotel in Copenhagen for 50% less CASH than the price yesterday and it’s a lot cheaper than any other site is selling the same room 🙂
