Thoughts

There are two important things to point out:

  1. The discount is based on the “best flexible rate” and not the cheapest rate available so the actual discount will be lower than the headline 30% rate.
  2. Although the discount is based on a flexible rate most of the rates booked via this promotion will be non-flexible and will require prepayment

If you book through the promotion page the search facility will already have the Flash Sale rate selected…..

…..so, by using this, you can be sure that the rates you’re being shown are the correct flash sale rates.

Not all properties appear to be participating in this promotion.

I’ve seen the InterContinental London O2 appear on a number of searches but I have yet to see the InterContinental Park Lane make an appearance so it’s possible that this property has chosen to opt out.

Still, there are some reasonable deals on offer…like at the new Kimptons….

…and at a few of the more centrally located London Holiday Inn properties:

Naturally, as the flash sale’s name suggests, the deals aren’t limited to London and its environs – there are deals to be had in Edinburgh, Dublin, Cardiff and in a host of other UK and Irish locations too.

Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a stunning deal at a UK/Ireland InterContinental then this flash sale will disappoint you but, if you’re looking for a middle of the road property that’s cheaper now than it was yesterday, this sale should help you out.
