The vouchers could be worth a little something. However, I tried but didn't see any place to enter a voucher #. They only accepted CC info. But it's possible I chose the "wrong" tour package. There is a button to click to "credit card" but it's the only choice...maybe certain (more expensive?) packages will also have a button to click for "voucher"?

If anyone is able to actually use it, I'd be curious to hear about the details (including where/when you enter the voucher number.

The voucher is entered jist above thecc details - there's a link to click "cash voucher"...

Oh, I get it now. On the list of packages or tours you need to find one that has the small tiled "CR" inside a yellow box just right of the end of the title. For tours and attractions, there's nothing in Bangkok or Phuket, but there were a few in Chiang Mai (the cheapest was about 1000 baht X 2 pax, so about a 25% discount). You might be able to do about as well by negotiating with a local travel agent (not sure).

These deals are not just for Thailand, but many asian cities. For tours/attractions, other countries actually have more "CR"s.

If anyone sees any good deals, please post the details.

Edit: There are some interesting options in other cities priced near the voucher face value and it doesn't seem to complain if you have only 1 PAX (contrary to the voucher T&C).

Are these vouchers good to book limousine or van transfer from BKK or other airports?

BigE

Yes - some but not all (I don't see a pattern). You have to check for the "CR" symbol.

Was looking at BKK hotels and noticed that the Four Seasons is US$121/night with Agoda for a 2-night minimum. Club Rooms $177.
Seems like a good deal, since through their website the same nights are US$200+. Never stayed there, reviews on TA look excellent in terms of service but rooms a bit old.
Just FYI.

Is that all in or do we need to add ++? If need to add, then it's $142.42 all in.

Diplomatico

It's ++. Agoda is always ++ in my experience.

And it's also $111/night ++ with a three night minimum.

Kalboz

Around $130 per night all in - good rate for a great property but that's all you get a nice room, no breakfast, and no lounge access. If you upgrade t those benefits, your rate will easily climb to around $200 per night!!! IMO, you better off with hotels you are loyal to and have status with. You may get a suite with benefits at the new Hilton Sukhumvit or the DT for the same rate.

Diplomatico

Agree completely.

Yes. I can use my status with Marriott to get a similar deal at JWM.

Did their website give you a free night when you booked three nights? As far as I can tell, it tried to charge me for all three nights.....that is, it showed the price per night then the total amount for the stay was the sum of those three nights plus tax.

Kalboz

It is on their website, check out the top offer: http://www.oriental-residence.com/special-offers.aspx

Diplomatico

Yes, I know. However, when I went to book three nights - via the website - the estimated overall cost of the stay was three nights' worth of charges.
