My mistake, there was a period where it was dead but I guess it came back (maybe servers were overloaded)

Anyone know if it's worth confirming with BA somehow? Breakfast is EUR25 per head where I'll be staying, so don't want yo be trying to sort this out between the hotel and BA during my stay.
Here's part of my email confirmation for what it's worth..

Still live. Some amazing deals to be had. Just found IC Budapest for 53.00 and 1500 avios in August.

Thanks! Seems like the background colour is different. FWIW I booked mine through ba avios as opposed to avios.com . Perhaps that is the difference?

I also booked through ba (http://tidd.ly/869e9b40). I really don't get their IT systems!

Still live. Some amazing deals to be had. Just found IC Budapest for 53.00 and 1500 avios in August.
If you want to stay for 3 nights, it's even better value, for example IC Budapest 14th - 17th of March for 3,550 Avios + £80.00, or 8th - 11th August 1,950 Avios + £100.00.

Lol to the cheek of it, but it's upto the hotel themselves. If you do get the benefits id be very impressed.

I decided to go whole hog while I could afford it and went with this one: http://www.lhw.com/hotel/Hotel-Le-Pa...Czech-Republic August 12-15. Grand total for 2, 35k Avios. Can't wait!

trying a few times to book, but I always receive this error after typing dates on ba.com:

You cannot book hotels using Avios
We're sorry, but you cannot use your Avios to book hotels online at the moment.
For more information please contact your local Executive Club service centre
.

Is there any trick, how can I succeed?

Does anyone have this on the voucher?
HOTEL INSTRUCTIONS
Important information for the hotel
Please do not collect payment from this guest - except for any extra facilities they use during their stay with you. Send this voucher to
the Supplier named below with your invoice to ensure prompt payment.
But then no address or supplier for the hotel to send the voucher to? Have no idea if that's normal or not, of it's actually been done electronically with the vouchers not being necessary...

Hmmm... Nothing appears beneath the "nights" section on mine - no mention of included services at all. In the room selection when I booked though it said "board basis: breakfast" though. This was the thing that finally swung me away from a cheaper booking at a "lower" hotel.

Can I email them or do I need to call (anyone know?)

Aw, I assume the sale is only limited to that handful of cities? I've visited half of them in the past year, but my upcoming European trip takes me to none of them.
