I found a couple of others, not that I would particularly want to stay at them!
Derby-Nottingham (M1) and Rugby-Northampton (M1)

But not in Manchester, not even Thu-Sat or Sun-Tue

Edinbrugh HI's used to have them in the week, but they have not returned there yet either.

If it's any help, the "UK SPORT AND ASSOCIATION GOLD" 10% off midweek discount rate still seems to be working.

Use corporate code 954300402 to give 10% off best flexible rate, and it's not pre-paid so bookings can still be cancelled.

Seems to be promoted and linked to through a few different Greenroom.co.uk landing pages including:

Leeds United - http://www.greenroom.co.uk/leedsunit...e-_-35-_-leeds

ICAEW - http://www.greenroom.co.uk/icaew/?cm...e-_-35-_-icaew

I've seen, but not yet personally booked, the 10% off midweek rate. Can any fellow FTs who have actually stayed on this rate and had it post confirm if the nights show as qualifying? The Ts&Cs are silent on the issue, as per the 2-4-2/IDEX1, which I take as hopeful..

i have also been using IDEX1 rate for the last 3 yrs. 100+ nights a year or more.
i spoke to the hotel manager about the IDEX1 rate no longer being available, and that I would probably have to move to another property as i pay my own accommodation bills.

within a few days he had arranged a corporate rate for me. fully flexible, and only about 15 pounds a night more than the average IDEX1 rate i had been booking.

As I usually need only 3 nights a week on average i am marginally better off as I used to book 2 back to back reservations but often never stayed the fourth night.

IDEX 1 \ 2FoR1 no avail. (not a usual rant!)
 
Same problem here:
I was looking for a stay at IC Warsaw,
The 2-4-1 is nearly 20% more expensive than the Advance Saver Rate and 'eligble points'= 0!
Btw, stay during weekend fri-sun

I just did a search for two days in London next week (tues, weds, thurs) and sorted it by price and the rate is available in quite a few Home Counties hotels but none in Greater London. I think they are just restricting availability as is their right as it is our right to book elsewhere. Add to gripes, can't exchange Amex MR points for PC points to buy platinum any more.

Amyrlin Feb 12, 2013 4:36 pm

Home countries had been knocked out when I checked in Jan, hopefully this means the rate is creeping back :)

big_mac Feb 12, 2013 4:39 pm

Hopefully... CP Kensington and Indigo Earl's Court also seem to be available.
Although the 5-day Advance Purchase requirement has caused me the biggest problem!

olegator Feb 12, 2013 5:17 pm

avail. on weekday?

petetobin Feb 12, 2013 8:55 pm

Yes, mid-week but on a limited basis.

LiviLion Mar 27, 2013 4:29 pm

Staying on this rate next week. Noticed when I booked it this time it came up as qualifying points = 0 which is new. There wasn't anything in the T&C's though stating that points do not apply so I'll definitely be chasing it up if they don't post as I'm still paying full rate for the first night.

olegator Mar 27, 2013 7:10 pm

and the rate is still working on weekends only?

patchan8984 Apr 3, 2013 11:49 pm

i see rates available, but not available to book (back to maintenance). I wonder if I can call in to use it.

How can you search for this rate when you look for a city? You just have to see the lowest rates?

On Radisson you can search in a calendar for it.
