Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

Just had an email drop into my in box telling me that I can now get bonus points (till 30th November) by downloading a button for my Google Toolbar.

 

http://pcrgoogletool.co.uk/ihg/?cm_mmc=DCE-_-PCRPMGO102109-_-EMEN-_-DLOAD

 

Just cancelled and rebooked my next few stays, so we will see what happens.

 

If you don't already have the Toolbar you can download it from the link above.

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

hmmm.... that is so sad if that is the case... however, when i try to download the toolbar, it doesn't explain the restriction or the T&C for downloading the toolbar.. in the email copy that you have recieved, did it mention any T&C??

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

The cost of the phone call is not worth 1000 points? Also My bookings for later are alreasdy made at a rate that I could not match so cancelling and rebooking not worth it either.

Not on the promo email, however, I went through to a french site, unfortunately my command of written French isn't particularly good, but it did appear to have some google T&C's

Unfortunately, it's not available to all..but you guys should have already downloaded it.  I mentioned it awhile ago on my blog post.

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

hmmm...

 

the terms and condition does not state anything about the location or any restriction in getting the toolbar and that's the frustrating part about it...


i guess, i'm not lucky this time to get it but that's a lot of opportunity to earn points and it was an easy way to get it...

 

but i will still try to get it.. maybe it will work if i keep trying.. there'e nothing to lose..

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

I don,t think the toolbar is as helpful as it seems, it states 2000 points for booking made through the button, but the web site it leads to does not have the same rates as the UK HI page.

I needed to book some more rooms at work and looked on the B&B rate on the HI site, 10 days B&B was £43.33 per night, i then thought if i install the toolbar at work i would get the 2000 points extra.

After downloading it and using the button the best price i could get for the same nights was £62.00 a night, so i had to open another page to book the rooms which i presume would cancel the 2000 points.

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

I just tried booking another room and the best price through the button was, "1 night king bed room with breakfast £75.00."

The best price through Holidayinn.co.uk for the same room and breakfast was £47.00.

The trouble is the button takes you to a .COM page and therefore doesn,t show any UK deals.

Decent haul zziplexi.

 

Out of interest how did you get the Toolbar thing to work as I have had no joy at all?

 

I have to say I'm bobbling along at a reasonable average return rate of 7-8,000 Points per stay and am happy with that overall.

Re: Points now for adding a button to the Google Toolbar

Today I received the 1000 bonus points ( for adding the toolbar )

 

In fact received it twice ( maybe because I added it on 2 different PCs?)

 

This is in addition to the 2000 for using the toolbar to book a stay.

seems like it's really working only for those in the UK.. regardless of your email address, they will be able to know if you are located in the UK when you are trying to download the toolbar if not you won't be able to.. i wish they will have that promo worldwide..
