Does anyone know if the 100 bonus loyalty points you are supposed to get for booking with RSH in May appears straight away or not?
I've got a split ticket journey to buy and I'm wondering if I can buy the first part and get a £1 voucher to redeem when buying the second part.

I've made 2 bookings in May and had no 100 point awards. I did use Facebook for the extra double points, don't know if that makes a difference. All my points are dated the day after I booked so I don't think your plan will work.
EDIT: The promotion T&Cs say "redspottedhanky.com loyalty points will be allocated to all transacting customers redspottedhanky.com loyalty accounts within 28 days of the closing date of the Promotion." So that is probably why I don't have mine yet.

I think the TPE 50% off offer link should be updated to this. I'm not sure it even lets you use the offer if you navigate the site, as the end of the link URL I found was "promotion.aspx?id=TPESTUDENT&isAllowed=False" which suggests that the offer wouldn't be allowed using that original address.

I have never gone on a sleeper train, and with my railcard expiring at the end of September this has to be done!
Would I be right in saying that the £30 price I found is all I would need to pay? Do I need to book a berth? I'm more then happy to sit.
Thanks!

If the fare has a bed next to it then it will book a berth for you. If it doesn't, and when you hover over the price and it says Caledonian Seated Sleeper services only then it's a seat.

when i looked at the site it just seemed to suggest that you could save 50% by buying advance tickets - it didn't seem to be a promotion. Have i missed something?

Yes, there is also this offer whereby holders of 16-25 Railcards save a total of 50% instead of 34% on certain TPE advance tickets. I believe that this is the one being referred to.

New promotion between Red Spotted Hanky and the Sun
Here's the link:

I see you now have to physically collect tokens from the newspaper and post them off. Is this RSH's new way to stop code sharing?
Interesting. The paper is 60p on Saturday and Sunday, and 40p weekdays. First Class stamp is 60p, second class 50p. So the cost of Sat+Sun+Mon papers plus First Class stamp is £2.20. Or it can be done for £1.70 with second class stamp and weekday papers.
With only 30,000 codes available still, it might be worth splashing out to get it to them quickly. Or it might be easier not to bother with the promotion at all, since there is no guarantee of getting the voucher.

Well, at least they are seeing sense.
I'm not spending real money just to find they've ran out!

Sense? They've just made the whole process a lot more fiddly and bureaucratic but it won't stop people claiming multiple vouchers.
With 15,000 orders to process manually I doubt very much they'll bother to check for multiple orders for the same address, and as RSH promotions are one voucher per person, rather than per address, people will just put the names of their wives and kids on their multiple requests!
Possibly, but it may act as a disincentive to make a huge number of applications, since each attempt will cost £1.70-£2.20 and may not be successful.
AIUI the problem with the previous Travelodge offer was that they had vast numbers of accounts being set up by automated software, not by individuals.

Redspottedhanky have a new fantasy game following Wimbledon.
One picks a team of 7 players, and for each win one earns between 8 and 20 game points, depending on the level of the player, with 4 bonus points for a straight set victory.
So that's between 24 and 60 RSH loyalty points per victory, with a 12 RSH loyalty point bonus for straight-sets.

The advert is very confusing. I can't work out whether it is a Day Ranger or only a return somewhere.

It does say 'Unlimited travel on the East Midlands Trains Network' so I assume its a ranger.
I can confirm it's an unlimited day ranger ticket for the East Midlands Trains network.
Apparently the idea is to 'introduce' people to East Midlands Parkway prior to the Nottingham works - hence the ticket only being available from there.

An update for the Travelodge voucher confusion from RSH's Facebook:
My voucher now displays £10 again too

Moreover, it appears to have the good old 31/12/2020 expiry date!

I got my £10 back yesterday, perfect timing as I used it for travelling today!
