Got a further email from TPE around 4pm today offering me the chance to book one last £1 fare with a unique promotional code.

I've used mine (you can only use your code once) but if you're on the TPE mailing list it might be worth checking your inbox.

Thanks CaptainHaddock, I'm on it!

I have two accounts with TPE. Last week I bought 30+ £1 tickets. I haven't received an email to the address used for that account.
But I have received one to the address on the account I don't use.

So maybe only people who didn't buy any £1 tickets are getting another chance.

Manged to get Liverpool to Edinburgh for £2 return in the end

When scrolling through Facebook this morning a 40% off offer for LNER popped up with a “We’ve missed you message”. There was a button to click to save the offer which was then emailed to me from Facebook.

It may be worth having a scroll through your social media feeds to see if there is anything.

10% cashback from LNER has also appeared in my online offers via Santander online banking.

My TPE code arrived 1042 this morning (Monday 9th March) so the offers aren't being sent out simultaneously

Yes, just had another one arrived in my "other" TPE email account! It does however say it's only valid if I book today.

I had a 5% Visa cash back offer in my recent emailed offers

Im a retired person , have enough tokens to buy 3 £10 Northern Rail tickets.As I see it, the chance to use them finishes a week Saturday 21ST.Obviously I dont want to travel unless I have to and not far from home.I hear that passengers on Northern are down due to coronavirus , esp off peak travel .I cant see Northern extending it as the virus has still to peak .
So hoping I can use tokens later in year when , hopefully, its all over.
Is anyone else not making use of ANY offers due to coronavirus, ?

They usually do the offer several times a year, I think normally there's one in May/June, but you'd need new tokens.

 

[gray1404]

Are there still £1 tickets being offered by TPE?

 

[theshillito]

but you'd need new tokens.

or cut off the dates. the ticket office probably won't care.

 

[Karl]

I don't think so.

I had a £1 ticket to Liverpool for today but decided to give it a miss under the current state of things.

Not a special offer as such, but from 01/08, Nectar Points cannot be warned on the LNER website, but for a temporary period they’ll give you 2% back as account credit, which will be added each month.

I had thought that the 2% rebate was going to be their new and ongoing offer.

I'm not too sure about the future of the 2%, but my email said it was a limited time offer:

Tom, we’re making some changes to our Nectar partnership We are contacting you as you are a Nectar collector that has collected points with us in the last 12 months and need to inform you of some changes we are making to Nectar. From 1 August 2020, you’ll no longer be able to collect Nectar points if you make a booking with us. Instead, for a temporary period, you’ll earn 2% credit back on any LNER transactions you make.

As well as what - they no longer run any trains.

Do you have a link? I thought Virgin Trains no longer existed?

I used to enjoy the Megabus offer to Glasgow for £1.

Assuming this thread isn't just for rail offers, I just thought I'd mention Travelodge are currently running a "pay for one night, get the next night free" offer for stays between 1 August and 30 November. Book by 24 July. Currently plenty of availability too; I managed to get 2 nights in Norwich in August for £30 to go exploring the Norfolk branches!

How does that work? Do you put in one night and it automatically adds the next night to it? I tried putting two nights in (having ensured they weren't on the blacked out offer not applicable dates) but it showed two nights' charges.

It's a bit temperamental but it works for me if I put in one night, then click on the hotel I want then select the saver rate. Give it a few moments and the option of getting the following night (or the previous night) free should pop up. Strangely I couldn't get it to work in Firefox but when I use Chrome it seems to be fine. Good luck!

 

[trainophile]

Managed it on Firefox, for some reason it won't work for me on Safari. It works more than once per account holder too - excellent bargains to be had.

 

[Chrism20]

Omio is currently 15% all week on Topcashback. TCB also have a £3 bonus for today only. Obviously a txn fee with Omio but between the increased Cashback and the bonus you might be able to score out of it overall.

A 10% cashback offer has popped up on the offers section of my Santander app. Might be worth checking if you bank with them

 

[westv]

Hull Trains are now offering "Duo Tickets". It sounds like they are the same discount as the "Two together" railcard but you don't need a railcard and they are only available via the HTs website for their services only.

I wonder how this offer works. Do you get a discount code from Decathlon once you've bought something which you then enter on the LNER website?
