Lay My Hat

Thanks for your thoughts, Nemo. You're right: why risk the French speakers? I suppose I am thinking that the level of bookings we get through Homelidays is so low - four weeks this last year - that it's not a great deal of business to risk. (Three of the four were French speakers; the other was Dutc...

This is a question for people using Homelidays or HomeAway and targeting the French-speaking market. We have a ski apartment in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Most of our visitors are French or Swiss. Our current ad is on Homelidays, in French, and we administer it (with some difficulty!) ...

Many thanks, everyone - that is really helpful and comforting.

Having just seen the shocking :shock: renewal prices at Homelidays, and having searched unsuccessfully for a promo code that works for renewals rather than new listings, I am considering the nuclear option: letting my ad lapse. As my renewal date is in April, which is a quiet time for us, I don't th...

Thanks for the thread with promo codes for OD - is there a similar thread for Homelidays/HA? It's that time of year again... BTW, does anyone remember that last year Homelidays were offering a different system, where you only paid when a rental was booked - a percentage system, rather than a flat-ra...

Thank you so much for thinking of me, but I've just tried this code and it doesn't work for me - perhaps they have cleverly linked it to your listing. But I am very grateful indeed to you for suggesting it.
Best wishes from Susan

It's me again, still on the hunt for a Homelidays discount for a renewal - our listing expires tomorrow. I have found one 30% discount for renewals, but it's on this site and I'm not a member: http://www.lescogiteurs.fr/partenaire/homelidays-code-promo/ Is anyone who's a member willing to pop in and...

I'd happily let mine go too, Kev, if I could think of an alternative that would give better value. They all seem pretty shockingly (and equally) bad to me, but we have to be listed somewhere, and I can't face the effort of creating a whole new listing for the same lacklustre performance from another...

Hello everyone Yes, it's that time of year again, and I'm looking for a Homelidays renewal promo code. Has anyone been sent anything? There are a gazillion codes out there if you Google for them, but - as far as I can tell from reading T&Cs in French - they all apply to new ads rather than renew...

Many thanks, CassCat, for your thoughts.

We have had a Homelidays listing for several years now, and it just about washes its face. It was gobbled up, as you know, by HomeAway. I was thinking about doing an Owners Direct listing as well (or maybe instead), but then I spotted that OD is part of HomeAway as well. (It's like using the Book De...

Big thanks to HelenB, for supplying this code: HDREN180

It got me 30% off my Homelidays renewal today (18 February 2013).

But long shots sometimes hit the target, HelenB - and this one did! 30% discount - you are an angel!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Tee hee - what a clever idea! I could certainly do that.

But if you let your listing lapse, do you have to create it all over again - or can you just reactivate it?

I'm on the scrounge again... I need to renew my Homelidays listing at the end of the month, and it's 239 euros :shock: Does anyone have a renewal code that's working? I've already used this one last year (LOEXP1PM3), so they won't let me use it again this time, which I guess is fair :? I've done the...
