We had 4 Sundays in September. I didn't have any problems filling in the ad and the forms. When I tried to renew I got a phone call saying we are a business and didn't qualify. We had 3 phone calls from the 4 ads, all apparently genuine but none have booked so far.
I found the main problem was that readers didn't understand that the reference number meant they could find the web address. So I had to spell it out over the phone which was a nuisance.
The woman who phoned said the free ads were for people who just wanted to rent out their own house in weeks when they weren't using themselves, which I thought was fair enough.
I think she offered commercial ads at £60 each for more words, but I wouldn't go for that at this time of year. Might try after Christmas.

Can I say a big "thanks" for this thread!! I read through it, and put the ad on last week (I thought I had, like many of you I couldn't actually check ) Got a call this evening from a lady who had seen it, booked a week for March, booking form sent back, paid deposit by paypal. Wow! I'm really impressed...

Glad you have had some luck with it Paul. All I am getting is invoices for £1.75, have had 4 now and not paid any of them, rang 3 times to query them and all they say is that they are just credit control and they will put the invoices on query and one of the sales team will call me back, but not a sausage!! Oh well I am sure they will call when they want payment, which they won't get of course!

Just booked mine using IE7 and it worked without any problems. Not very helpful to you I know!
Our ad starts in a weeks time - great service for free. Even better if we get a booking from it!!!
