How to stop being re directed??

vectra

Hi,
This only happened over the past few days.
I use Reward deals site daily, I never had any issue until this week.
How it works.
View the categories,
Choose an item you are interested in.
There is an option to click on "GET DEAL"
All fine and dandy but now when I click on New Look. it opens Hotels dot com.
Every other link works fine. Just New Look.
I have cleared cache etc.
Ran antiviruse.
Ran Malwarebytes.
I am using Firefox but tried it on Chrome and the same thing happened.
Any help ?
Thanks

Sounds like an issue on their end. Have you contacted them?

Test on different device

if its not on your computer, there is possibility its on the web site and nothing you can do about it except report it

Show us the exact page and steps you took, so we can check the HTTP responses.

OK
I just tried on my iphone and it was the same thing.
Would It be possible to post links here to show and for someone to try or would that be too risky ?

I will post a sample link and a link to what I get,

This is a link to reward deals and to one of the links

https://rewarddeals.co.uk/deal/96873/only-sons-white-linen-blend-long-sleeve-shirt

When I click on GET deal
I arrive here

https://ie.hotels.com/?locale=en_IE&pos=HCOM_IE&siteid=300000019

Yup, from an entirely fresh session, the get deal button just opens a new tab which goes to ie.hotels.com.

And it is issuing a redirect, 3 of them in fact, here it is:

The first click for:

GET /visit?ref=a96873&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newlook.com%2Frow%2Fmens%2Fclothing%2Fshirts%2Fonly-sons-white-linen-blend-long-sleeve-shirt%2Fp%2F898387610 HTTP/2
Host: rewarddeals-uk.digidip.net

gets a redirect

Hotels.com then does it's thing and redirects on to ie.hotels.com.

Thanks but all double dutch to me.
Anything to resolve it?

It's not from your side, it's from theirs, so you can't fix this.

In the headers I posted above, the important parts are the HTTP response code, 302, which is a redirect, and the Location header, which is where it's sending your browser to.

So their "get deal" button goes to a URL which starts a chain of redirects, which ultimately goes to hotels.com.

So should I send your results to Reward deals?

If they have two brain cells to rub together that should be enough for them to understand what's going on.

Morning.
I sent your results to them.
Got this reply.

Hi E*****!

As I understand it because your location is possibly
outside of UK as regards to the retailers determination of your location
- it redirects to a different domain.

I think if you tried a vpn and set it to London for example then the link would behave as expected.

So they simply don't want non-UK customers, and use it as excuse to try and shill some other site instead.

Seems that way.
Ah, sure look, I will have to grin and bare it.
Thanks for the input.
