I've been a member for 3 years, and over the past 2, I've recouped my membership fee by getting discounts on Brittany Ferries Crossings (4 in total)
This year...twice when I have tried to book, the Caravan Club prices are actually MORE than the Brittany Ferry Website...I can't be bothered to waste my time ringing up for a price match.
Also, I was quoted a CC discount on my P&O crossing from Dover to Calais return...the discount was ONE POUND!
...and what I have now found with P&O..is that if you book with them once..they will send you offers that will far outstrip Caravan Club discounts in the future.
My final gripe, is the the CC will not tell you in advance what selected sailings have the biggest discounts (if any) in advance...unlike the Camping and Caravan Club site.
The membership isn't cheap (I don't actually want or need a paper magazine every month) and it's strange how UK CC site fees have risen, and prices are now a minefield with some altering rates four times in a single month...unlike their competitors who quote simple high and low seasons at a much more reasonable price.
Hmm....I won't be renewing my membership I think.
