Loyalty not rewarded

The caravan and Motorhome Club does not appear to value the Loyalty of Members.

I have been a member of the Caravan Club for a number of years and have never hesitated in renewing my membership.

My 12 monthly subscription is due again at the beginning of next month and I had intended to renew again but was very disappointed to see that they are, at the moment, offering new members  a voucher for their first night on site. This is despite, I believe, a record numbers of new members joining the CAMC this year. Surely they should be  rewarding their current members ?

There are repeated complaints that insurance companies, internet providers etc. do not treat Loyalty like Royalty and perhaps the actual individual cost is not so great but I will not be renewing my membership until I intend to use a CAMC site or a CL again.

Only if you're able to use/spend them .... otherwise you've just lost £2400 🤔

You were only allowed to spend a maximum of £2000 on the vouchers so the maximum you could lose is £2000 + a bit of interest you may have got from investing it elsewhere. Still a more certain bet of winning than putting it on the horses. Hopefully the CAMH club wont fall at the last hurdle.

with the latest lockdown most of the seasonal sites have already closed ,so if the club have recovered some of the losses incured with the last time site were ordered to close ,then it will not be such a hit as earlier ,so i would expect the incetive for quite a few,would beto see this and the ccc to come through, in hopefully ,a poorer but not easy pickings for the vultures that wiil be looking

With this latest lockdown, and possibly more next year, does anyone think that the club will extend the life of those vouchers that have a closing date, or just say "Hard Cheese" to those who are unable to use them up before the end of 2021, if that is the posted closing date?

I'm sure the club would do the right thing and extend the closing date for the time limited vouchers. If not I'm sure there would be a stewards enquiry.

The odd pound off here and there doesn’t amount to a great deal, but if you are part of a Reward scheme, then you can often access some very very good savings.

More than the odd pound TDA. In a typical year we end up with about £200 off shopping that we would be buying in any event. Plus of course we still get, club card, nectar and more points when we shop in those supermarkets. We have also used the Tesco rewards for tickets to the Tower, Tower Bridge Experience , St Paul's, IOW ferry and Blenheim Place. It's the best way to use them, as they are only face value on shopping

The into the blue activity that my son bought me last Christmas has been extended by 6 months. I didn't even have to ask, I was just sent an extension email. I would expect the club to do no less.
