enjoy our day.

When I was in marketing, so many offers, so much confusion, so soon after the introduction of new systems and price increases usually indicated that someone, somewhere had got things a bit wrong. But, that was a while ago nowadays, and perhaps extraction of cash has moved on a bit……….🤭

Posted on 14/06/2023 06:49 byI have booked that site as an overnight on my way to a £1350 ferry and I have every intention of being on it so I dont make a "song and a dance" in your words about £16.42 . However I dont enjoy a feeling being mislead.

David - you're not a motorhomer and you're not staying 2 or 3 nights so I'm puzzled why you should think I was referring to you! It seems to me this offer is aimed at longer term site users - a week or more - so good marketing strategy surely?
And whilst I agree that you have to look at the small print for the details of the offer, that's by no means unique in the travel industry - I was looking to book a cottage in the Wye Valley later in the year. The headline offer was "20% off for couples - see t&c". So, of course I looked at the t&c and the offer was only for very specific low season dates. I don't think that's in any way misleading, to be honest.

Posted on 14/06/2023 08:22 by SteveLFor me it’s not primarily about the amount, or wether it’s more advantageous to one group or another, it’s about how it’s been marketed. They sent me an email trumpeting the reduction yesterday, along with the 20% summer offer.
I suppose minimum deposit reduced to £20 and will be no more than 10% of your total bill, wouldn’t have had the same Wow factor🤔

We have HALVED our deposits to just 10% at all UK Club campsites. Book by 30 September 2023 for any stay in 2023 and 2024!
It seems crystal clear to me specially when they use the phrase "for any stay" - Why would anyone think it is necessary to investigate further?

But you have made an omission, Mikey - this is immediately followed by the words "see full terms and conditions below"!
I'm just surprised that experienced travellers should not have realised that offers like this are always subject to some sort of restriction.
Still, this particular offer won't apply to me (or you) so I, for one, will just leave it there.

Posted on 14/06/2023 09:04 by moulesyBut see my post above, Steve. Headline offers in the travel industry (or other industries) always come with terms & conditions. It's exactly the same as any "prices from ...." offer, surely?
Posted on 14/06/2023 09:19
Not really, the prices from are exactly what they say “from”. This offer in large letters clearly states a deposit of 10%, no mention of a minimum. Perhaps it’s just me, but although I know it’s a large commercial organisation, it still does have club in the name and a fee is required to join. I would expect better than a deliberately misleading advertisement.

I think it's a bit 'misleading' just to quote one line (the headline) from the advert. It is also misleading to say without any omissions as it seems crystal clear that there are terms and conditions, in fact this is written in red and right next to the book now button, it can't be missed? And that would certainly make me investigate further before booking.
But that aside for any stay doesn't imply any length of stay in my view, I took it as any stay either singular or multiple taken in that time frame.
As Rocky might ask you Will you be rejoining at some point in the future MA?🤔
Nothing really has changed about deposits? But at the and of the day it's a saving of at least £5, possible more for longer stayers so what's wrong with that? It appears the club can do no right at times
Post edit, crossed posted with M and for Mikey - see below.
