A naughty thought I know, but, has anyone used such an offer as a cheap crossing, and simply not returned until a later date, say, three months later?

A friend of mine did this somw years ago on a trip to Jersey where he'd only be driving one way and flying the other way. I think that he bought a 2 day ticket or whatever was the cheapest as a day return wasn't available on a Jersey crossing.
A few weeks later he got a bill from the ferry company - it was the difference between the initial cost (one way) and the full price ticket.
He put off paying, but was then threatened by the usual debt collectors letter.
So he paid the bill, as he agreed that he had broken the terms of the contract and he reckoned that he wouldn't win if it ended up in court.
It had cost him more to do this rather than buy the correct ticket in the first place. The extra cost was the half of the initial ticket that he never used.

As you pay by debit or credit card for your fare they will debit you with the full fare if you break the terms and conditions you agreed to before being abel to complete your original purchase. 

They aint daft.

Wink , Only slight delays today on Eurotunnel due to sheer volume of daytrippers .NO imigrant problems seen .Terrific value for money at £ 23.00 return.Some special offer restaurants were turning people away due to overbooking by Eurotunnel .Only those who had a prior booking managed to get in !!

We took advantage of this offer after receiving an email from eurotunnel. I have used these discounted day trips before. They often coincide with school half terms. I booked four days before and to my surprise,  I was able to secure convenient crossing times. However I found you could only book by telephone ( those dreaded 0844 numbers !! ) . Stayed locally to Folkstone and had a great day out.. Cool
