Came up the M6 toll this afternoon and presented my tariff of £5:30 I was a little on the slow side in handing my club membership card to the kiosk attendant when she said that will be £8:60.

As I handed her my club card she said we can only use it up to the end of this year, has any member heard of this (my membership card expires end of September)

Same for me AD. I paid £6.40 a few days ago, motorhome towing a car. Potentially the charge next year could be £17.70. No way am I paying that.

Thanks for the reply Ro.  Sorry, I didn't look on the offers page   Shame about the withdrawal of the offer.  😕😕

The ownership of that road changed a few months ago. Perhaps the new owners have found the investment was not as good as they thought and have to find ways of increasing income. cry

Never mind - I can still get value for money from the Club magazine (it's nearly time to light the log-burner); The Overseas travel department (Oh! we now have a puppy so will be touring in the UK); the wonderful Club sites even though, for me, they have priced themselves out of the market; the ever expanding CL network (you cannot be serious); the free towbar on a Ssangyong Something (even though they don't have them in stock) and finally, the Great deals from Volvo - all of which I can negotiate myself (and more). I'm sure I must be missing something? undecided

Used it once for the discounted price but will not bother in future. Will put up with the alternatives

In that case I won't be using it after that date any more. A pity, for me it was a good perk. Thanks for the advanced warning.

+1.  Rip-off Britain strikes again, to have to pay the same as a huge HGV (all but 20p!) seems ridiculous.

If it's losing money - put up the price seems to be the logic from some of these suited accountants.

If they trialled halving the fees I'lI bet more than twice as many people would use toll and maybe reduce the so called losses.

Just a  thought !!

I had never used it.

We use it when we need to. Discount was nice but we'll continue to use if needed.

Brightstar2 I know where you're coming from 😉😁. We have a bus, nowhere as often as it was, down our road rarely does it have a passenger, then they're generally the bus pass folk. Even 20 years ago it was cheaper to take the car and pay car park than catch the bus as 1 adult and 1 child let alone 2.
