Thomson Holidays discount

Am looking to book a Thomson Holiday and was looking for a decent voucher - without much luck!

Did find this one for £15 off - hu-messina, which does work. Anyone seen any others? I did remember seeing some credit card or other which offered discounts on holiday bookings but can't remember which one!

    Had a look at some of them - they mostly seem to be vouchers to use with certain travel agents - always a bit concerned that the price they find will not be the same as the price I find with Thomson direct!

    Thomson direct, shops and internet now are all the same price.....

    Guarantee in the shops that no one can book a Thomson holiday cheaper than direct with them. So vouchers may be a little useless. Sorry......
    I work for TUI Group of Companies. My companies ATOL/ABTA numbers are 2524 / D5299. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Travel Agent, so you need to take my word for it but Atol numbers can be checked on the Civil Aviation Authority website. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Travel Agent Code of Conduct.

    Ive bought several of the vouchers which say they are valid off all Abta brochures off ebay and used them without problem. They say you have to use one agent as they are the one nominated to admister them.

    You need to compare the online deals offered which usually have an online discount built in with the price when this voucher is used as the agent will only have access to the latest 'non online' price and it will be this that is reduced.

    As for high street agents matching any price, they wont match a price based on using these vouchers. I know, Ive tried it but they will match an online price.

    Only stipulation on the ones I had were minimum of 2 people for minimum of 7 nights booked 14 days in advance.


    Cheers
