    But there is one in NOTW on Sunday......

    nothing on NOTW website to indicate there will be a token in this weeks paper, i think we will be ok, as line was the only code that was online, so that was the bonus code, all other codes that have been mentioned in this thread have appeared on tokens in the sun paper, hence we would only be using one bonus code, so i cant see there being a problem, Dave

    I only know from what someone else said ( havent seen any tokens myself )

    but the one that was in sat paper doesnt have a number on it or something ? so they think its also a bonus code ??

    here you go

    " N.B. ONLINE BOOKERS: As BAND & LINE are not from the numbered tokens, there may be a restriction (as in previous years) on only being able to use one 'bonus code', but there is no mention of this on the priority booking form. This seems to fit in with the revised opening date of Sun 11th January for the booking site ,because by then there will be 9 codes, but 2 of them 'bonus' codes"

    Are any of this years tokens numbered though, i have seen a few of them and not noticed any numbers on them, just sun token, and the code up one side, i may be wrong though:confused:, and how would there be 9 tokens by sunday, as the example i gave above shows only 8 tokens, unless they are planning on printing one in this sundays NOTW, which as they did not this week, i doubt they will next week,but as i remember last year the bonus tokens had the word bonus printed on them, which certainly was not the case in this saturdays paper, i think the only bonus token is the one that was online, so that people who book online could use the code, and the people sending in the forms could download it, we will have to wait and see i suppose, Dave

    This may clear up some confusion

    It looks like there is a NOTW token.

    here is another quote from the sun website, it is in the getting started section, although that appears mainly a section about collecting and sending in the tokens by post, i would have thought it would be the same for online bookings as well, here is the quote:-

    Please note - only one online token and one bonus token per application

    so going by that even if the token in saturdays paper was a bonus it should still be ok to use that and the online code as well, Dave

    and just noticed on page 2 of the brochure we got with our priority forms is a bonus token for us to give to friends that have neva booked a sun holiday b4, so maybe they are not printing bonus tokens in the paper, Dave

    out of interest could we book 2 holidays with this holiday form, i,e 1 at beginning of year, and 1 at end of the year, or do we have to wait until they do the promotion again later on in the year, TIA Dave
