    We have 6 'proper' codes, and two bonus codes.

    Tomorrows should be the 7th 'proper' one, and that, along with one of the bonus codes, will make the 8 that you need

    We have 6 numbered ones, a bonus and a starter token. It seems like they are counting both bonus and starter as the same thing so you can only use it once online.
    I am also collecting the tokens for my brother and have given him the "my 1st sun holiday token" from my priority form, so he has 9 tokens and only needs tomorrows as well to have the 10 he needs to post off, or can't we use more than one bonus on the postal ones as well? Would hate to tell him incorrectly but I cant see any mention of how many bonus ones you can use on postal applications.

    me too, i can only go during May half term as both my children are doing their SATS this year at school so i cant take them out of school before May, if i dont get that date then i will be going for the £15pp holidays, I dont fancy Feb half term.

    When do they start back in september? Mine go back on the 8th so the weekend of the 4th is great for us. I know some people want to go to blackpool that weekend.

    If you start back earlier than the 8th then perhaps you finish earlier, and can take the final july date that's's part of this promotion (£15 though - is that what you meant? doh!)

    Can anyone who's been to butlins with these holidays before give me any idea of how much it is to upgrade to silver accomodation usually?

    I'm looking online and for the sun holiday (with charges and £40 linen) its £120 basic and direct with butlins is £150 in silver.

    I'm tempted to go directly with butlins??? any experience welcome.

    It's not £40 linen, it's £10 per unit. They don't change it, you have the same sheets until you leave, and its not per person so you just pay £10 for the break.

    My 3-day should cost £105.

    Which date are you choosing? £150 seems very cheap!

  • I found this on the site now
    Please note - only one online token and one bonus token per application
    I think this means we can use both, as line was an online token and band was a bonus token!!!
