  • just checked on the website and you can only use the codes online if you have your reference number on the mailing the sun sent out, which i dont so looks like im going to have to send it in the post, anybody no if you use somebody elses reference to log on then put ur own details in to book and py by card ???

    you can use someone elses priority ref code no problems,you just input your own details and pay using your own card

    each priority ref code can only be used once though

    It is now saying that my booking code has already been used and won't even let me go into the website now. So annoying!! :mad: have contacted The Sun just waiting for them to email me back now.
    same happened to my SIL today

    dont go in through the link on your email ... go straight to
    http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/the-sun-promotion and it should work

    worked for my SIL :)

    we are all booked now,more expensive than last year :( but much cheaper than booking direct ! :D
  • I have moved house since we last went on a sun holiday. I have done these holidays every year for the last 8 years and now have not received my priority booking reference, because we have moved house and this must've been sent to the old house. No-one lives there now, so we are not even able to get this. Does anyone have any advice, as to what we can do, i have emailed the sun email and they take forever to get back to you, the deadline is fast approaching :(

    Does anyone have a Sun holiday token, or a priority reference code that I could use? The later would be even more helpful as I am worried that by now all the holidays in April might have been taken. I have my family coming South and I wanted us to all go and try Sun holidays.
    I have 9 tokens but I still need 1 more to be able to post the application. I have misplaced one and cannot find it. :(
    I would be eternally grateful, please.

    Hi, I posted my letter around the same time. I heard back yesterday and we got our first date and first choice!:j
  • Just booked our holiday staying at Parkdena holiday park Looe Bayand was disappointed and surprised to see that if i had booked direct without using the sun promotion it would have been cheaper , not by much but enough not to worry about getting tokens etc
    Many of Park Dean Holidays are cheaper direct because when you add on all the extras on that are normally included when you book direct its costs you 20-30 quid more, the promotion works well if you dont want to upgrade accomodation but do your homework before you book
