    do they only work for 1 booking or can 2 people use them or can 1 person book 2 breaks?
    can 1 person book 2 holidays using 2 different priority codes?

    i'm not sure how it works but last year we had a priority code for the January bookings which we didn't use. When the Spring offer came up we didn't get a priority code for that one, so i thought i'd get away with using my January one, but it didn't work, so i assume they're only for one person and the current promotion. It'd be interesting to try though, my sister wouldn't mind a sun hol, but has never applied. The wait and see where you're off to part is a nightmare, we had 2 weeks notice on our fisrt ever sun hol!

    so you pick 2/3 choices and get what your given?

    i have just brought 2 priority codes from ebay, planned on hoping for an april/august holiday for the bettwe weather next year and booking a weekend this autumn also.

    do you pay the £9.50 ish pp deposits when booking then get billed for the extras with your conformation like the times ones?

    FAO anyone wanting priority codes on ebay the buy it now ones are about £20 and ones bid on are going for about £15 at the moment.

    just thought also, sorry to be a nuisance, theres only me and my 2 daughters, obviously we will be paying for a 4th 'invisible' person, do they put names on the bookings or could i add a friend as that 4th paid for person later on?

    Yes Disni as a matter of fact two people came back saying that my priority code which I gave away on this website had worked and they had both booked holidays. I'm unsure whether the thread is still viewable.

    I have my suspicions on how it works but this time I haven't received a priority code so I cannot test my theory, and would be grateful if someone could please provide me with one.

    Just leave the baby off the booking,he/she will be a travel cot anyway and you won't / don't pay for any passes etc for babies

    will be paying for 4 people either way as it min 4 people, so me, oh, ds and new bub make 4. if i dont put baby on booking form im still charged for 4, this year when just the 3 of us paid it came up as 2 adult 2 infants, did anyone else that took less than 4 people get an invisible infant too? i just wondered if it was like an insurnce thing if i take her and shes not on the booking and the caravan roof caves in on her or something like that will we get in trouble because as far as haven are conserned she wasnt booked in.

    FAO anyone wanting priority codes on ebay the buy it now ones are about £20 and ones bid on are going for about £15 at the moment.

    once the booking site opens you enter your priority number and the code words. That brings up the booking form, you enter the dates you want, i think its 4 or 5, in order of preference and the parks you want, again in order of preference, then it does a search and brings up the best available match. You don't have to have the first one it gives you though, you can juggle your parks and dates around til you get one that suits although some parks aren't available on some dates. Once you've one you like you click the link to book and pay, and its just the £9.50 per person plus £1 (i think it was) fee for booking on a debit/credit card. The entertainment and service charges are sent separately with the confirmation by the holiday company, well thats what happens with haven. Good luck!

    I can't see any kind of link with the four letter codes, usually they are all about holidays ie, sand, surf etc. Anyone got any ideas for guessing the last word to book on Friday?
