  • I would but they dont accept visa electron:(
    £2 Savers club £0/£150
    1p a day £/
  • Even I had to laugh at their maths. A free holiday? Pay £25 and get £20 in Pontins pounds? So that's still a fiver!

    This offer is much the same as the newspaper one run recently. That said when we went on our break last week we were also given £5 in electric cards which you're not meant to get in the classic chalets, so maybe this was their way of making it up to £25?

    A good deal for those who missed out last time I guess.
    hey there's no money but we couldn't be happier if we tried
    £2 coin pot - £92!
  • £5 for a holiday for 4 people is still a great offer!!

  • Sally i agree, we cant make use of this offer as were not off until the week after but still its a great oportunity for some people to make use of, im sick of reading all the bad comments about pontins, if you dont like it, dont take up the offer and leave it free for someone who would like to go/who likes pontins. We ourselves have been to a few pontins and yes ok its not the best, but a break is what you yourself make it, personally our son loves it and has some awsome memories of his time there, of which he still speaks about, and for me a break at pontins isnt for me or my other half its for my son, for him to have as much fun as he likes and come home shattered yet each minute was loved by him. I hope all who take up the offer have a really good time and make your break what ever you wish too :)

    When I was young Pontins were posh. We never had holidays at them because they were too unaffordable.

    How times change.
  • Good find, never been to a Pontins site.

    But you are still getting a holiday for £25 which is not bad. If you are in budget as it says, you'd probably have to pay for electricity that comes in tokens, reckon about a fiver or so a week.
