    Does anyone else think there are less holidays available this year, can't get anything I want

    I think it's probably more people second-guessing the "code words" and booking before the 'legitimate' applicants..

    :mad:

    Have managed to book one, sometimes two Sun holidays every year since the promotion first started.

    This year absolutely nothing!

    :(
  • So what about all us Sun readers who are collecting the tokens out of the newspaper???....we will have no chance of getting what dates/places we want!!!

    Yes, I think you're correct. I had my priority code and could find nothing within Wales/north devon for august, completely zilch.

    However, I did manage to find something for July which wasn't my first choice of park but booked it pretty sharpish just to have 'something'. :j

    I feel sorry for those collecting tokens, I think they'll end up with either not going or having to travel rather long distances.
    Be happy, it's the greatest wealth :)

    I don't think people guessing the last code word would make a difference - they'd be able to book just one day later anyway.

    I actually booked the day after the code was guessed (Thursday) I got the August Bank holiday in a Devon park which the day before was not available!! This happened when the last set of holidays were released as well, and i found availability the day after the code had been guessed (the official opening day of the site)and there was a mad scramble to book, but my particular date/park was not available until the next day.

    This would suggest that despite guessing the code and getting on the site a day earlier, it does not necessacarily mean that all the holidays/dates have been loaded on to the website until the official day of opening.
  • Had my cOnfirmation today for butlins bognor Regis and have managed to upgrade to a better apartment so really looking forward to the break now :-)

    Are most of MSE users "illegitimate" then? Oh dear...
