Center Parcs - quick query

Hi - quick question about Center Parcs;

I booked around 3-4 weeks ago, and got a 6 person lodge for £499 (which is pretty good). Since then, the prices have dropped a bit to £479. ... ie. If I'd waited longer to book, I would have saved £20. Does Center Parcs do some sort of 'money back' thing? - I think I real about it somewhere?? Whereby they always offer you the 'cheapest' price even if you booked early?? If so, is it just a case of phoning up and pleading my case? I'm just sure I read about this policy before...

Cheers
Alex

    Amazon used to do something similar if you ordered something and the price dropped in the meantime. They would refund the difference.

    Why not call up CP and ask if they have a price guarantee? What have you to lose apart from 10 minutes and a phone call?

    The other side the coin is that if the price of the holiday increases, would you be prepared to pay extra?

    They only do a price match if you are a repeat customer who booked a holiday within 28 days of going home. Give them a ring though, you never know your luck.

    Our price went down £30 and they gave us the difference but we were repeat customers.

    Annoying when you see something like that.

    Im a CP fanatic & go often but I've never had to call them cos I tend to book about 18 months on advance & get it as low as poss & they don't go lower.

    Worth giving them a call to see what they say & you might get vouchers in return.

    The price I paid for 4 nights in January was £199 - don't think it will go as low!

    It's been years since I've seen a Centerparcs code. Have they stopped releasing them? I also notice they don't do toddler or Senior discounts anymore :(
