Center parcs new payment options

Just to inform those of you who frequent Center Parcs, they now have a new option of paying for your holiday. Instead of a deposit & a final payment 10 weeks before you can now pay as and when you like inbetween, although the balance still needs to be paid 10 weeks before the start of your holiday.

Great idea as you can pay monthly & you avoid the big whack at the end.

well done CP!:T:T

    Great money making idea for them!!

    Why not pay monthly into your own savings account and get some interest on your money instead of letting them have it??

    Some people find saving difficult, so if you have paid it, you cant spend it. Most holiday companies do this, I am glad CP have finally done the same!
