Couldn't find any mention of this so worth posting. This is a limited offer - only 49 available at time of posting. They're not exactly going like hotcakes as in the past two days it has only gone from 50 to 49 because of my booking. It did take me about 3 reads to work out what the offer actually was though! not very clear from the description

The offer is £50 in clubcard vouchers for 7 nights free self-catering accommodation in a mobile home at any thompson al fresco park with availability in Italy, Spain (Costa Brava) or the South of France (Cote d’Azur, Languedoc/Roussillon) only, arriving between 1st May and 21st May (inclusive). Not including extras or travel.

I just booked 7 nights at Norcenni Girasole Club Tuscany for £50 clubcard vouchers + £14 damage waiver + free baby pack (cot, high chair & bath). Linen & Cot Linen is an extra £10-£18 per pack so bring your own if possible.
Current price online for my booking minus the extras is £265, so that works out at 5.3x the voucher value. I imagine the saving is even bigger for a bigger family as they would have to put you in a larger home. Although keycamp and eurocamp advertised prices are slightly cheaper, haven't looked at their extras...

I think they will put a hold on a property for you if you haven't got the code yet so worth phoning up to check, but it seems like there is plenty of availability where I have looked. Unfortunately the phone number is a minimum of 10p a minute to call, or even more from a mobile. I tried to find a regional number for it but none of the alternatives seem to exist anymore.

Copy of the instructions I was emailed with the code:

1. Call the reservations team on 0871 971 0600 to make your booking. If you have taken an option please call immediately to confirm.
2. Bookings must be made by 7 May 2012. All holidays are subject to availability so please book as soon as possible. Bookings must be made directly with the Al Fresco Holidays reservations team and cannot be made online or via a travel agent. At the start of the call please inform the reservations consultant that you are using your Al Fresco special offer token code.
