Thomas Cook Holiday Club

What exactly is it? I've just found out I am eligible and had a quick browse of the site and the claimed discounts seem pretty impressive. If booking through them is it still a package deal you are buying and is there anything worth looking out for?

Thanks in advance

Sorry I can't answer your question but I would also be interested in people's experiences of this site.

you get set discount off Thomas Cook holidays. Is always the brochure price, not last minute deals.
you can only get the discount through the website/on the dedicated tel number. cannot be used in any store

Thanks for this. Have you used them? The site seems very basic compared to the main TC site.

I would like to use them if they offer a cheaper deal but have concerns as the reason I have access to the site is due to me being an M&S temp. If I was to book a holiday and then leave / not have my contract renewed would I still be entitled to my holiday?

Just had a look on this site, and it needs some drastic updating. Clicked on the present cruise offers, and they are departing in ......... 2011 !!!!!

I'm eligible through our work and contacted them when I was booking a cruise in January (sailed in June just gone so they did cover 2012!). I'd gone on the TC website and got a price, then contacted the holiday club and got it down by £200. We had about £1000 in TC vouchers as wedding gifts and they told me I could use them but would have to post them off and get them back credited and it seemed a bit of a faff, plus having to do everything recorded delivery. I went into my local branch, and asked if they could price match what I'd been told by the Holiday Club and they did. Result, cheaper price, vouchers just handed over as part payment in store and a nice lady I dealt with the whole way through

I got offered an 8% discount rough MotoNovo Car Finance on any Thomas cook holiday club bookings.

Was quoted £3586 for 7 nights on a particular holiday to turkey on the holiday club website, then found it on the normal TC website at £3202 for 14 nights.

Then separately checked another turkey hotel and was quoted £3900 on the holiday club site and just under £3100 on the normal TC website.

Sadly it looks like a complete racket to me with the sales pitch being that you are a member of some special club and therefore creates a mindset that it's the best deal available when it clearly isn't.

MSE might want to get TC Head Office to comment?
