Natwest Advantage Gold - Thomas Cook

Julio_Geordio

Does this really offer a 10% holiday discount if booked through Thomas Cook?

I'm about to book a holiday for July 2013, and it's going to cost £5k+

Would it be worthwhile signing up to advantage gold, just for the thomas cook discount? or will the upto 10% be more like 1%

Well for starters your going through the most expensive travel agents so your going to lose hundreds anyway so 10% is not going to make any difference.

Try gem holidays or On the beach...

The reason I mentioned gem holidays As we booked up Spain last year for 4 of us all inclusive and was so much cheaper then thomas cook I think really take the biscuit with their prices.

Just priced one holiday on gem holidays.

4 adults, 2 children 14nights staying at the Club Paradise Beach apartments AI. Portinatx, Ibiza. £4631 on gem. 15th July 2013

The same holiday is on Thomas Cook for £4248 but the flight is on the 17th July 2013, and includes 2 rooms instead of 6 shoved into 1 room. shuttle transfers as well.

Sites like on the beach and similar ones can be cheaper, but i guess not always.

Not sure about Natwest bank account.

Although you can get cashback for Thomas cook from Top Cashback 2.5-5.5% - http://www.topcashback.co.uk/thomas_cook/ So you might get £100+ back.

Yes. Disclaimer I work for Natwest

I booked a holiday that was £4243 and they came in at £3841.

They don't just use Thomas Cook. They also use thomson, first choice, hayes and javis, Kuoni, If only and Virgin to name but a few

Not always the cheapest but when they throw in airport lounges for free and they don't charge the 2.25 or 2.5% for using a credit card it's a great deal.

please search on here and google gem before booking!

we use rbs royalties gold which i think is similar to account mentioned(might be switching to when we come back from holiday cos rbs being sold)

last three years they have been the cheapest and airport lounge no card charge and insurance so well worth it

regarding insurance last year we had to cancel our holiday due to my illness and it was sorted very well
