  • Hi there

    I sent off my booking form, postal order and tokens yesterday.
    Today I received a priority code after emailing them a week ago.
    Cant believe my bad luck!!
    Do you think they would do anything if I called them? I guess I can only sit back and wait to see if I am able to get a holiday!

    You could always try booking online and have two holidays :)

    aww no way !

    you could always use the priority code to book another holiday ( for different dates than on the postal application )

    hope you get something :)

    I like the suggestion of trying for two holidays:D i would! That way you give yourself two chances of getting something. Good luck:)

  • Thanks for all the help!
    I might think about booking a second holiday!!

    Are all the Europe destinations, camping or ones where you take your own caravan??
    Are any with the static type caravans?

    I love the European ones. We've been going to the Vendee for a number of years using the Sun, and have always got a static caravan :)

    I dont think there's anything second rate about booking a seven night holiday in a very popular french park for a fraction of the normal cost in the school holidays. That's what i did as did many others.
    Will probably book another break in April as well:D
    Sorry you didn't get what you wanted, but lots of others did!

    I agree, we've been doing the sun holidays for years (3 or more time a year) and have been very, very happy with the camps and dates we have got.

    Hi

    I am a bit late this year, does anyone have a spare priority code they are not using?

    Would be most grateful
  • Apologies for sounding really dim, I know some have commented that they got a letter with a reference number on to start them off, due to booking previously on a previous offer.

    How would one start if they never received a letter? I've never brought the Sun or anything so I am a bit of a newbie to all this!! Just trying to save a bit of money on the holidays this year so wanted to take every deal that comes our way - but I have no idea where I would apply for a reference number for this deal from?
