The Sun £9.50 holidays, JAN 2013 code words and final word cracking thread

ncameron1

Hi

I sent off my 10 tokens a little late - I think they had just published token 13 when we posted them as we missed a couple.

Not done this before - can anyone tell me what happens next?
Do we hear from the Sun or the park?

1st choice was 7nts at Les Sablons

OH sent off a cheque today for the balance, taking the £15 damage waiver off.

We did this last time. We asked for the £15 damage waiver to be removed, and were prepared to pay the £100 deposit when we got to the site. They didn't ask for it though!
OH was paying the balance over the phone today for la croix in october.
I'm assuming he did the same this time. Will check with him when he gets home.
Steph you got an upgrade.:D I'm jealous. lol. We got a two bed villa nova with decking.

Shame you didn't get the upgrade too!

Thanks, when I phone them tomorrow I'll ask them to take the £15 off. I'd rather pay £100 deposit and get it refunded than have to pay an extra £15.

I'm just looking at Travelodge/Premier Inn for staying in the night before getting the eurotunnel (as I'm travelling about a 4 hour drive to the tunnel). Premier Inn is closer but Travelodge in Ashford is less than half the price, so think I'll be booking that as it's on the way

We haven't booked ours yet, but we have stayed in the ashford one a few times. Think we paid £28 for the night last october. Did look at premier inn, but it's nearly always double the price!
Must book soon.

Following on from my other post, i have today received email confirmation of my booking. We're booked into Haven Devon Cliffs over the easter weekend. Am sooooo excited as this will be my first time on a sun holiday.

Has anyone been before??

Thnx for ur help

We've been seven or eight times over the past few years. Obviously the size of it (nearly 2,000 caravans) makes it easier to get into, I suppose.

Absolutely loved it every time we went. Beach is pretty good although two or three summers ago, they had a problem with green algae on the beach below the camp. Other than that, it's fantastic place... it should be considering the money they've spent on it.

We don't put it as 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice any more because we want to experience other sites but I always put it as a number 4 or 5 just in case. Makes a cracking consolation prize!

Thats the one we've booked. Same reasoning... sometimes its possible to get a Premier Inn near the tunnel for £29, but no guarantees.

Hello im new to this, this is the first time i have done a £9.50 holiday and i have been allocated my first choice but they havent added my luxury upgrade on! I definitely ticked the box but haven now want me to pay full price for an upgrade! Any ideas on what to do?? Or anybody had the same happen to them? Thanks

Does anyone have an unwanted priority reference number they'd be willing to pass on to me. Would rather book online than send off the vouchers and settle for what they choose for us!

If so please PM me.

Thanks

I booked online the day the code work was cracked and received the automated confirmation email from the sun.
I booked Gold Sands, Rhyl for 22nd Feb and am still waiting for confirmation from the park.
Is anyone else still waiting for their confirmation??
Ive tried to contact the sun but just got an automated response that didnt really help.
Thanks!
