Sun £9.50 Holidays Jan 2014 Code words

  • I see a few people were complaining earlier today that the facility to make bookings without tokens or code words for Sun Plus members was not working.

    I tried just before and just after midnight via my Sun Plus account but it took me to the site requiring a reference number and token words. However when I tried again just after 6 am this morning I was taken to a different page requiring just my e-mail address. I then had my first choice of date (May 26 Mon-Fri) and location booked in a few minutes.

    Anyone still having problems try going into your Sun Plus Account, then the Sun Perks section, then the Sun Holidays banner - still working for me.

    Must say I'm delighted with Sun Plus. We've had four free cinema trips for four so far with another booked, a £5 Morrisons voucher and £9.50 free rail travel all for just entering code words from the paper:j

    somebody might buy one off you?



    Hmmm, might be worth a shot. Anyone want a week in Dordogne in July? Will give it a couple of days for the Sun to get back to me first though, as I've asked if they can refund one.


    My code worked for multiples, I followed up my Dordogne week with a week in Loire on the way home, saving £1000 on brochure prices!! Also booked Duinrell for a weekend in October :-)

    Hafan y Mor was our UK back-up choice if we couldn't get France (which we did). You'll have a great holiday there :-)

    That's where I ended up too. The kids looked on Haven's website and found Hafan and liked it; we ended up getting it for October half term.

    Sorry for everybody who wanted Duinrell and didn't get it, particularly Lil Lady who is such a helpful forum member!!!

    I was lucky enough to book a holiday to Duinrell starting on 23rd May. However, I panicked when I finally managed to get into the site and booked for 3 nights instead of 7. I tried logging back in to book a 4 night break starting on the Monday, but it wasn’t available. I now feel that it is going to be a very long journey for just 3 nights and I know my girls are going to want to stay longer. Has anybody else been to Duinrell for only three nights?


    I have- we usually ever go for 3 nights - this time am going for 4 which is a novelty for me :-). 3 nights is plenty- first day arrive settle in- you cant usually get in till about 3pm but you can park up and go straight to the parks if you wish? 2nd day all day at park, 3 day all day at water park (or other way round dependant on weather) 4 day pack up and come home. We even managed to visit the local town and another town futher away as the water park is open to 10pm so you have plenty of time to fit it all in.... you will get lots done :-) enjoy.

    On the booking form where my 'Sun Priority Booking Reference' is printed. It states

    Plus we are also giving you the chance to book as many holidays as you like this year with the multi booker Priority Booking Reference at the top of the letter

    I have tried this and it does work.

    I cant comment on what you have on your letter. I was just stating what was on the Sun Holidays FAQs.

    The point I've been trying to make regarding multiple bookings is that (if you've got a 'multi-booker' code) you can keep making those additional bookings in any name, at any address and for anybody, so you can keep using your multi-booker's code to make multiple bookings for family, friends, neighbours, whatever, and as from the next promotion, as 'previous bookers' they should all be entitled to claim priority booking codes in their own right.

    The point is that anyone who's got it printed on their letter, should in theory be able to book more than one holiday using their 'Priority booking reference. Just like me.

    When my friends tried something similar on my behalf a couple of years ago, I got a priority booking form for the next promotion. They didn't.

    If that happens then you should contact them via the website as they will send you your own code if you have had a holiday with them in the last two years. Too late for now but remember for next time.
