    So just let me get this straight in my head. Last year I had to buy the paper and use sun savers to get in on this early. It reads to me as though this year there will be no benefit to doing this and I might as well just use the code words to save going out to buy a paper and scan the code on 13th? It will be quicker and easier to get the code word off here and book online? This is how I did it on previous years but before last, but for some reason it changed last year. Am I correct?

    The booking sites are stated as opening on the same day, but
    neither state a time so isn't it still possible that Sun Saver will get access to the booking site earlier than collecting the code words from the newspaper ?

    Sun Savers booking office opens once they enter their Sun Saver code from Sunday's Newspaper so only those that can get the paper before we get Sunday's Codeword will get in before us

    Has anyone else got a reference number? Had my priority letter and email but can’t see the reference number

    Reference numbers were no longer used once Sun Saver VIP codes started being used
    If you normally buy the Sun carry on entering your Sun Saver codes towards your £5 , and enter your VIP bonus code as well as today's Sun Saver code
    If you don't, then watch this thread and enter the Codewords to book same day as Sun Saver VIP's

    Excellent thanks.

    I think I'll just enter the code words from here then and stay up late on the Saturday night.

    Hi you are using the wrong code you need to input the 8 number and letter code for sun savers. It’s on the bottom of the sun saver page.

    Ah, I was getting confused with Step 3 - https://club950.co.uk/howitworks/

    After reading the thread again this bit now makes sense from what essex boy posted, guess I just need to wait until the 13th or 14th for the Book Now link to appear and enter the codes fro the first page.
    Once you have your tokens, click BOOK NOW in the menu above and enter the codewords from the tokens.

    You can't enter Codewords into Sun Savers
    All Codewords including bonus gets entered in the main booking office once it opens

    Got my 4 dates and 3 parks I would like, just need to select a fourth and play the waiting game.

    No guarantee of course, but we usually get the last code needed either from London or leaked from a Sun worker earlier than most Sun Savers get their Sun Saver codes
    Means doing the night shift next Saturday night but it usually pays off

    If I was after a UK site I'd watch the local breakfree thread but all of my sites are in Europe

    Thanks Essex Boy. What I don’t understand is that by anyone having the priority code then everyone can book early? How do they know if you’ve already had the priority code or just using what’s already out there? In previous years you needed a reference number and the priority code

    They don't, that's their preference
    TBH I don't understand why they don't make Sun Savers more of a a priority as they did in the past
