Park resorts have doubled the price of their accomodation within a week!

I'm on a tight budget, so thought I'd use my Tesco vouchers for it.

Last week my holiday was £120 - this week it is over £240 (I had to wait on the vouchers arriving).

The price increase has coincided perfectly with the clubcard vouchers being issued, and the lagtime between ordering and receiving. Am I a cynic, or are Park resorts at the rip-off? Anybody else had this problem?

Back under canvas it is then!

Are you sure? Vouchers can't be used with some of the special offers, which could be what your £120 price was - see this thread vouchers

I know that John - cheers.

The FULL price was £120 - the discount price was only £96!!!

It now means even with the vouchers, I would be paying over a £100, more than the original cash price. Time that the government got involved with holiday profitereeing during school holidays OR spread the holidays of county schools throughout the year - not clashing, and the companies couldn't do it.

I'm a bit annoyed if you hadn't guessed :)

And if you go to the Isle of Wight, they don't give you the free Ferry Crossing advertsed in all their brochures.  I went last year and stayed in a static.  I saved £100 by using Tesco Vouchers - and got charged £35 for the "free" crossing, although when I booked by phone I was assured there would not be a charge.
