Help. Setting out for France on 1st Sept and find that 2009 ASCI cards books are out of print and cannot get one until 2009 edition emerges in December. Has anyone finished touring this year and can let me have their discount card and handbook?

Hi

They come with the book when you purchase it. They are not numbered etc, but have space for you to put your name and address on rear. Our experience is that you simply flash the card on arrival to get the discounted rate. It stipulates a current card to get discounts. Mine ran out at end of 2008. regards Peter

When i used mine this year on a few occasions the site owners also asked for Camping card as well and checked the names on both cards

Ina, we've used an ACSI card with David's name on - and then handed in my passport (we don't have a CCI - and that would be in my name anyway if we bought it through the Caravan Club).  Now that there are so many 'unattached' couples with different names it's much more difficult to be certain which name is actually correct.  We've never been asked to give in his passport instead. However, I really wouldn't want to be forging someone else's signature when completing a registration form on a site (which sometimes happens) - that's a whole different ball game.

Perhaps the original poster meant an unused card - or didn't realise that it has to be signed.

Many thanks. I have used acsi for several years and have never ever bothered to complete details on back of card. Have used it extensively throughout france,Italy and Spain and it has never been queried. It is fantastic value and we have evenn found on some sites that we have paid less per night for a few nights stay than people who had advance booked for several months to get a cheaper rate.

However have found source in Holland that still has a few copies left, albeit at increased cost, but one nights stay could recoup this ! Many thanks.
