I suppose the problem with these schemes is that they are likely to cause you to compromise on where you go as you tend to use the sites in the scheme rather than selecting the site which is best for you. We are thinking of Italy this year and if we don't use ACSI or CC we know we are likely to double the cost of anyother sites we use!

Hi
We are going to Italy this year using our ACSI card
we may get some camping cheques to add some flexibility

People have mentioned other discount schemes, what are they?

Hi Franbee, Is this still up for grabs? I can't work out how to contact you directly, sorry. Let me know, as I am interested!

Whoever 'wins' it might be useful to know that you can still get the ACSI book from www.campingcard.com on their special offer €9.95 (excl postage) subscription rate.  With the postage our ACSI books cost just £10.41 - which we reckon we can save on the first night on site!

I was outbid on an ACSI book this morning on ebay, it went for £12.59 including postage. Decided not to bid higher as after Vals post I had a look on the acsi website. Am I write in thinking I have to sign up to buy the book every year to get it for the lower price? Vicarious books have it for £14 inc postage (thats just buying the book as a one off).

Have emailed Franbee in the hope I get the book for £10

With exchange rates as they are I think you can buy direct from ACSI in Holland for under £13.00. including postage

Oops , just read ValA's post. Even cheaper than i thought

No you don't.  You do 'sign up' for a subscription, but they ask each year if you want to renew it - and you have a choice not to.   Don't forget that 9.95 euros is only around £8.36 - and a couple of euros on top for postage.

ordered last night it was very easy to do, thanks Val. Did read that you have to subscribe for a minimum of two years but thats fine as I expect we'll use the acsi in 2013 as well.

That's what they say, but this year was our second year, and we got an email asking us if we wished to continue with the subscription - and we had to complete bank details again.  It wasn't taken automatically from the account.
