Just had email from ACSI saying the 2023 price is going up to €21.94 (exc. delivery) for the subscription with app.
Seems a hefty hike on the face of it, but having said that, for our recent 16 nighter in early June, (3 different sites) ACSI saved us around €70 (from memory) compared to Joe Public prices, so I guess we shouldn't complain.
... and... we may well yet save further still, as we return to France for another 14 nights (at least) in September.
------------- 2024: 38 nights thus far...
2023: 47 nights
2022: 40 nights
2021: 30 nights

I don't care about the price rise, I saved more than that fee in just one night on our recent trip, Joe Public price €42 per night, ACSI price €18 per night.
The ACSI card represents exceptional value to those travelling out of high season!

The rise is probably due to the fact that a large amount of paper is sourced from Russia. The current situation restrict world supply and cause prices to rocket.
I shudder to think what the print runs would be like for ACSI with all its language editions.
When I was a publisher, one of my magazines had a circulation of over 1 million. We used just under 2 tonnes of newsprint for each page printed and the average issue was over 200 pages. ACSI will have additional set-up costs for each language edition as well as additional editorial staff wages.
For us the cover price of the magazine covered about 23% of our costs and we had to get the rest from advertising.
I think it will remain extremely good value for money as you are likely to have recouped your outlay after 4 or 5 nights.

Which site was that, if you don't mind saying?
