Club Vouchers

The vouchers presented the CMC to have, in effect, a loan advance from participating members in return for a discount. Not a bad idea to help with cash flow I thought. By putting such a relatively short time constraint on them would dissuade me from even considering purchase. The proportion of time spent on CMC sites as against C&CC sites and others is variable and I would not wish to feel constrained to maintain my quota of CMC site nights in order to preserve the value of my investment over what is likely to be little more than a single season for many.

Not happy with the club now adding a expiry date. Will have to think hard if we are going to bother I think a backward step. Please reverse this silly move ASAP. I use the ferry booking service about 6 times a year and a few nights now and again on club sites but the summer prices are far to high for me. Go to France or in fact most of Europe and see what you pay never close to C&MC prices. This voucher was a help but with the expiry date !!!!

I've just ordered some. It seems like a fair offer to me. it will give the club some cash flow at the moment and my reward will be 20% discount. Apart from the £2:50 postage!!

I'm waiting to see if the site facilities will be open on club sites. If they aren't and if there is no reduction in price, I won't be going to club sites so have no need for the vouchers. 

I too Tony still think it’s a helpful discount ,and to ask a minimum £100 purchase is not unreasonable .If they are carrying an expiry date of the end of 2021 then to me that sounds easily doable and easily met by most. To start saying oh I will wait to see if the facilities are open or some other thing ,or I will not use the Club sites because of this or that ,to me that is being unreasonable to the Club.Surely if the Club choose to keep the facility’s closed it will be for the safety and well-being of its members and will only be short term.Or am I missing something.Just my opinion.

If facilities are not to be open, that is fine, but the site fee should reflect this.

Exactly ... you'd be as well at a CL & not have the myther of the white/blue/red/purple peg 🙄

IMHO people have been more upset at the fact the goal posts were moved ie initially no expiry date & then there was

I would agree. Plus the fact that it wasn't made easily visible in the later promotional emails they sent out. Which you were unlikely to scrutinise in detail,  if you had already looked at the offer. Fortunately OH did.😀

Plus of course the lack of logic. Why wouldn't they want you to hang onto them and use them in 2 or 3 years. They have your money for that period and by the time you used them, price rises would have taken care of the discount they gave you.🤔

Perhaps the mistake the Club made was not putting an expiry date on the original vouchers? I think there has been a lot of false outrage about the issue of vouchers. Who in their right mind would buy enough vouchers to last several years? As Steve suggests it would be a false economy because as prices increase each year the value of the discount would be diminished by the time they were used. From the club's point of view I would imagine they would be concern that the value of the vouchers sold would all go into this years accounts which might make what will be a poor financial year marginally better. However going forward they would have to honour vouchers which would, in effect, reduce their real income for the years in which the vouchers were used going forward. I am not suggesting the Club has dealt with the issue particularly well but I don't think it is as big an issue as some are making it out to be.
