    Especially if they want facilities, as I can see sites initially opening as non facs and possibly remaining like that for some time.

    Another theory for you! Perhaps they have been too successful and at the rate they were selling them realised that all booked sites next year, and further forward, would effectively have a 20% discount on them which then couldn't be recovered by price increases? Perhaps the expiry date was introduced to tame demand!!!!

    I think CMC are on very thin legal ground if they repudiate the terms and conditions of a purchase after the purchase has been made. If the vouchers were purchased with a set of terms and conditions present and then the terms  are subsequently changed they are repudiating the original contract and subject to legal challenge.

    Anyone fancy taking them to the Small Claims Court?

    There may be a disclaimer or a "right" to change the T&Cs but I'll let someone else use the toothcomb. wink

    The offer is only valid until the end of June so I can't see it affecting the club in the way you say.

    It would not take long to get through £1000 of vouchers 40 nights @ £25 ,  we did over 200 nights last year ,(probably  not this yearfrown)

    The return on investment was undeniably good. It was just the revised terms and conditions I didn't like. Prior to that I was going to part with £600.

    Our vouchers arrived this afternoon, (within 5 minutes of the time given in my email). No expiry date nor date of issue, only problem, they are all of £20 value, however, there is only one site we would wish to visit that works out less than £20 per night(mid-week discount). So quite happy to make up the difference in cash. As these are monetary value vouchers, not site night vouchers what difference does any future price rise make? I'm still making 20% interest less p&p. That will do for me.

    If site prices go up 20% before you get a chance to use them then you will have made a small loss.

    Not really, if the cost of your stay came to £120 you would use that value of vouchers that you had paid £100 for, plus p&p. Alternatively you could pay by credit card, which would cost £120.

    I'm old. Too many things could happen to me over the next 12 months to make buying vouchers a sensible plan. I don't even look for long best before dates on yogurt any more.

    But since the Club now have your money, you cannot choose to vote with your wheels and use a non Club site or CL, which might well be better value in that situation.

    Plus, as said, who knows what may happen, when we will next be able to go away?

    Well you could when they had no expiry date. Keep them to use off peak, or when the CC site was where you wanted to be.  As you say who knows when we can go away. I didn't mind them having my money as long as it didn't expire.😂
