I don't want to have to go out and buy a mag

Has anyone got a discount code (and the requisite telephone number) for
one of these "in association with" deals from MCN, Bike, Ride, etc...

 

What do you want a discount on?

 

****! Ferry deals.

 

Which is a real bummer when you want to nick^Wborrow someone else's
bird.

They're usually crap deals anyway. I tried some of the mag ones last year
and they were coming to about £80 for the Dover/Calais P&O route (i.e. a 30%
reduction on the advertised fare, which I presume next to no-one actually
pays). Dunno about other routes though.

Try the tunnel with code "EBO2004", although the tunnel website will pick
this option up automatically anyway. Should give a decent discount. Can get
a 5 day return for £83 quid atm, but need to book by the 8th Jan.

The code for 2003 was 61418, but that expired in December.

You can probably just blag it and ask for the '30% off' discount as
shown in Bike magazine - most of the time they'll discount it without
knowing the reference number. They did when I booked my last trip to
Calais.

HTH

 

Have got 59.50 as a best price for the tunnel - but thanks!

 

I'll try it and see if the Bike mag 30% off deals works out better than
the 36ukp I've been quoted already.

 

I couldn't see an offer in MCN or Bike. I don't have a recent copy of Ride,
their October issue has an ad but the offer says bookings must be made
before December 23rd. What I mean to say is that you probably would find
what you want in a recent copy of Ride. Which I don't have. So I can't help.
Sorry.

 

Me too.

 

Thanks for looking!

 

I did that, 'cept I said "do you offer any discounts from the Motorcycle
magazines?" The girl at the other end said "which one" and I replied "I
think I'd prefer the one that gave the best discount". She laughed and
said "that's MCN".

 

Worth a go!

 

I'll rememeber that for next time.

Everything. JP and I never pay full retail, in fact, JP rarely pays at
all.

 

How long you going for? That's a good price for the tunnel.

 

That's based on a three day return (out Saturday back Monday).
