Guest JudgeMental Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 As we dont travel to Europe as much I stopped buying the 5 return frequent traveller pack and just get show offers on ferries..Thing is I can't stand the ferries! So...now that eurotunnel have brought in the facility to share the 5 crossing deal, I was wondering if anyone on here wants to share for 2014. have booking for Spain in October already so for us around next easter would be our first crossing....happy with 2 or maybe 3 crossings dependent on your requirements... I will bump this every now and again as in no rush....maybe if this works others could pair up, I realise that many use the tesco vouchers....Tunnel details below :-D http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/tickets/types/frequent-traveller/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Good idea Eddie I am sure you will get replies, as travellers who still work , can only travel a couple of timesa year Can't take up offer myself, as we live to close to Porstmouth, not to travel from there Pjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well come on then! That is me and Peter sorted...but I think this thread should aid introducing more members to each other with the idea of sharing this arrangement....may be worth stating if you want 2 or 3 crossings....

kelly58 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 A great Idea we have used the FQ account for the past 6 years our next trip to France next week which will be the last passage on this years account and will be looking to open again next year ., but may possibly want to take up a share option.

(gives you 10% discount) no cost Look up Brittany Ferry web site for details Any one interested PM me PJay Edit Sorry for high-jacking your thread Judge, but for some of us living in the south, Portsmouth or Poole/Plymouth better option than the Tunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hymer1942 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi Eddie can both parties be using at the same time or has one to be in the UK. REGARDS Barrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero boy Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Good idea, Eddie . Just had a look at the link and all the blurb is about the savings.....what's the up front cost of the two packages advertised (std acct or flexiplus acct)? We live in the south west and have been prepared to drive to Dover as the fares can be cheap, and we like the potter through France, but the tunnel may be another option.

Guest JudgeMental Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Barrie, No you just do your own thing ..The person thats signs up has to put both names down at that time and both named have to be there when travelling (independently not at the same time!), you cant give trips to a third party..So say you and me got together (I already have an arrangement with Philip) We would decide who want 2 or 3 of the 5 trips, you or I would book the deal after receiving a cheque from your travel partner. then you're on your own and can book what you want when you want :-D Chris its all on the website, are you having difficulty viewing it..I have copied the two choices below. I would only be interested in the cheaper standard account as most would be I suspect, I used it for years and it was fine... so each car return costs £86 (£420) camper supplement (any size) is £11. So you want 2 of the 5, send me a cheque £172. then you're on you own once you get confirmation of your frequent traveller password. When you want to travel you can book either online or by phone, pay the £11(per leg) supplement for camper so works out at £108 per crossing taken from eurotunnel site: Our Frequent Traveller accounts Frequent Traveller standard account Travel for less Only £43* per car each way Save up to £250* Single or NEW joint account available No registration fee No annual membership fee Travel on non-peak dates and times Peak supplements apply Min purchase of 10 tickets Open account Frequent Traveller Flexiplus account Do you want more flexibility? Only £127* per car each way Save up to £400* Single or NEW joint account available No registration fee No annual membership fee Travel any time of the day No peak supplements Min purchase of 10 tickets Extra benefits Flexible arrival and departure times Priority boarding Dedicated check-in lane Exclusive lounge EDIT: with the basic package I can get a crossing late afternoon or early evening. and returm before midday so this flexible enough... if you are always only wanting to go peak times maybe the more expensive package suits but it is expensive, and its going to be more difficult i suspect to find a partner..but like dating you never know!lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek500 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Anyone up for sharing? We'll do at least three return trips, so need to find someone who will do two minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Endoven? is looking to go to Spain before christmas and looking to share some time soon.....anybody? Domino is maybe looking for one return, so if you want 4......this is your chance A bit pointless PM'ing me as you need to post your requirements on this thread, saying if you want 1,2,3 or 4, then contact someone who wants the opposite.......get it?:-D I am now doing mine from march 2014 with young Syd, So Peter (2) probably looking for a partner who wants (3)....

Guest JudgeMental Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 derek500 - 2013-11-10 10:06 AM Just bumping to top. Anyone interested? Bumping is considered naughty, but understandable :-D why don't you say how many trips yo want and what time of year you wish to start using, as if you want to go now and someone wants to go in 6 months it's not going to work..so need to identify members with similar requirements..... Edit: turned up for my 11.30 Calais to Dover on Thursday to be told it was cancelled and next one 3 hrs later, which meant hitting London in rush hours...I was fuming especially when DFDS blatantly lie to your face with some BS excuse!... The boat was virtually empty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The Boat was nearly empt (Thought it was train? That,s why they cancelled the earlier one, and put two to-gether, and still nearly empty?? Saving costs, being a quick journey they can get away with it , I guess. never had this on a Ferry, (though can happen in bad weather PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving costs, being a quick journey they can get away with it , I guess. never had this on a Ferry, (though can happen in bad weather PJay I was on the ferry this year as only needed 2 crossings..hence the idea of this scheme? Oh it was all about saving costs! and not a fig for the customer..crossing was silky smooth. what got me was I could have easily mnade the 9.00am and asked why could you not text cutumers! more BS excuses followed...Tip: call on day and confirm crossing!:-S but we digress! *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 maybe time to think about this again for 2014. I have paired up with young Syd... You can add as many journeys as you need, I need a single next month to drive new van back from Germany, so I can buy an extra crossing and it stil leaves 5 returns to share, or you can just add as many as you need.... (£43 per single crossing) motorhome supplement is now £11 per leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Young Syd does not know his travel plans for this year and wont for a while...I need to book by next week so anyone want to split with me? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 kelly 58 looking for a partner Norm ditto but just wants one return Derek500 dito Just add yourself to list if still looking I signed up yesterday with Billgaski, its pretty easy, you just need all the nominated persons details. including telephone numbers,address, full name. also need to the long credit card number ( not end date or security key!) this is for ID when at terminal. if you dont supply this you have to go into booking hall each time you travel I paid £54 for a single back from France next Sunday (£43 + £11 camper supplement). The ferries were £80'ish and tunnel was £120 so a good deal....., silly not to sign up for it. 10 singles is the minimum, so if one wants 3 and the other 4, you just add more crossings £43+£11 (+£16 for dog,which i think scandalous) anyway who wants to be on a boat in this weather! adios amigos! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I see there were no DFDS NEC show offer codes this year and with ferry carnets getting more expensive, sharing a Eurotunnel frequent traveller scheme making even more sense....just state how many you want and post here and we will try and match you up! I've sighed up with Bill and booked a few of mine already and used one. It really is the fastest more efficient way of crossing......once you buy and split the basic 10 single crossings you can buy as many as you want at the same price.
