I haven't been here for a while and have booked to go to Whinfell forest in 2 weeks time. It has apparently all changed now...they give you wristbands or something so you dont have to use cash anywhere? But I dont seem to be able to find much info on these wristbands besides them apparently opening the villas, lockers, and being able to be used as kinda an onsite credit deal. £300 limit to be paid the day you leave according to the centre parcs site.
This sounds good, as last time I went there I managed to lose my purse with £250 in it..only for someone to hand it in at reception empty lol. So that was a bit of an ordeal...
So how do these wristband things work. Do you just say book a meal then scan your wristband and tell villa number and it gets added to your 'tab'? Or is it taken direct from credit card right then? Just thinking because I am due to get paid ON the day we leave so if it doesn't get taken there and then its going to allow me a lot more flexibility cash wise, if that makes sense. I'm slightly worried about using this credit though because occasionally I get paid a day or so late and I dont want the stress. Its only happened twice in 5 years mind, but sods law says it would happen when I have spent the money in advance lol
