Do any specialist family skiing companies offer repeat customer discounts?

Just wondering really, we've been before with Family Ski Company and they don't Sad

Ski Famille offer a "loyalty discount" (5% off 2nd/3rd holidays). Also an early booking discount of 5% if you are looking for next season.

Thanks sandk. Is that 5% whether it's your 2nd, 3rd, 4th holiday....or is it 5% per repeat booking (5% for 2nd, 10% for 3rd, 15% for 4th etc)?

I've had a look on their website and can't see anything about it.

FSC do offer 10% discount for early bird bookings but that's only off the cost of accomodation - does Ski Famille cover everything?

I think it's 5% for 2nd and 3rd holiday, then 7.5% for 4th & 5th and 10% after that. If you click on the link for the 2012/2013 prices it's at the bottom of that page/document. I imagine it's off the per person price that they state, which is accommodation & food, childcare for the kids (although not ski school itself), and airport transfer / ferry crossing.

Family Ski Company do if you ask. It wasn't much of an offer imo - 5% off if I paid in full in May for a holiday the following January.

I think we had a disount form SkiBeat last year, and from Mark Warner in previous years. Woth asking if all else is equal and you have a better price for a similar company in the same resort.

Also so called 'discounts' need to be scrutinised. we were given a discount from PGL, but the small rpint was you had to take hteir insurace, which dramatically reduced the value, as needless to say we did not need theri insurance...)

Esprit used to , not sure if still do.

Also, unless you are going in Feb half term, worth waiting till the week before - you will get a far better deal last minute.

Thanks all.

We go with a big group of friends so leaving it until the last minute isn't an option.

I think there's deals to be done!!

Family Ski Company have offered me 5% discount, and a further 7.5% if we pay in full before the end of April - probably worth another look?!?

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 28/02/2012 20:49

We're looking at being a very big group for 2013 - I'll going to get negotiating!
