Will Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 LD Lines' new frequent traveller scheme seems to have passed by somewhat un-noticed on the France forums:http://www.ldlines.co.uk/loyalty-program.htmlIt will probably look more attractive at the end of the month when the two crossings per weekday service starts at Portsmouth.

Chancer Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Other than getting 1000's of loyalty miles for each trip I cannot see at what rate/value they can be redeemed at or am I being thick?If you have spent say £100 on crossings how much discount will that get you against further ones?Or to put it another way, how many times do you have to make a crossing before getting a free one?

Weegie Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Useful to remember that Transmanche do a 20% discount for senior over 60 youth under 25student under 27disabled personIt cannot be done by booking on line but only by telephoning - UK contact number for UK to France and French number for France to UK.Booked today for Dieppe to Newhaven return in February. Car and two was £125 less 20% plus a £2 fee for booking by telephone - Total £102. A useful saving for those who qualify. http://www.transmancheferries.co.uk/tariffs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its all on their websiteSo if you take a typical return cost of £250 including cabins that would earn 2500 points.An off peak return needs 8500 points plus 7500 points for the cabin (one day 7 one night) so that means one free trip for every six/seven paid.

MrCanary Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Théière - I would guess about 6 or 7 round trips. Some were more expensive - Newhaven/Dieppe, a couple were the much-missed (perfect for us) Dover to Dieppe and a couple Dover/Boulogne...But they were all trips I was going to make anyway and just for the sake of joining the scheme for free and remembering to include my membership number on all the bookings, hey presto - a free round trip!

And there was me looking at all crossings including Newhaven on the LD lines website. Hiding the discount on their Transmanche site means many folk would miss it, so well done to you for pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 To make things even more confusing Transmanche now operate the Portsmouth routes for LD Lines, but the discounts only apply to Newhaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
