ACSI card question (1 Viewer)

[webdev]

Hi all, I’ve got my new, and first ever ACSI card and it seems you can only use it by presenting it at the site reception. What happens if you want to pre-book a site online? I’m looking at booking an ACSI-accepted site online but there's no mention of using your card anywhere.
I guess the site will not give you a refund if you then turn up with an ACSI card in your hand?
Or, does it only work by turning up in person and hoping there's room for you?

Is the site asking for full payment on booking? If so this is not usual.

As the dude said, unusual for full payment, deposit only, if I stay on a site it’s always an ACSI site... when and where are you going...?

Most people who use ACSI just turn up without booking and manage to get a pitch, I have used it for years and never pre booked and never had a problem. It may be busier around some of the popular ones in southern Spain but there is usually a space available, if one site is full try the next one.

The site is Erwlon nr. Llandovery, Wales. I’m accessing the site through the ACSI app, but the prices come up the same as using a regular browser, i.e. £32 for 2 nights in February. Full price has to be paid at time of booking.

I use a site in Cornwall. They won't let you book in advance if you are using Acsi. Tried doing same in France with same result. Just told to turn up.which is ok if you know they have plenty of room

Got my new ACSI card a couple of days ago, delivered to the site in Spain we’re staying on. Didn’t I read somewhere that new this year is the ability to book some sites using the app?

I tour very infrequently and briefly in U.K., always CLs or Britstops and never been asked for a deposit, but I've booked online in France once (it was imperative to get a pitch there for a specific three day festival period for me and my son and DIL in their caravan) and when we checked out the owner deducted the ACSI discount.

We never book ahead when travelling in Europe but, although we haven't used an ACSI site in the Uk, we often book ahead when in the UK because its usually so much busier. if you are in the UK could you ring them to check it out? I'd be interested to know for future reference.
