What will you pay for this, really depends on how resistant you are, it will start somwhere in the Region of £20 plus per point but will drop to around half that figure if you tough it out. >>Allan this is an option Ive been considering.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: To Pauline re Allans message Author: Allan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:52:35 02/16/05 Wed The 400 point option was put to me first at about £5699 and I refused it. The offer then moved to 200 points for about £3,200. I again refused. After showing a degree of reluctance, I eventually landed up with 200 points for £2695 inc "legals" plus 500 choice points that are a one of and last for 18 months. I reckon this was the best deal I could get.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: To Pauline re Allans message Author: Bobby [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:25:07 02/20/05 Sun I think I am understanding you right and that you have effectively paid £2695 to switch from fixed weeks to CLC points. Whilst recognising that this produces a saving in maintenance costs of £168pa net after membership fee of £132 it seems to me that this equates to a "payback"period on your additional investment of some 16 years - I dont think I will bother - if going down the points route RCI points look a better bet to me and I am increasingly coming to the conclusion that CLC are rip off merchants who have our so called reps just where they want them !

Also we will hopefully gain with the other benefits such as 2 for 1's and upgrades.
