Anyone hazard a guess when October will be released from Bristol?

Flights are now available from Gatwick up until 25th October, so hopefully anytime soon :D

Once again, despite being signed up for all easyJet alerts from LGW to Faro, its our friends here on CVO.com who inform us of the flight release first.

Thanks Jan.

In return, here is a warning

I was booking one of my many flights each year with them only today and at the end of the transaction was invited to
"Click here to claim £10 Cash Back
on your next easyJet booking!"
Sounds like a deal to me, but the next page you are presented with is 3 screens deep, filled with a morass of info highlighting the benfits and how you can collect points for your cashback, but.... there, hidden on the page in small print when you sign up for the cashback:

30 DAYS FREE plus only £8 a month thereafter

You may have read of the "VistaPrint scam" (Google it !). This is exactly the same. Its not actually a scam, but very questionable aggressive marketing. Many people have found this "mysterious" £8.00 being deducted from their credit card every month without them realising it.

You have been warned, and please warn all your friends who travel to The Algarve by sleazyjet too. Its easy to avoid when you know.

I have just got myself an easyjet credit card and will wait with interest to see how I do with getting the flights. It makes no difference to me which credit card I use, so if I DO manage to get money off my flights, it can't be a bad thing.

:lol: Just booked a flight for my daughter and this came up, having looked at it I agree it is a way of getting you to have a card you probably don't want and charging you £8 a month for the privilege, so be warned....

£8 per month? - there is no annual fee according to the ts and cs. Unless you have seen something I haven't ...

A bit of confusion here....
I am referring to the new REWARDS program, not the credit card, which comes with its own set of benefits.

There is no card with the rewards program, just a monthly deduction.

Ahh - I have just realised that LJ was replying to you and not to me!
I have spent the past 20 minutes going over the ts and cs wtih a fine toothed comb in order to make sure EJ is not pulling a fast one!
