opinions4u Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Bumping this thread. A clear increase in use of PlayerShare WebShop for train tickets and the odd hotel booking. It's great to see. MK Dons, Portsmouth, Brentord etc coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 For anyone interested there was single tickets to Crawley for about £21 & £16 but none really coming back yet for that price. Maybe cheaper to get a cheap single to and from London to Manchester or a £37 travelcard to London and then just a cheap return to Crawley.

Crawley is right next to Gatwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Expedia link in PlayerShare WebShop pays commission back on all flights booked. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/goto.php?rb=3-3456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 More expensive than booking direct mind, so more efficient to book via BA then make a separate contribution to PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Dead simple - if you're travelling to any Latics fixture please book your tickets via PlayerShare WebShop. Trains for any operator via the link to Virgin pay 2% commission to PlayerShare. No credit card surcharges, unlike TheTrainline. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Virgin&order=alpha&page=V Hotels for those trips to London and Bournemouth with 8% going to PlayerShare. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Hotels.com&order=alpha&page=search National Express Coaches pay 3% of any spend back to PlayerShare. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=National+express&order=alpha&page=search Keep your eye open for Diego's away travel guides for which station to travel to. Quick bump for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 If that's how it works out, stick with it! Sorry mate am all for playershare contributions etc but if sadly if its cheaper to book elsewhere then thats the reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Sorry mate am all for playershare contributions etc but if sadly if its cheaper to book elsewhere then thats the reality. You will usually get the same price as you'd find elsewhere. When that's the case, use PlayerShare WebShop and it gets money into the manager's squad budget. Sometimes a retailer on PlayerShare WebShop will offer a special deal - snap it up and Latics get the commission too. Sometimes a retailer not on PlayerShare WebShop has a better price and when you can get it cheaper elsewhere you should. I would. The airline industry is a particularly odd mix of commissions and kick backs. I don't know every retailers' price for every service and while encouraging people to use the link in my signature line I'm not making a promise of best value. There is, however, a handy "search" facility on the right hand side of the front page of the web site. While it's not perfect it does perform a price comparison for many products and services. All I ask, and will carry on asking, is that Latics fans look to use PlayerShare WebShop whenever possible and whenever it's right for them. And a big thanks to those that do!
