Sun Superdays Q&A
How do I get my two free tickets with Superdays?
There are two ways to get your two free tickets to Merlin attractions. You can either collect nine Sun Savers codes or collect ten paper tokens. However, Sun Savers is the quickest way to book and the only way you can pick your dates for all our Superdays deals for the first time ever.
What is Sun Savers?
Sun Savers is our new rewards club. It only takes a few minutes to register – we only need your name, date of birth and email address to get started. To register, download the Sun Savers app or go online at sunsavers.co.uk.
Sun Savers gives you free cash for buying the paper. Just pick up the paper each day to collect Sun Savers codes. Each paper has a unique code, found on the Sun Savers page. Once you have collected 28 codes by scanning them in the app or entering them at sunsavers.co.uk, we will give you £5 cash. Plus, there are extra benefits such as early access to Superdays and picking your dates.
Can I pick a specific date?
For the first time you can pick your dates – only with Sun Savers (subject to availability). £1.50 booking fee applies. If you book by post you must select five date bands in order of preference and will be randomly allocated a date for one specific day within your date band.
Can I change my dates?
Once your date has been allocated to you, you will not be able to exchange your tickets or use them on any other date under any circumstances.
How will I receive my tickets?
If applying via Sun Savers you will receive your tickets as e-tickets (e-tickets are tickets sent via email to the address specified when booking). E-tickets can be printed or shown at the attraction via your mobile phone. If applying by post you will receive physical paper tickets
‘It was a great way to enjoy my birthday’
THOUSANDS of our readers have taken advantage of our two free tickets offer with Superdays.
This deal has proved a huge hit with families up and down the country, who have had an unforgettable time at the UK’s top attractions.
Matthew Sabin, from Birmingham, celebrated his birthday at Alton Towers Resort with his HR advisor fiancée Steph Coffey, 30, thanks to Sun Superdays.
The 29-year-old plumber said: “Steph and I loved Alton Towers. We’re getting married in May this year so any way we can save money is helpful.
“The more affordable, the better – and Sun Superdays makes it so much easier.
“We were living with my parents at the time of our trip to Alton Towers, so it was great to go there and give them – and us – a bit of a break. I had a brilliant time. The real highlight was that there were no queues. When you visit normally, you only get to go on a handful of rides because of all the queueing, but when Steph and I went we had the pick of the park.
“It was great, we got to go on every ride at least twice, it was so much fun. I liked Nemesis, but Oblivion was too big for me. I let Steph brave that one, instead – I offered to hold the bags!
“Overall it was a great way to celebrate my birthday. Steph and I try to do the Superdays whenever we’re free.
“We usually stay in the Splash hotel and get discounted tickets the next day too. It’s a really affordable option for having such a fun weekend away, plus you get half an hour in the park before it opens.
“We’ll definitely be collecting more Sun Superdays codes again. It’s a great excuse to take some time off and enjoy some quality time together.”
Fancy a free fiver?
YOU can get FREE cash with super Sun Savers just for buying your favourite paper.
Our brilliant new rewards club will pay back our most loyal readers.
Just pick up the paper each day to collect your Sun Savers codes and we will GIVE YOU £5 when you have collected 28.
This isn’t a one-off and there is no limit to how much cash you can save.
For every 28 codes you enter, we will give you a fiver. So over the course of a year, that could add up to £65.
We are keeping it super-simple. You don’t have to enter codes from consecutive days, so don’t worry if you forget a day or two.
