ACO Membership Card

[jpchenet]

I got my first ACO membership card through yesterday (thought I might as well join as the money saved on GA's means the card only costs 6 Euros for the year.....bargain!!)

On the second tab, there is a list of the events they hold and little circles. Would I be correct in thinking that these circles get marked off when you buy a discounted ticket for that particular race?

The reason I ask is I bought 6 discounted tickets at the time I joined (which I collected from the tourist board office at PQ's) but the card seems to be intact. Could I therefore buy another 6 tickets at the gate at the track, or do they cross refernece membership numbers??

Most years they have just punched holes in the card for each discount you get. Last year I got two cards though!!!

[jpchenet]

So as there are no holes in thsi one I should be able to get 6 more discounted tickets??

Excellent!!

My card hasn't been punched and I've had my full quota of discount from the ACO.

JPC, maybe I'm not understanding this fully (and after a few glasses of vin rouge who could blame me?)

Are you saying ther are designated areas on your card that look like they could be punched?

In my experience what happens is that your membership card gets punched through to indicate you have used the facilities of the Welcome centre (and maybe introduced a couple of friends too - as you are entitled to do). The punched holes just prevent any further opportunity to do this.

My card does not have the features you mention. If you have a scanner maybe you could post a picture?

My card last year was blue but htis year is a two part yellow card with little boxes to punch relevent to what you have recieved a discount on.

Will try to scan it later. Only just surfaced after my mates 40th last night....we didn't leave the casino 'til 4.30am so you could say it was a practice session for June.

Now have to head to Pompey my daughters b'day party at some indoor play zone.......................HELP!!!!!!!!

Couldn't even figure out how to fold mine. Must get the kids to have a look at it for me.
