Well that’s just as I said except 30 days max at one marina not 28. Stay 30, leave for 1, come back for another 30. Then repeat.

Yes it's offering you double points, 28 instead of your normal 14. But they've also sent the email to berth holders who it doesn't apply to. We're at the point of checking out marinas around the Solent area.
Is that £650 a month until the end of March so winter rates? Our renewals come out in December, usually with a discount if paid before mid January, for contracts beginning April the 1st. When I've asked anything about prices before December I've been told they haven't been decided yet. I hope they don't plan to charge existing freedom berthers more than otium customers.In response to today's doubleTesco clubcardOtium points email I asked for a quote for their marina based in the North West corner of Chichester Harbour which including early upfront payment is £650/m.
If anybody can confirm how that stacks up against the prices for the existing 'freedom berthing' berth holders then I would be interested to know. By PM would be fine.

Decemeber last year the same marina quoted me £667/m (inc advanced payment discount) for a berth from Apr 20 - Apr 21.
So with Otium now having a new sweetner we should all hang on !!!
They might increase it again !! Dont blink yet !!! Marketing are panicking maybe !
Don't forget as well I think single night stays on Otium in other MDL marinas don't count for points.
Lets see if the contracts and pricing are different, cant see it being smooth as to date our marina is struggling with the credit given for Covid, god help those on Otium.
As MDL don't appear to publish a 'rate card' so maybe existing customers will be charged something different?
And they haven't thought about Cruising Club members who seemingly have to transfer to Otium (Odious?). The application needs to have an MDL marina specified, with no option for Visitor. MDL HQ advised me to select my nearest marina, although I don't of course ever go there, as it's only down the road from my home, non-MDL, marina. I do, however, visit more distant MDL marinas as a Cruising Club member (every seventh night free). The MDL marina that I specified then get in touch and say they can't progress my Otium application because they have no record of me being a berth holder there!
Sounds like an excellent use of this forum/thread would be to at least compare quotes.
Funny isn’t it. They claim to have spent a year on this scheme. Yet after a year what they have published is so much marketing bunkum and so little clarity that we can’t work out what the offer actually is.My reading of their 'calculator' was casual overnight berthing didn't attract any points so unless I become in need of boatyard services or a longer stay there seemed little point applying for a new card.

Have you met Tim NiceButDim? I can quite believe that he spent a year on it.
