Bought my first ACSI Card [MHF Link] this year and made extensive use of it, which certainly more than repaid the modest outlay.
Question: Will I receive a renewal notice for 2012 or do I go through application procedure again ? Is the CD option better than the book ?
If you are an ACSI user...what was your best stopover? Mine Camping Calpemar, Calpe, Spain.
For the avoidance of doubt regarding OP.
Do the ACSI People send out annual renewal invitation ? I am aware that CD is optional....is it a better option ?
No reminders sent out, they last for 1 calendar year. Cant comment on the CD option as we have never taken the CD option. Presume you would need a lappy with you to use it.
We have the database on our sat nav which was updated last year but I dont know the routine yet for updating it in future.
Sorry I cant help further

ACSI offer a free download of the GPS co-ordinates, which can be installed as pushpins on Autoroute. >>> Click here <<<. Download the Garmin ones. They come as .csv files which Autoroute will accept.
You have the best of both worlds then - the book to get the details and an accurate position of the campsites on the map.
All you need then is a GPS dongle!

I signed up for automatic 2 year renewal, so towards the end of this year I am expecting to get the 2012 book and card.
As I have posted before.........
1. The DVD covers ALL the sites on the ACSI database, and comes with comprehensive mapping and search facilities. BUT it does not show which sites offer the off-peak discounted prices. Yes, you will need your laptop or netbook.
2. The book, which is sold separately, covers ONLY the discount sites, and incorporates a "membership/ID" card which you will need to secure the discounted prices. Also included is a map, but it is pretty crowded in some areas and difficult to locate sites.
Most of the discount sites which we have used were very good, but some were dire - never to be visited again.
I signed up for the 2 year automatic renewal as its cheaper and the card pays for itself. I emailed them towards the end of december as I hadn't receive the book and card... then a few months later got sent a copy of the DVD as they hadn't replied to my email quick enough apparently...
I tend to use the website and wouldnt go out to buy the dvd but then I don't tour very much, if you were away it could be handy if you couldnt get internet connection
We have, this year, both the book and the cd. I find
Book : easier to flick back and forward between sites, for comparison and know these are the discount sites
CD has more sites as it includes those which don't offer discounts.
I personally prefer the book for searching/comparison
My favourite site I stayed on was without doubt Camping Baia Verde at Manerba del Garda
The worst one - not too bad all considered - was Camping Bagatelle Avignon. Not so much as not nice, just old and totally covered by trees, but the location, just opposite the Pont D'Avignon make up for it.
On our ten week trip, all the sites bar two I think were ACSI. Details of all these sites we stayed on are on the blog
The ACSI scheme is well worth the money.
