6 Months free gym membership when you take out health insurance. Until 30 Nov

That means your premium is £18.87 per month

I have joined, got a quote for £18 - excellent coz holmes place costs £40 so that's more than a 50% saving. I have been moaning and moaning about wanting a treadmill for ages, so this is my way around that. Plus quidco has tracked, which is an added perk, ultimately means I may actually get paid £7 to have free health insurance and free gym for 6 months and if quidco doesn't track it's still 50% off and free health coverage. This is a fantastic deal, just waiting for the paperwork to come through, how long does that take? I joined on tuesday.

Thanks OP

Right, after my earlier post, went into the gym yesterday and filled in the forms etc then they let me ring Pru Health from the gym to activate it...

Anyway get this bloke on the phone and he says "Thats stragne, we have you down for the Mountain Bike offer..." even after ringing them on Wednesday asking about my gym membership and they didn't say anything about the mountain bike.....

Anyway the bloke then says he'll have to find out if i'm allowed the gym offer and will ring me back on Monday. What the hell do they have to do to check "if i'm allowed"!??!

Seems like terrible customer service to me, will be making a complaint when its all sorted out because I can't see the major problem in changing one offer to another....

The woman at the gym said that PH are always messing people around like this...

Thanks for the fast replies Meinnit and fatboyonadiet. That's me reassured!

Went to the gym at lunch and said I wanted to join. One girl gave me the standard form to fiull out while she got the right person for me to talk to. He came out, said it was the wrong form, then looked at it, asked me to put down the pruhealth ID no from my card on it, and said he had all the info he needed. Told me I could start using the gym straight away, and that he would sort everything out with Pruhealth! - Amazing customer service, I thought.

One thing. Meinnit, are you sure the policy has to be 12 months? - from their policy document:

"6.8 Cancellation
The Policyholder can end the Policy at any time by
writing to PruHealth. The Policy will come to an end
30 days after receipt of the letter.When a Policy
ends, the membership of the Policyholder and their
dependants will also end."

I'm hoping that means you can cancel everything (gym and health insurance) in the fifth month (giving both the gym and Pruhealth 30 days notice) and end up paying the 6 premiums for the insurance and the £25 introduction fee for the gym. This should mean my gym membership works out as (including Quidco rebate, fingers crossed) £23.22 - that'll be £3.87 a month!

If my cashback comes through okay, with the £25 joining fee i'll be a quid in the black! They're paying me to go to the gym! I remember the days a few years ago when I said I wouldn't join the gym if they paid me, and now look at me!
