AA renewal reduced after phonecall

Moneybox

Renewal for AA inc. Relay and joint membership was due and they wanted £130! We took advamtage of an offer last year and didn't pay this, but do have a DB set up.

Phoned up an said no way. So not to get into a sales pitch simply said I am now covered with my car insurance (which I am not).

Lady reduced it to £77 and gave me the weekend to think about it! She did fumble a bit with her words and it seemed that they offer different discounts depending on your reason for leaving. Car insurance seems to give a good discount.

I've just had a letter through offering 75% off. What exactly are you paying for and ill see what it comes up as on my leaflet
Just checked and it says Relay joint is £32.63.
When you phone quote £75% offer, that should bring it down.

When taking out Car cover, ALWAYS use direct debit and then cancel once the direct debit is taken to stop them automatically renewing at full price.

And register it to a friend's address over 1/2 mile away to get free at home cover.


Joint AA roadside cover on line is £59 and then you get £19 quidco taking it down to £40.


With the RAC, basic Joint cover is £60 with £20 Quidco taking it down to £40.

Last year I rung to cancel the AA as the RAC were doing cover cheaper plus Quidco. The AA immediately matched the RAC price. Ok I didn't get the quidco but I am happy with the AA

No £29 plus a £20 M&S voucher back. Thats not the same as having £20 cash. You are committed to a £29 spend.

IF you sell the vouchers on ebay-it is

No it isnt. a) you wont get face value, b) you have to pay eBay fees, c) you have to pay to deliver it by a tracked service, and d) you have to pay Paypal fees.

hollydays

you can get more than face value

special delivery on a letter-hardly thousands of pounds,is it.
