Breakdown Saving

Options
My first haggle (and on the phone and I hate phones).

It went like this:

Got my renewal for the AA and I really like being with them, £46.50 for breakdown for a year.

Checked the website: Basic cover £31.85 after 20% off, Hmmmm
Checked RAC: £32.35, Checked GEM £33, Hmmm, the plot thickens.

Spoke to very nice man at the AA "I want to cancel please, RAC and GEM are mucho cheaper at £32.35 and £33" (no, please I really don't wanna cancel).

"Okay, we can renew you at £39.35 and 1000 Nectar points"

So, saved £7.15 and got £5 off shopping at Sainsbury's, renewal now £34.35!
And I don't need to leave the AA, same level of cover and everything.

I am so pleased with myself I am gonna tell the world (I know its just a little saving, but every penny counts)

:D:D:D
Thanks!! :D:D:D

    It goes to show that unless you ask you just dont know. The market is so competative now that companies need your custom not vice versa.

    Well done! :beer:

    We haggled with the buildings insurance. Found a cheaper quote online. Told our insurer that we wouldnt be renewing at the end of the month and they price matched it - RESULT!

    Do you have any more details of this offer. Is it open to all? Is there a code to quote? It sounds like an excellent deal.
