Have been looking into this PRU healthclub deal recently, then as if by magic and email came through from Greasy Palm.co.uk offering £57.50 cashback if you join the scheme through them. So not only do you get the health club deal you also get over £57 to spend on a new pair of trainers!!!

Registering at greasy palm is easy and well worth the cash back...:beer:

Quidco are paying £115. Greasy Palms keep half of it for themselves.

Edit: Perhaps Sticky Palms would be a better name!

Does it matter if I already have private healthcover? It's through work and I won't be cancelling it but I don't want to invalidate it by buying pruhealth as well

for all those worrying about quidco tracking 00.00, it starts showing up as £115
when your policy starts. I just received my papers today (I applied on 31st August) and voila' quidco is showing my cashback for the 1st time!

So my advice: be patient.

Hi
Just signedup to Pru Health via quidco... I am a newbie to all of this so just letting you know what i did:

1.signed up to Quidco
2. clicked on the quidco pruhealth link when logged into quidco
3. got the cheapest quote from pruhealth 22 quid ( i am 31, 1000 excess, 3 hours and more exercise per week and hospitals in london and national)
4. took out the pru health insurance by going through the 4 step process which asked me for my diret debit details.
5. end

Observations:
During the quote and pruhealth insurance signup, nothing was mentioned regarding the gym membership. Also, I assume that the quidco tracking will happen automatically cos I clicked into the PruHealth site via quidco.


Questions:
1. what date should I cancel the pru health insurance? signup date+5 months ?
2. when should I contact Holmes place? ( by the way , i shall be attending the Cricklewood branch)
3. anything else I need to do?

Fingers Crossed... :T :T

Check the policy wording. Often, insurance policies say they won't payout if the loss is covered by another insurer. Not sure if health policies work this way.

I've often wondered what happens when there are two policies, both of which have this exclusion. Potentially, both could refuse to pay out. In practice, I assume this doesn't happen, but I doubt they both pay out the full loss.

Hi everyone,

Am a complete newbie, and was just about to sign up (yes, full priced!) to Holmes Place when I thought I'd see if there was anything on MSE about getting the most out of Gym memberships when I luckily stumbled across all this! :j

However -

I am a bit nervous about making sure it all goes through ok...

I did everything like this:

- Joined quidco
- Signed up to Pru Health for £16.27 pcm (I'm 22, out of London, non-smoker, etc. etc, £1000 excess)
- Received a confirmation email from Pru

I checked my Quidco account today, and there are TWO items being tracked for Pru Health...

BOTH are status = Tracked* (with a star like that)

Anyone know what this means and why?

Also, can more people confirm that they got their Quidco £115 back easily?

Mine says I should get the money back in October.

And, what are the next steps to take now for the Gym???

Do I just wait til I get my policy in the mail, so I don't call them and stuff things up??? How long did it take for people to get theirs in the mail?

Am sure by the T and C that its all OK for the free membership so long as I do activate it by the 28/11/06.

But am so nervous, don't want to stuff up!!!

Cheers!
Ems

Is it the same principle for the Boots voucher in that you can cancel your policy after 6 months?

No, If you cancel it in the first year you may have to pay it back.

The Quidco transaction wont show until your first direct debit has been paid.
