Wow taxi, that's absolutely incredible, well done!

Got to just let you know as well, in case you didn't realise/get chance to look at the Pigsback thread, you only get 40 points per week for the following quizzes:

The London quiz (just search for London on a Monday afternoon)
Toucan (ditto, search Toucan)
Where in the World (under the Travel Zone on a Monday afternoon)

The other daily quizzes, well you just have to hope you win for 1000 points. I've never won but I enter all the same.

What an excellent thread Taxi- well done you! You've inspired me to work out my own but not yet... my insurances all come up for renewal in April and my gym tie-in period also ends in April so I'm planning to make changes to all of them. But the tiniest of changes- i.e. doing the Pigback weekly quizzes for 40p a week and Quidco free click throughs- all help.

Don't forget you can change most insurances anytime. Not just when the renewal is due. A good point if companies are making special offers.

Don't they charge you an "admin" fee to cancel or change?

If the existing company (especially household insurance) tries to charge an admin fee tell the new insurer and often they will cover it.
