    Still waiting for Norwich Union insurance cashback from more than a year ago via Quidco and Asda insurance cashback from last October via Topcashback. It's only a bargain if you actually get paid!!
  • Just did mine....was £216 with Post Office for mine and £423 with KwikFit for OH.....

    Admiral Multicar did both of them for a total of £379!!! Bargain!!!!

    I'll never understand where they get their figures from. I have a Citroen C4 and am 33 with 8 years no claims. Still get charged £350!!!!! I have 1 speeding conviction but thats it. I'm sure I paid less when I was 21.

    I'm pretty sure theres a cooling off period where you can cancel within 14 days. Check your policy terms and conditions or give them a ring.

    Yes, within the 14 day cooling off period. You can cancel within 14 days even if the policy has started but will be charged for the days of cover used. There might be an admin fee in any circumstance.

    My battered old focus went to the great scrapheap in the sky (£27 with 70 back from RAC via quidco back in feb). Now i'm with morethan with a more expensive new car which came in at £180 with £75 from quidco. Bit of a change but its a bigger more expensive car so I expected it.

    Is that £180 with £75 off or £180 before £75 off? Either way, still good!

    I saw a really good deal at The Co-op though Moneysupermarket.com and the total for my car the insurance was £355 .

    I've done the same search directly on Co-op site (as topcashback offers £75 cashback :j) and surprise: £450 :eek: :mad:

    I would like to buy the cheaper version through Moneysupermarket and also to use the Topcashback site but the site gives me the direct link to Co-op website where the insurance is £450.

    Any suggestion on how have both offers :confused:? Any help will do.

    Many thanks in advance
    Proud that I'm dealing with my debts

    Barclaycard - £5200 £3000 £2360:mad:
