Barclays Home Insurance & Quidco

Hi,
I've just got my insurance renewal from Barclays for buildings and contents.

The renewal is £216.

If I call them and tell them I don't want to renew, can I then take out another Barclays policy via Quidco and get £125 cash back?

If Barclays ask why I don't want to renew, sould I tell them I will be taking out the same policy via Quidco?

Cheers

    Hi,

    I did this back in Feb. I had contents and buildings with Barclays.

    I renewed my contents with Barclay and buildings with TSB to earn the extra commission. I cancelled my renewal and the lady saw my new policy and I got the impression she wasnot overly impressed. She said I shouldnot have done that and should have rang them to change existing cover only.

    Never mind £250 just validated in my accounts means only paid £55 for the year. This would fall down if I have to claim on both policys as two excesses instead of one.

    I may end up cancelling my TSB cover due to an error at there end, as they have not charged me and have not send the second set of documents.

    I will give them another week to sort it and take buildings with someone else who can get it right....

    Regards

    Barry

    So when you took out just one policy with Barclays Quidco tracked ok??

    I tried for an online quote and they will do my contents no problem but asked me to phone about the buildings, they'll cover me no problem but obviously I can only buy one online.

    Yep, Greasy Palm is £62.50 I think, but Quidco is a whopping £125! :-)
