Get FREE Breakdown, Home Emergency & Personal Accident Cover!

Tightbloke

Hi all. New here.

Thought I'd share with you a nugget I have unearthed.

Swinton offered me 3 months free Breakdown, Home Emergency & Personal Accident cover when I switched my car & home insurance to them.

I was a bit sceptical at first but reluctantly took them out. I got UK & Home Breakdown Cover, Personal Accident Cover for the whole family & "Gold" Home Emergency Cover with the sales person promising me I'd receive a letter just before the free period ended.

Sure enough the letter came reminding me I'd need to start paying £7.99, £13.99 & £6.99 per month for the relevant policies shortly.

At this point I called the number on the letter and cancelled the lot from the end of the free period. No problems at all.

2 weeks after the policies ended I changed my car and spoke to Swinton. To my amazement they offered me the same policies again for 3 months free! I said to the chap on the phone I'd already had the offer that ended a couple of weeks back. To my surprise he said I could have the same offer again?!

I did the same 2nd time around except this time the day after the free period ended I called Swinton and got the free offer again! Their staff have confirmed I am doing nothing wrong!

I have done this FIVE times now and have received 16 months of cover FREE so far!

Ok, it's a small hassle to phone every 3 months to cancel then reset them up but the number is 0800 (so free) and I get through within 2 or 3 minutes every time!

I will keep doing the same until I get told otherwise!

I have so far used the breakdown service once and they were excellent, turning up within 25 mins!

And even better news is you don't even have to hold car or home insurance etc to get these offers - they are open to anyone!

Thanks Swinton!

Gold dust this!

Love this comment!!
I work for swinton and I wish that more of our customers realised this fantastic offer! We offer our monthly products with the first three months free, and people think its a con! It isnt. All three products are amazing and really are good cover, and if they are cancelled at any time whether within the first three months of cover or afterwards, you will be eligible to reset them up with the three months free cover again! So call your local branches and let the executives take you through the products, its would be a refreshing change for people to take the products on face value- the Breakdown is brilliant, the home emergency saves so much against home serve etc, and the personal accident is amazing for holiday periods!

Explain myself.... ok then
The personal accident cover covers you worldwide. it gives you an accidental death payout of £60,000 on death, as well as having a hospitalisation payment of £150 per day. It is a little bit of peace of mind whilst you are traveling.

I wonder if Swinton will send me all your personal details also.

They sent me someones insurance forms with their work, bank, phone details.

And nope not a mixup with the wrong envelope i am not a customer of them.
