Hi Everyone,

I popped into Cannons last night to have a look around and it looked pretty good. I was going through the prices with a member of staff and she pointed out that you can get two levels of membership: full and part time.

Can anyone confirm whether the Pru Deal gives you full access to the Gym or if it's just part time membership?

Thank you!

To answer ny own question (if anybody cares ), my housemate phoned up the Pru last night. They said that yes, it is the FULL membership that you get when you join up

that is good news miamistu. Have to say am thinking about doing Virgin/LA but need to have a look around LA fitness and see if Virgin are worth the extra £15 a month

Well, I've finally bitten the bullet and sent off the application. Does anyone know how long it takes for it to get accepted?

edited: forget my previous question...it seems the £115 cashback + £100 JJB vouchers was an old offer.

I have a new question. It seems I can get the pru insurance directly thru Quidco (with £85 cashback) or through the Boots website (no quidco)

I also see on the Boots website that they mentionbenefits of the insurance include a free Boots health check, a free Boots eye exam and savings on a health screening. I did not see mention of these benefits on the main Pru website so was wondering if anyone knew if I could sign up thru the Pru website (to get the cashback) but then log into the boots site to claim the free tests??

cheeky I know...but this is MSE!!!

Recently notified by quidco that i will not get £115 cashback as Boots.com placed a cookie (when i visited their site for a comparison) on my computer that REDIRECTED me to their "pru" offer when i accessed Pru via Quidco. Total con:mad: I have complained to both Boots and Pru. Will update if/when i get response.

Not doubting Quidco will pay if referral tracked. My point is that Boots hijacked/redirected my quidco referral to THEIR link which my voided my cashback entitlement. Pru have told me they will investigate and reply within 5 days

I went through Quidco, and I only realised it was Boots when I got the confirmation email:eek:
Didn't track either, but sent in an enquiry back in Oct. No replies yet...
