Google Nest Smoke Alarm

A few months ago John Lewis were giving a fee Google Nest Smoke Alarm away if you signed up to their home insurance. Unfortunately I wasn't due for renewal at the time and now the offer has ended.

I was just wondering if anyone was aware of any other insurers that are running a similar promotion? I'd really like a Google Nest, however if I could get one for free that would be even better :rotfl:

    Its not "FREE". Add the cost of the nest onto your premium and probably a bit extra to cover handling costs etc.

    Not happy with your "FREE" Echo?

    I already have an echo, I came across the Very offer whilst looking for one with a google nest so I thought I would share it in case it interested anyone else on here. Just because an offer doesn't suit you, doesn't mean that it wont suit someone else so is there really any need for the sarcastic responses!?

    It wasn't really sarcastic, it's a good warning given some people get sucked in and pay more on the premium for their 'free gift' than it would cost to buy the gift and get another policy elsewhere. That's the problem with recommending these offers, there's no way of knowing it's good or bad as everyone will get quoted differently.

    I perceived it to be sarcastic, but I guess that's the problem with things in writing, you cant always determine the tone.
