I am wondering if it is because I put not quite me details into the search engines so as not to muck up any future quidco.tcb if I go direct and they are doing some sort of generic id check against the CRAs?

I always put my correct details in and the quotes do vary from going through the comparison sites and going direct and sometimes when I go through cashback it has varied too. I normally take about 3 to 4 hours before I make a decision, also do it about a month before and save the results (they normally keep the quote "live" for 30 to 45 days)
I actually sign in to the comparison sites, so my quotes from the year before just need a tweak.

I forgot that some companies give discount if you have home insurance with them and vice-versa.

Works with any card

Yes well mine didn’t . Do you just place the phone on the pay thing and hope it goes beep or do you need to put the card in first please . I did both.

I was looking here

Some of them state they have “Mobile phone services”.

I wonder if this means they have contactless.

Car insurance. Last year 291 less 26 cashback = 265. This year renewal quote is 297 but search engines are coming back with £525 cheapest. Current provider won't even provide a quote. What is going on?

OMG that's my job for next week!

Anyone know of a cheap data sim for my mifi unit please. I was with the old T Mobile and I had 6 months internet for £20 . I don’t think they do it anymore though Thanks

How much data do you need ?

If you only need a little data, go for the Three free SIM, with 200MB free every month:

I picked up the Three MiFi unit from Currys last week, and cancelled the contract so no charge Just using the free SIM in the link for now to try it out.
