    I did try going on live chat and they were not budging they said they couldn't honour last Wednesdays quote. :(

    But I cleared all cookies as suggested and went through Moneysupermarket and got it bit cheaper same details still with Hastings. :eek:

    Original was £670 mark, had gone up to over £800 earlier starting today, changing to tomorrow before I cleared cookies brought it down to about £780.

    Finally got the quote down to about £750 and that is with both of us and her BF as named drivers for your info savvy. No idea if her BF put the price up any, he is over 25 but she wanted him to be insured as well just in case of emergency.

    DD is a bit miffed she won't get Meerkat movies etc. but hey ho c'est la vie. Once we got a lower quote I wasn't mucking around anymore just in case they started to go up again. :

    She is also bit disappointed she couldn't go and pick it up today too...

    Thanks everyone for the help, think I have gathered best time is about 3 weeks before to start looking!!
    It’s well documented on MSE that you can get a travel insurance policy costing little more than £1 to qualify for meerkat movies and meals.

    Thought I better log on to check my Nectar. I only have £20 I'm hoping to double up to £40. All ok.

    Have got 100 bonus when I next shop and 200 at a Sainsbob local. Wonder if these will combine?

    Just to be sure buy 2 things worth £1 each - last time I bought red label tea bags.
    Even better if you find something for £1 that is on GJ or shopimum or COS

    Hi SNS

    Nectar were really quick in sorting me out with a new account and restored all my points and an additional £10 worth immediately. I am astonished that they still haven’t overhauled the system to prevent this kind of fraud, as it must be costing them a fortune.

    Try not to worry about it.

    Thanks Shirley,

    Following your posts about losing your points I had already decided that I would spend all of mine in the forthcoming (hopefully) double up. Just hope it’s sorted out before then.

    Just checked OHs card and it’s ok. Better get them spent quick.

    Thanks Shirley, I hadn't really taken any notice before as it didn't interest me but I'll let DD know. :money:

    Ooh I just went on CoS to see what I had and didn't notice earlier free 8 pack cheese strings for me from Asda but only 1 day left :eek: It's one of those RRP special offers.

    And another RRP offer for Sainsbob is free pure dairy free sunflower spread 500g. :T
