Admiral car insurance refund on different card?

Hi

Quick question regarding getting a refund from admiral insurance after cancelling the policy.

I intend to change cars from a hatchback to an estate. I found that aviva is cheaper for the car I intend to buy. Also changing cars on your policy attracts a stupidly high premium it seems as they feel they can price gouge you.

So I would like to cancel the admiral policy and get refund. The credit card I paid with is on zero balance and I want to cancel that card soon ish.

I'm just curious, if I were to cancel the card will admiral refund to a different card or will they have to send me a cheque for the amount?

Whatever they decide their policy is.

Which could include not refunding. Though they probably will but charge £50ish cancellation fee. Is the new policy still cheaper taking that into account?

miles cheaper, although i'm looking for someone who has personal experience with this rather than someone stating the bleeding obvious "whatever they decide they want to do".

I would have phoned customer service but their original point of call are indian call centre who would probably be clueless dealing with anything out of their script.

I see this pointless comments too often in these boards. In fact their reply was worse than pointless because Admiral do refund the remaining months cover left for cancelling the cover.

In general they will only refund to the card that was used. I had a watch refund in January and it was to the card used or gift vouchers with the excuse used being money laundering rules.

Yes. This. I had Admiral insurance a while back and that's what they told me

Not sure how current this is but bottom of page 25 seems to corroborate.
