    This is excellent - I am a member of the Fire Brigades Union and saw that UIA offer 15% discount for members - I was very impressed with the price of the quote given so have taken it up and therefore earned £30 of free vouchers! Hurrah! Thanks to OP for reminding me of this!

    The clerk asked me for a reference number and I said that I had put the leaflet in the recycling but that I had kept the details (including the word GARNET). She went ahead and did the quote with me but - because I am genuinely interested in a discounted house insurance - I disclosed that we had some subsidence in the past.

    This seemed to change the whole thing and she went through more stuff with me. She never said whether I would get the £10 shopping vouchers, well if she doesn't send them to me I am just not going to take her insurance, nyah nyah nyah!

    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
