Egg free case of wine with life insurance

Fairwinds

Not sure if this is the right place, but egg are offering a free case of wine from Virgin Wines (cost £95) if you take out life insurance or critical illness cover before 1st November.

Looks like minimum premium (for me anyway) is £5 a month and could be cancelled after 1 month.

If you put in £1 and 1 year it'll tell you the minimum's.

I did something similar a while back (before I discovered) this place. That time it was using your isa allowance which I wasn't going to. I then took out two cash isa's ( me and my wife) with the minimum of £80 each. Got the two cases of wine and a few months later got got the £160 plus interest back .

Hope this helps someone

Do you think your alcohol dependency affects your cover :rotfl:


Nice spot might just do this.

Poppy9, you should be okay - drink all 12 bottles in one go if you want.

Double check you can cancel - but it does say so under the faq's and what happens if I stop paying

Poppy9

Bit old for all 12 bottles in one sitting now. :rolleyes:


I will have a good read and let you know what I decide.

Well spotted Number 6. There's always a catch somewhere. £60 outlay doesn't seem quite so attractive.

"reseve the right TO REQUEST a refund" does that mean we would have to give them one?

In theory a minimum £30 outlay...not really worth doing unless you want life assurance and its a competitive price...the wine isn't that good on the Virgin site ;-)

I did a search on other threads and this wine doesn't seem so free after all.
