    So, the advice is to find the cheapest deal, get cashback and at no stage consider whether the policy is any good?

    "Step 1: Combine the power of comparison sites. These zip your details to a host of insurers' and brokers' websites in seconds, scraping their data to report back the cheapest. No site lists every provider so the key is combining searches to give yourself the widest range in the least time to find the cheapest policy of those that contain your required cover"

    I suggest you read the article properly before making unsubstantiated claims.

    The MSE member who got the 96p cover arranged it through Swintons if my memory serves me right and that is 96p to much for one of their policies

    I 'suggest' that cover and service are two quite separate issues.

    I could quite easily name two companies who provide the same cover but vastly differing service.

    I suggest you chill out big letter man - get cashback on a swiftcover policy and see how it goes.

    Not sure what unsubstantiatamised means but fair play, its a long word.

    Would you mind if I adopted the name "big letter man"? I quite like it :D
