I always try to get my insurance, whatever type, through a cashback site. Having checked on a comparison site for SWMBO'S Jazz insurance, Admiral came up second cheapest to Saga by a fiver, however on Topcashback their cashback was listed as about double, so....armed with the figure from the comparison site, I input the exact same details on Admiral via Topcashback, and, surprise surprise, the figure quoted was almost exactly the the original figure PLUS the expected cashback. It seems they've now cottoned on to us cheapskates, and just hope to suck us in with a large 'cashback' carrot. Glad I did my homework, as Saga, even though a lower cashback rate, still worked out cheaper in the end, as their cashback quote was the same as the comparison site.

Yup, thats frequently been the case.

Remember, things like car insurance is pretty competitive, so they have little margin to play with

I think they try it on sometimes tho' .....

When I had 4 cars all on taxi insurance with the same company...

1st car Vectra LPG £800/year, insured fully comp with me and one named driver
2nd car Vectra LPG £800/year, insured fully comp with me and one named driver
3rd car Merc 220D £800/year, insured fully comp with me and one named driver

They sent the renewal for my Omega through ... £1200 .. so I phoned them up....and asked why so high...they asked me what id like the premium to be....I said how about £800, same as the rest.....put on hold for a few mins....then yep £800 is fine....

So they suddenly found a reduction of £400 ......

I think they've definitely got smarter, I've had about £60 cashback for each of the last three years, from eventually, Sheila's Wheels, then DirectLine, last year the Co-op which has taken 11 months to pay out!
