Tesco Car Ins
I previously put a query on here regarding Tescos car ins.
My initial quote came out at circa £179, seen the advert for £50 off;I redid the quote putting in the promotional code SHOP50 and club card number.Low
and behold the quote went up by £50 !!
I have just phoned Tesco Car Ins and they told me to use original quote and give them a ring with the club card number and they will send me the £50
of vouchers.
?is this bending the rules !!

For me the Post Office always get me the best quote for the cover I need. --- Strangely they get NU quotes below what NU quote directly !

I found exactly the same when renewing insurance for SWMBO's car plus adding 17-year old son 2 months after passing his test: PO gave an
acceptably not too outrageous quote for a NU policy.

Nu will return cheaper quotes through a panel insurer (Post office for example) as NU payout a cost per sale to various affiliates and aggregators.
This cost eprsale is as much a £90 in some instances, of which roughly 70% would go to the postoffice. The post office will hold onto some of this
dosh and the pass the rest into a saving to the customer.

Kinda explains why you can pocket these finders type fees by using sites such as quidco.com
Pay the same as you would if you got a quote direct you just click on a referral link associated back to your quidco account first, wait a few weeks
then pocket £50 to £125 for clicking on a link first...

A word of warning about NU. They are in the court listings in our local paper every fortnight with 20+ claims against them for non-payments. They lose
most of them, but would you want the hassle?
They quoted me £3.5k for the insurance on my Mk1 MR2 as well. Insane! Ended up costing under £400 with Flux
