Cyclone Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by Mo Well I've decided to renew at the basic level. I'm still annoyed though that a newcomer gets the same cover nearly £20 cheaper than an existing member you recognise that it's cheaper not to renew but you've done it anyway? I always phone them, tell them i'm not renewing, and then join again on the website. Although this year i've gone with the AA as it worked out cheaper for the joint option.

Mo Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by Cyclone you recognise that it's cheaper not to renew but you've done it anyway? I strongly suspect that there will be a clause preventing you from opting out and rejoining within a specific period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by Mo I strongly suspect that there will be a clause preventing you from opting out and rejoining within a specific period of time. I just told you that I do it every year. There is no such clause, and it probably wouldn't be legally enforceable if there were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by Mo Shame you didn't tell me that 5 days ago sorry. Oh well, you'll know for next year. Although presuming that you paid by credit card over the phone, you can cancel the service within 14 days at no cost to yourself (as long as you haven't called them out). Then join again tomorrow over the web (you get a web discount as well as new member discount). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 A fairly basic membership of the AA comes with my current account through Lloyds TSB. Whilst the monthly charge of £7 might seem quite high for a current account (there are other benefits), I soon benefitted from this 'perk' when, having driven through dense fog to York and having arrived in bright sunshine, I left my car lights on overnight. I called Membership Services and had an AA bloke out within the hour. This was within the first month of having upgraded my account, so I felt well pleased with this. But quite how extensive this cover is I don't know, not without consulting my account information, but I think as far as a 'perk' goes, it's a pretty good idea!

Get my AA cover "free" with the tsb also.This cover doesn't include homestart,but tell them the car is at the end of your road and they don't question it, used them a few times,so i have had my moneys worth, can't really fault the service either,they ring and send a text when they are on their way, giving you chance to finish your drink, leave the pub and return to your stricken vehicle (after consuming soft drinks naturally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B.Yaffle Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I always get cover for around £40 per year. I alternate between the AA and RAC each year in order to keep my yearly fee low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desy Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Was with Brittannia rescue got the 50% discount. Had a crash approximatley 1.5 miles away from homw the car would drive and the hazard lights worked. It cost me the discount just for them to escort me home with the trucks lights flashing.
