Great to see the club are offering a free night voucher if you take up mayday....except renewals .

Where is the loyalty .

I will be looking elsewhere when my mayday expires this year.

    Yes.  Get the "new member" freebie somewhere else, then back next year for the Green Flag one!

    I would expect elsewhere but not here 

    It's a club apparently and not one of those awful commercial concerns.

    Or maybe the "club" has already become one of those cash generating type of establishments.

    The answer seems to be let the Mayday policy expire and a week later take a new policy out!

    The problem with moving to another provider is finding all the cover you need at less cost. The other similar policy through the C&CC is far more expensive.

    Our Mayday renewal docs arrived a few days ago, and the premium has gone up by £4, compared with a £2 rise last year, yet I'm pretty sure the rate of inflation has not doubled.  So I can only assume that part at least of the increase in my renewal premium
    is to fund the cost of free site night vouchers to new subscribers.

    I am told that there are some members who let their membership in club and mayday cover run out each year and renew in their spouses name.  the year after its reversed again, this way they get site vouchers due for new members every year. But what do they
    lose?   A plastic loyalty sticker every 5 years

    The premiums are based on claims payments and inflation is not a consideration when setting them. Claims costs do  not always follow inflation so the comparison is not viable.

    Insurers base premiums on claims costs and not inflation rates. Hese costs do not always follow inflation so the comparison is not viable.

    There may be an element of truth in that, but the money to pay for "free" site night vouchers has to come from somewhere.

    If a lot of people do that the offer will soon be lost.

    Surely there should be a loyalty incentive.

    Not how companies work I am afraid. Same with supermarkets our sons always use the same one and never get vouchers. As we are retired and have plenty of time we tend to shop around, and of course we are absent touring for several months. As a result we get loads of vouchers. It is not fair but it is how it works.

    An incentive that costs money will mean it has to go on the premium so you are probably better staying with what you get.

    We were out of the country for three weeks after our MayDay membership expired during February but renewed membership on our return in March.  There was no point in covering the time when we would not be using our motor vehicles.  We didn't receive a Site
    Night Voucher so I don't think your idea would work Tammygirl.

    We took out the Green Flag Premium UK breakdown cover on 1st March, it took several phone calls to get our membership cards to be sent out 5 weeks later and we are still waiting for the free site night voucher. They claim it has been sent and they cannot
    send a new one! I'm not sure what to believe, has anyone else had Theo's problem?

    WW, but isn't that what you advised on the 26th Feb.
