What a waste of money
My Mayday breakdown is due for renewal this month and I have already been sent the new documentation. Today I received an invitation from the CAMC to take out Mayday breakdown cover. It was individually addressed / posted, nothing else in the envelope. I wonder how many of these they have sent out to those who already have the cover and at what cost?☹️👎

I was also puzzled why I got one when I am a fully paid up member of Mayday?

But I didn't get one.
Perhaps they know I have full Green Flag Recovery Plus for £48 and an offer of MayDay Green Flag for £103 might not tempt me !

And example of the mindless waste of money plus other issues.
I have also just received a letter from the C&MC selling me “Mayday”.
That is understandable marketing if one has not got a policy, but we have.
So, the first reaction is what is wrong don't they know we are on board or have they cocked up our records; therefore need to check all is as we thought.Get through to be told after checking, all is well, it is just a blanket mail shot.
Have they no one smart enough to set the computer to only mail out to members who have not that cover?
What a waste of their, the Post Office, the phone network, Green Flags call centre staff and the environment's resources, plus our time and it is our subs as it is only us who picks up the final bill.
On top of that why distress their Mayday members who have cause to question if the records held are correct.0 -
It's called marketing....it happens because virtually every large company has allocated an amount of money to do it.
So, the marketing department do it!
The department has to spend all the money so that next year they can ask for more.
It's not particularly important how they spend the money as long as the number of contacts/services go up each year.
PS. Finally it helps to fill my blue bin which the council will empty in the morning......no marketing = no council jobs
PSS. Even the recycling jobs depend on it!

Isn't Greenflag an independent company ! , I pay my Mayday renewal fee to them not the CMC .
The CMC probably don't have any Mayday members details , after all Mayday membership isn't compulsory with the club's membership how should they know..........who's in or not👍

They are an independent company but they are selling the cover under the banner of the CAMC. Both names are on all the letters, booklets and membership cards. As they are using the CAMC name to sell their product and you have to be a CAMC member to apply, I don't see any data protection issues. However, I will report your post ( simply because I cannot report mine) and ask the CAMC to comment.

Good to get an acknowledgement thank you.
There's been an awful lot of communication via email lately - I've unsubscribe because of it.
This site is playing up again it wouldn't accept my post, I thought I'd been logged out whilst posting, how rude! but it wasn't so second attempt.
