May Day Renewal

I agree with nellie and Dave WW. It certainly is not cheating. It is about time these companies started to reward loyalty a bit, rather than just be intent on special offers for brand new customers only.

I do the same with my Sky subscription from time to time and I am sure they can afford to give me the free months for my long term loyalty. 

Nellie hasn't done anything that hasn't been done before and he isn't the first to post on here that its been done. I'm sick of being loyal to companies who don't give a fig for your loyalty, so like others I'm quite happy to play their silly games. I have done it many a time playing one company off against another, there is always profit margins factored in so why not. Good on you Nellie 

Thanks all. Restored my confidence in CT's membership.

Just  don't  book  the  pitch  I  wanted  you  young  rascallywag  !!

Looking up the definition of "cheating" results in a long story but in broad terms cheating has characteristists of dishonesty, immorality or an any rate a lack of ethical behaviour. So the bar is set quite high. I see an analogy with taxation where high value individuals or corporations organise their affairs to minimise their tax liabilities within the tax rules. Such behaviour  will be defended by them as being entirely legitimate in accordance with te rules etc "we pay every penny that is due" . Whilst some or perhaps many would frown on such behaviour I doubt it is dishonest. How much less so is it for an individual using rules created and promoted by a supplier to their own best advantage. Rather this is exactly the sort of behaviour which large organisations pursue in the prosecution of their own affairs

I wouldn't dare.

Sorry it has nothing to do with loyalty. It would not be possible to do this with every renewal as the vouchers have to be paid for by Green flag. The idea that they give you one every year is simply not on as they would have to increase the premium to cover the cost. Basically they are giving the voucher to get you to join them. The idea is that they hope you will stay for a few years and in that time they can then cover the cost of the voucher. I know many companies abuse loyalty but the simple economics of this offer means that is not the problem. The advert does say new customers only and the idea of cancelling the old policy and taking a new one is just asbuing the system although perhaps Green Flags computer should be programmed to pick this up.
