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.
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.

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.

We've never got a site night voucher when renewing our Mayday
think next time I'll let it lapse for a day or two.
If a lot of people do that the offer will soon be lost.
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.

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