Hi all. For the last few years I've been using Tesco Clubcard vouchers to partially pay for RAC personnel cover. It works like this; for every £1 you have in vouchers the blurb says it's worth £3 towards your RAC membership. HOWEVER, what it doesn't tell you is that when using the scheme the RAC more than DOUBLE your premium!
Â
For example, in my case, my membership renewal premium came in at £180 and I had £30 saved up in vouchers, which would be worth £90 if spent using the scheme, thus leaving me £90 to pay. By my reckoning that works out at a personal cost to me of £120.
Â
Luckily last week an RAC guy was at my local supermarket and quoted me £80 all in for 'Advanced personal cover' which includes home start, unlimited call outs, any distance recovery plus some other stuff I won't bore you with.
Â
So I paid the guy his 80 quid, got better cover, and I've still got my £30 worth of vouchers!
Â
Caveat emptor guys.
Â
Riggers.
