How I made AA fold preflop

(1/2) > >>

APAThetic:
I received my AA (Auto. Assoc.) membership renewal notice for my old banger yesterday and it was a case of good news/bad news.

Good news: As I"ve been a member for over 2 years, I receive an upgrade to Silver Membership "at no extra cost".  :)

Bad news: I noticed my annual membership fee had increased by 32% (£90ish to £120ish).  >:(

I"ve just got vehicle specific cover for Roadside and Relay.

I phoned the renewal line and had a bit of a whinge. I mean, I"d be happy if my salary went up by 32% a year!

I explained that I only paid £90 last year and was not happy with the increase and the rep said "how does £70 sound?". Even my poker face cracked a little. I didn"t even get to the threatening to leave stage. How on earth they can they go from a £30 increase to a £20 reduction in 30 seconds.

Bottom line: AA cracked, 2 minute phone call +EV.

Make sure you guys keep an eye on them automatic renewals.

Hope they wasn"t bluffing, check your next bank statement. BTW having family in the industry, Greenflag FTW  :)

Thanks fandango. They should send me confirmation in writing within 7 days, so I"ve got a few weeks before they take the money.

Do Greenflag do cars over 10 years old? *cough*17 years*cough*

jayteejack:
Yep they do. I have a "96 bongo(N reg) covered fully no probs

Waz1892:
Works with home insurance too.

A shocking 72%* of people don"t bother to check the renewal and as you dont need to do anything to renew it just gets "filed"

I had a 54% increase (clearly trying it on) quick phone call, and I " qualify for a discount" frozen. Done.
