Nope - I switched to RAC last year using Tesco vouchers, and renewed this year, also using Tesco vouchers. -- Kev

All you have to do is to remember to phone them to renew via Tesco CC when renewal time comes up but you'll get a letter from the RAC. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

Really? I'm on my fifth year of paying by Tesco clubcard points. I've not paid the RAC one penny. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

The RAC customers that pay full price. > You'll cover it next year and the next - its worth the RAC losing money > the first year to acquire a new customer - they'll then try to bung you > on monthly DD which will add up to more than the average price. You are obviously not speaking from experience, so why bother? They write and tell you that your policy is due for renewal and explain how to renew using clubcard vouchers again. Nor do they spam you with post or e-mail trying to sell you other stuff. It's an excellent system. MBQ
