Compare the Market

If you’re in the UK, there’s an insurance comparison company called Compare the Market. The way they set themselves apart — because really, they’re all basically the same — is by having an actually-really-kind-of-good set of rewards schemes called Meerkat Movies and Meerkat Meals respectively. For the former, you can get two for one cinema tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays; for the latter, you can get two for one food at a fair number of restaurants, Sunday to Thursday. You get a year’s worth of access to both programs whenever you buy insurance through them.

Fortunately, it’s any kind of insurance that works. One day’s worth of travel insurance for a UK-based trip will set you back about £1.50, which means that you’re almost certainly going to save money by getting it as long as you use the program once in that year. I’m pretty sure it’s not how they intended it to be used, but I’ve saved a fortune (and still ended up getting my actual insurance with someone else).

Pro-tip: you don’t even have to buy the insurance. If you click to purchase it, it will register on your Compare The Market account that you’ve gone to the affiliated link. Then go back to CTM, click get rewards, type in the name of the company you “purchased” from, you’ll recieve the reward. No purchase is actually necessary, you just have to click it.

Hope this made sense.
