Bear in mind that this is one brand of insurance only, Big switch are not comparing it to others, just offering a discount on one brand.
The offers rotate over time depending on who they can make a discount deal with at the time, the same with fuel.
Interesting take on the main players though, I am not defending them but will pass my judgement on them with the current BP fuel deal.
Thanks for the feedback Hako.

Still waiting for mine Dave, holding off on getting more fuel until I get them, so hope they come soon.
I spoke to a lady on the local BP servo counter, she had never heard of Big Switch but said if they were BP cards they would be ok.

she was wrong, do not forget the clause that said 'only participant stations' so MAYBE her garage will not accept them.

We'll see what happens when we get the cards.
Shopper docket fuel discount vouchers are also "only for participating outlets" also.....

When in Denmark (WA) one of the local servo's would accept IGA coupons, but only those from the local IGA store.
(The main one, the other smaller one did not give fuel discount vouchers).

Hmmmm......according to this link delivery takes 4 weeks (after you have paid up front).
If you add up all those who pay to get the discounts cards etc, would make a nice bit of interest for them. Another way of making it pay I suppose, see;
It always pays to wait a while and see what happens with these sort of offers and as some bright person once said "if it sounds too good to be true it usually is" I am still waiting and watching and to date have not had any problems with BP fuel.

This is an email reply I got today regards waiting time;
Hi there,
Thanks for your email.
As BP are dispatching the cards we can't confirm when exactly you will receive the cards. They have informed us it can be up to 4 weeks due to the high demand however some cards have started arriving today. We do hope this cards arrive to you shortly and sincere apologies for the delay.

Members who were quick to snap up discounted BP fuel cards have begun receiving them in the mail. If your cards are yet to arrive, don't worry: there has been unprecedented demand and they are on their way. The current waiting time is 2 weeks from order to delivery, and is expected to shorten.....
