?? Club Discounts??

Postby Gee0 » Sun 15.07.2007, 11:22

Hi

I have just taken out insurance with Adrain Flux and I told them I would be joining a club and was given the relevant discount, Do I need to join club lotus or does this club/forum count?

Thanks

I think you need to join Club Lotus, don't think lec would count unfortunately.

I don't see why not - LEF get a 15% discount.

I've e-mailed them to see if we can get something set up.

See my post above Mark. Like us, LEF don't charge for 'membership' and they are offered a 15% discount, so I hope it's just a case of formalising the arrangement for us to get a discount. I'll try the other insurers that LEF have arrangements with.

There was quite a bit of discussion on LEF about whether or not to charge or insist on a certain number of posts before people could see the discounts. They (wisely) decided to make them generally available and rely on people's conscience if they wanted to make a contribution to the forum having got a discount. [Kitty Fiddler hat on] :poke: :poke: :poke: [Kitty Fiddler hat off]:wink:

Geoff

PS If anyone has managed to get more than 15%, let me know! :wink:

Not a percentage as such, but the Pistonheads site (also free to access) gives a link to A-plan insurance - they were the best deal i could find for our circumstances - and they gave a bit off when PH was mentioned!

Similarly, SELOC is free to join, and they get deals all over the place (some are restricted to paying 'site supporters') but i think this could get unweildy to administer.

Geoff, I like your thoughts that people would be honest and throw a few quid in the kitty, but [cynical bit] that may not happen in every case[/cynical bit]. How easy is it to limit details to a thread which can't be accessed by guests, or 'one post wonders'? or details by PM?

Or (radical thought here), a system whereby the insurer will chuck a couple of quid in the pot whenever a policy is taken out and the purchaser benefits from a LEC discount.

Some good ideas there. Hope it works out. I don't see why not. I will let you know how I get on.

Similar thoughts went through Bib's mind but he went for minimal control.

I think the official tie up / limit to chosen few / official membership / fees = administration so no way thank you very much. There's been sufficient demonstration of brotherly love and Lotus nature (especially with the bigsi event) to convince me that zero admin was the way to go. If your friend and mine gets something out of it without contributing anything then what the hell - at least it gives us something else to moan about. :twisted:

Selcoc is free to join but you have to be a full paying member to see the discount page.

I do know someone who is though :wink:

676 - if you list all members alphabetically!

If this works then you've just pulled off a very useful tool :D

And if members don't know how to access the Memberlist and sort if alphabetically I'm going to be inundated with similar requests :twisted: ;-)

But surely this will change every time someone else joins?

Is it possible (better?) to sort chronologically in order of joining??

This would give a membership number of 1708!

Agreed, yeah, thinking about it, that would be better...and in my absence, all inquiries as to members' numbers will be fielded by Mr Pink!
