    Not sure if they still do it but if you get a quote and wait a week or two they keep increasing the gift card amount. Mine went from $40 to $50 to $70 before I went through with it.

      thanks for sharing!
      now we play the waiting game

    • dajackal on 03/07/2020 - 13:02

      Where can the gift card be redeemed?

      • 2enjoy on 03/07/2020 - 13:22

        that’s the part i couldn’t find..

    • sparemywallet on 03/07/2020 - 13:33

      I got the email redemption offer next day from budget to get the $60 after getting some quotes day before

  • roozmik on 03/07/2020 - 11:04

    Shouldn't the title say this is Targeted?

    • Whisper Quiet on 03/07/2020 - 11:13

      The description does say if you get a quote from them and purchase it, they will give you a gift card. I did a quote from them and got offered it. So I don't know why it would need to be targeted. It's automatic when you get a quote.

        Ah ok. In the T&C's it says:

        Eligibility and Participation

        b. be an existing customer of the Promoter and receive via letter or email an invitation to participate in the Promotion;

        But if it works for you it works I guess.

  • Qtip on 03/07/2020 - 11:40

    I signed up and never received my $60

    • Kdw26488 on 03/07/2020 - 11:44

      Has the cooling off period passed ?

      Interesting I just paid in full on the 30th and I expect to receive this offer from budget

      • Kdw26488 on 03/07/2020 - 13:23

        Edit: just for clarity, couldn’t edit my original post

        ①
        Click 'Redeem Offer'.
        ②
        Buy Gold Comprehensive Insurance online.
        ③
        Pass the 21 day cooling-off period.

        You'll receive your eGift Card within 30 days of passing the cooling-off period.

        They are cheeky. Basically it’s up to a 51 day wait for the gift card.

    In the market for a home and contents policy. What's the best way to determine which policy is best? I know of Canstar which rates Budget Direct 5 stars for home and contents insurance. Any other such websites?

      main thing to watch for is things like flood cover. are you in a location that might flood? that will restrict you, otherwise they all generally cover the same stuff

      Depending on the underwriter, the cost can greatly vary. The ease is claiming as well, with the budget ones making it much harder. I'm with RAC and they're great yet affordable.

  • Elias11 on 03/07/2020 - 11:52

    Bear in mind, making a claim with Budget is VERY time consuming.
    They ask for every paperwork, police records, receipts, etc..

    It is not worth the cheaper rate compared to other insurers where they take over and do everything for you.
    Especially when you have to be placed in temp accommodation due to fire, flood, etc..

    • Chicken feed on 03/07/2020 - 11:53

      Then what your recommendation? Currently with Allianz and they are charging more every year.

      • Elias11 on 03/07/2020 - 12:08

        I was with CGU (part of strata) they are average priced and good to deal with but they didn't cover discoverable plumbing (we had a water leak, and needed to demo few brick wall spots to find the leak, they wouldn't cover the brick repair)

        Keep in mind, suburb performance affects it, example: thefts, flooding, fire prone area.
        Also age and construction of the dwelling is a big one with pricing.
        I recommend to get a quote from multiple ones then look at the PDS for what they cover and what they don't.
        Like emergency accommodation, what is part of contents insurance, what is part of home insurance, etc..

        I'd break it down to an example like what happens if my house catches fire, does insurance cover emergency accommodation, repairs to the house, replace the contents? to what values?
        If house is flooded, do they provide emergency accommodation, repair subfloor, replace furniture etc..

    • No on 03/07/2020 - 12:10

      I had to make a claim after a car accident. I couldn't fault budget direct apart from a long hold time to speak to the claims dept & you have to use their repairer, although they did a good job.

  • punkel on 03/07/2020 - 12:04

    Don't you mean they add $40 to your premium, then you get $40 gift card back as a reward

    Any one heard about poncho insurance for car, ran by IAG and started this year. It seems very cheap(from 110/ month with budget to 55/month). If all companies are difficult to deal on claims, they why pay more for insurance. Just a thought,and need your input.

  • PissLUR on 03/07/2020 - 12:50

    is it bingle or budget direct that only do a market price for comprehensive car insurance? thats how they will rip you off later..

  • dajackal on 03/07/2020 - 13:01

    Where can the gift card be redeemed?

  • perfectlydark on 03/07/2020 - 13:27

    do you have to go through this link? cause i signed up with Budget as a new customer a few weeks ago with my policy to commence later this month
