Meerkat Trick: Spend £1ish to Get 2for1 at Cinemas and Restaurants for a Year

Meerkat Movies gets you 2for1 at cinemas and now restaurants too FOR A YEAR when you buy via comparison website Compare The Market.

And there is a trick to get it for £1ish...

The T&Cs state you'll be eligible for both for 12 months as long as:

You purchase any of the following insurance – car, motorcycle, van, contents and/or buildings, pet, life, landlord or travel insurance.

OR you switch any of the following – domestic energy (gas and/or electric), broadband, home telephone or digital TV.

OR you successfully apply for – a credit card or loan or mobile phone contract.

Car and home insurance were too pricey – there are better rewards and cashback offers available elsewhere. So we homed in on travel insurance.

So, one night’s UK cover for one person does the job. Do a quick search on Compare The Market* for a single-trip travel insurance policy.

The cheapest quotes when we last tried it on Thu 18 Apr:

£1.01 – TravelInsurance.co.uk ‘Super Saver’ (1-2 Sep)

£1.01 – ERV ‘Lite’ (1-2 Sep)

At these prices, the insurance is far cheaper than the price of a second cinema ticket or a second main course, so in most cases you'll save even if you use it once.

Do bear in mind the year's membership begins from the date you made a purchase, and you can only have one active membership. If you make any subsequent purchases during the 12 months, it'll reset the clock - so you never get more than 12 months.
