I bought my car insurance from the Meerkats last month.

Today, my free meerkat toy arrived....and it is very cool biggrin

I got Sergei!




They come on a little cardboard plinth, so will stand up.

He's now sitting in the lounge window, looking out, hopefully to the delight of people who walk past my house hehe


Anyone else got one?

I got the following email the other day:-

LOOKING FORWARDS TO MEETING YOU!

Dear Kentish;

I am arrived in United Kingdoms and I am very excite because I get to travel in Royal Mail - which I think is even more luxurious than business class!

They say it will take 7 working days (I think royal of her heiresses is not good at driving!)
You can still follow my travels from Meerkovo using the Toy Tracker on comparethemeerkat.com or visit the FAQses page if you have any questionings.

See you soon,

Postkat

I sold Alexander for £30 on eBay. Nice extra saving on my motorbike insurance smile

The values are going down though - they used to sell for £100 when they first came out.

yes

It was insane the money they used to fetch, would make it worth paying over the odds just to get one in some cases.

I reckon I have bought 3 insurance policies through Compare the Market since these came out and never been sent one. Very strange.

What!!?? yikes

I've been sent 4 - all of which have been passed to the mother in law who has a curious liking for them. Perhaps now I know why!!

Did you go back to the site and order them? When I did my car insurance through them last year I thought they sent them out automatically but when one didn't magically appear I assumed I'd used one of the other comparison sites. This time I read the instructions and went back after and filled an online form to confirm some details about who I'd insured with and got an email confirming my meerkat was on its way.

You have to request them separately, they don't just automatically send you them

I agree with this smart chap.

Sell it on ebay or chuck it in the bin.
