We want to save money on normal everyday expenses, so we have some cash spare to spend on fun activities with the family.

Cheap £1 Meerkat Meals – One day travel insurance

Buying travel insurance is one of the qualifying products that can be rewarded with Meerkat Movies and Meerkat Meals.

You can pick up one-day travel insurance as a really easy and cheap way to earn Meerkat Movies and Meerkat Meals rewards.

Compare the Market has confirmed that this is covered as one of their qualifying products.

This whole process took me no more than 3 minutes and cost me just £1.05!

Head Compare the Market and start a quote for travel insurance.

Here’s what I chose for a cheap quote:

• Single trip
• In the United Kingdom
• Travelling in the next day or so
• As a solo traveller
• (Leave all the excesses alone)
• Choose no to preexisting medical conditions.

You’ll also need to add your name, date of birth and email.

Here’s a summary of what I chose:

With the click of a button, the site started to find quotes for me.

I was a little shocked that there were over 100 different options for me to choose from!

Then, within a few seconds, up popped my quotes.

The lowest one was just £1.05.

Usually, when buying insurance, I would check the details of the cover, what the excesses are and what’s not covered, but today I was just after the Meerkat rewards.

Just click through on the cheapest option, and you’ll go to the insurer’s site.

There you’ll need to add your details, verify it’s the cover you want and pay.

That’s it! Meerkat for £1.

On the flip side of the bargain, the most expensive of the insurers wanted to charge me a whopping £33.28 for a day’s worth of cover…!

However, if you need to get a quote for car, home or other insurance, you could use Compare the Market for that too. When we moved house recently, we got our quote and bought the insurance from them, giving us another 12 months of benefits.
