  I used to be a member and found that they would give you a driving credit to the amount of the membership fee if you threatened to cancel.

  Also I was not very eco-friendly and usually turned the heating or aircon up to max in order to use more fuel so I could get more Avios by filling up :p

  But the only time I booked an hour was to re-learn how to drive on a quiet Sunday morning as I hadn’t sat in a driver’s seat for 5 years after getting my licence… it takes an hour just to get going in London traffic… After that I only really used it for moving house and driving friends and family to/from LHR, there isn’t much else you can do, you are wasting money if you drive the car somewhere and then park it for the whole day while going about your business.

  I figured it would have been more useful if I lived outside London and needed to visit occasionally. So I looked into whether I could use it in Canada as a UK member, as you get 200km included which actually lets you go somewhere useful without paying extra, but it turned out that most of my family were members already, and they all love driving other people around all day.

  Anyone know if you can sign up for this and then cancel for a refund and keep the avios?

  I did the switch to Eon on a fixed deal in November and got my first bill a couple of weeks ago – at the bottom of the bill it offered me to switch again to their better tariff which I did – you don’t pay the exit fees for switching tariffs within Eon – only if you move company. Switching tariffs and companies appear on your credit searches I’ve discovered as I have a credit alert set up with Equifax.

    Yes I know that – I meant you could switch to a cheaper Eon tariff from the one you are on now without any penalty. i suppose it will lock you in again for a further year but I am ok with that as you are getting the cc points too.

  Zipcar was in my area of South East London until recently and they have been replaced by City Club Car.
  Not sure why the change from Zipcar.

    You will find that the council leased out the spaces to Zipcar and CCC presumably made a better offer. Even if Zipcar has a couple of parking spaces on private property, they would probably have pulled out anyway as you need a critical mass of cars in an area to attract members.

  Hi,

  Just trying to use the link posted to get £10 off the ZipCar joining fee plus £10 credit. Sadly, when I get through to the final screens, I get an error message saying that the code is not valid.

  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

  Thanks, Adam

    Very odd, that is a public offer, not targetted.
