much easier to just upgrade your bank account or use your parents to insure it

such as http://www.natwest.com/personal/current-accounts/g1/select-silver-account.ashx

Protect your bubble only pay out when you've got no sort of warranty left on your device.

My ex threw his against a wall when he was drunk and ProtectYourBubble paid out.

Yeah they do pay out, know people who've damaged/lost theirs and they have been with them and got a new one with no problems.

I have always used my parents Natwest account, but I know many people who use Protectmybubble and say it's excellent service and really quick.

that's awful advice, legally insurance needs to be sold on need - so if i wanted bank insurance but nothing else from the upgraded reward account it's sold wrong.

Also, the level of cover offered on banks vary, some don't cover loss but cover theft, some don't cover liquid damage, some are so pernickity that if it was lost in a licensed premise or involving alcohol it's seen as undue care and attention.

they clearly make a profit, think it through.

im pretty sure its legal. and ofc they make a profit. the point of insurance is just in case!

An FSA regulated product has to be sold on the basis of need.
If you have cover already or don't see the full advantage of the product (Or in the case of multi-products on a rewards account it has to be the majority of products) then it shouldn't be sold to you.

It's FSA's regulations, brought in in 2012.
So no, you're completely wrong.

i need phone and holiday insurance incase something happens to my phone or i get injured on holiday. try tell me i dont

[Casanova]

I'm not saying YOU have been missold. I'm simply stating it's bad to recommend it because it might not suit him.
I haven't been on holiday for four years, don't drive... therefore I would only use the phone insurance my bank offers and it costs 12.95.

NOT VERY EFFECTIVE IS IT?
I'm saying as a product it's okay, but not a good idea to recommend.

I'd need to read through a ton of ****, I only know because our training was changed around their new rules for us selling insurance.
If you need proof research it yourself, it's highly unlikely I'd have proof... who would go home from work to check we're being told the right legal information.
