Money and resources wasted by the Club

IMHO, no. Firstly is it the club? Secondly the club has to make money, it's a business not a green party offshoot (pun intended)

Come on chaps, just keep receiving the mail and keep the posties in a job.

I expect it is because if you automatically review without shopping around they make a whole heap of money out of you so it’s worth a few mail shots. When I am with the AA I usually switch to RAC at renewal time because there are so many offers you can get half the price or less. Just like insurance.

You seemed to have missed two points:

1) I am referring to unnecessary information being sent to members who already are using Mayday so the Club will make no more money from them!

2) More importantly, this is a waste of money and resources. You seem to imply that businesses have no need to  be bothered about the earth's resources and waste of materials.

This is not only a concern for members of  "The Green Party"  (of which I am not a member.) Many individuals are concerned about overuse and unnecessary use of materials. It is unfortunate that some individuals and businesses are not.

I got one of these letters about a month agao and just binned it.  This week I got another so I though maybe there is a cock up and I am not enroled with the Green Mayday Flag anymore so I phoned them up.

Apparently these are all sent out by The Caravan Club who get a fee for introducing new customers to Green Flag.

Also interesting was a all the "security questions" I was asked by Green Flag to prove who I was They were fishing for information that they do not have.

Instead of putting the letter in the recycling bin why not pop it back in the post with  "Refused. Return to sender." 

I sent them an e-mail as follows

Today I received a letter from David Smith, Product Manager Insurance and Financial Services telling me all about Tailor Made Cover for me.

Please advise Mr Smith that I ALREADY HAVE COVER WITH MAYDAY  and not to waste the monies that I pay into the club telling me about something I already have. Get someone in IT to sort out your mail-merge so that money is not wasted in broad pepper pot mail shots but are targeted at those members who do not have cover with Mayday.

This is a waste of resources and as such is a source of annoyance.

I agree the club is wasting resources and causing annoyance.

Why not opt out so you won’t be stressed by it again, WCC?

Why not include the mail shot with the Magazine-no extra postage and after all they include all sort of useless things already.

Whilst I appreciate that, that suggestion might sound sensible I expect the marketing department probably know that a direct approach dealing with one subject gets the best results. Very often the address flyer in the magazine promotes the CMC services including breakdown but that is obviously considered not as successful as a direct mail distribution.
