Thanks for those stats! We have health insurance with AA which is underwritten by NIB. They are substantially cheaper than SC but have better terms for eg major surgery and cancer care, things we find important. We pay about $200 monthly for a family of four and it includes specialist care and has a $500 excess. SC for a similar plan was almost double.

But they must make up for the difference somehow. Do you have any explanation for this difference? I appreciate this is going off topic.

I just double checked the policy, and if I select the same amount of cover, additional items, Cove is about the same price as AA. So I won't be switching.

Oh, feel free to DM me your referral link, as I may sign up and I believe you'll get a discount then?

Just found out that on Feefo you can filter on people with claims. They don't seem to have recent reviews, but the rest looks pretty solid: https://www.feefo.com/en-GB/reviews/cove-insurance?withMedia=false&timeFrame=ALL&displayFeedbackType=SERVICE&team-tags=Claims

I don't mind going back to Reddit. While I like Lemmy, it still doesn't have the numbers & engagement as Reddit still has unfortunately. Thanks!

I've used Priceme to track prices for Chromebooks and worked well.

I've used Priceme, seems to be getting better. Pricespy has even disabled their login system in NZ as it's owned by a Scandinavian country.

I've recently bought Mad Max, so it's pretty good? Will start it soon!

I gave up after giving it a try four times. Just not for me. It gets raving reviews though.

Thanks, I've disabled the right click Win 11 menu on launch as it was terrible, missed a lot of functions, but good to know it's better now.

Well said. I always wonder why billionaires keep working. Your post explains it nicely.

Wow, nice. I make ice cream at home, perhaps will give this a try!
