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.

How to use Meerkat Meals
Now that you’ve signed up, make sure to note your policy number. While you may need this if you actually need to claim, you need this number to set up your Movies and Meals rewards.
Download the Meerkat app, sign in and then set up your rewards using your new policy number.
You’ve then got access to Meerkat Meals and Movies for a whole 12 months.
I was able to set up the rewards within seconds of buying the travel insurance.
When it comes to using the Meerkat deal, you can search for a list of restaurants on a map or see them listed out.
Some will allow walks in, but you may need to book in advance – this is shown clearly on the app.
In terms of getting the 25% off discount on your meal, I’ve never needed to say anything when booking or ordering.
When it comes to paying for the meal, I simply open the app, click Rewards at the bottom of the app, select the restaurant you’re eating at, choose how many people were dining and show the QR code on your screen. The bill will be adjusted, and you’ll pay so much less!
