I had major hassle to get mine. Insurance started 1st October and I claimed the same day. After the 60 days allowed for delivery I sent an email - no reply. I phoned and waited 10 minutes for a pick-up and was told no-one on that number could sort my problem. The number was given in the emails I had on registering for Nest Protect!! I ws promised I would get a call back that day. Never happened.
Eventually I wrote to a John Lewis Director (Name and address from Companies House) and then things started to happen.
I got an email saying it would be delivered in 5 days. It wasn't. The on the 6th day I got another email saying it was on its way and would arrive next day. It arrived two days later. My insurance only cost £95 and the Nest Protect value to me is £89, so they were probably hoping I'd forget!

Yeah I did register for it. just rang them and been told they have a shipment coming in next week, so hopefully it might arrive before the policy runs out :smile:

Me too, you can register for it straight away. You will get emails confirming with the order numbers etc.??

You did register for the NEST after you took out the policy didn't you. It won't get automatically sent out.

I want another one for downstairs now.

just wondering if anyone else has not received theirs yet. Insurance taken out on 30th Oct, have emailed and rung them twice, they then said it would be sent out 12 days ago (should arrive in 5 aoarently) and still no show!

Installed my mains one today, and also linked it up with my lights so the whole house lights up like a christmas tree if it senses danger!

Great deal, I love it lighting up the landing when I go for a pee in the middle of the night as well.

Excellent, thanks again,.

Ordered and started on the 3rd Oct.

Mine arrived today, easily fitted and working as expected. :smile:

As my policy is expiring next month I had a look on this deal. Unfortunately quotes from comparison websites are £80 cheaper than the one offered by John Levis. This makes the whole deal for me not worth a hassle.

Given the comments, I see that there are people for whom it worked like a charm so heat from me

The Nest Protect is for SPECIALIST Home Insurance, i.e. for a buy-to-let, holiday home, or something other than your main residence. I don't think you will get the Nest for your main residence.

my home insurance isn't due till next year. Can I get this early (renew for 2017) OR have two policies running at same time if price works out?

Top cash back tracked ,£46 within about 20 minutes.

how long did the quidco track take for people? Mine seems to have not tracked

Sorry I misread the Quidco blurb. You are correct.

Thank you - went through Compare the Market so also got the 2-4-1 cinema tickets for 12months + the alarm + they were substantially cheaper than my renewal quote - just hope they are good in the event of a claim!

Great deal, heat added.

Just reduced my insurance by £10 per month , Quidco + another Nest, Happy Days

I bought this policy (with the Nest) a month ago - missed the Quidco deal :-( The policy (for buildings and contents) was £110 cheaper, with better cover, than my renewal from Tesco, (Tesco renewal was £100 up from last year WITHOUT a claim). Phoned Tesco to cancel and the guy asked why I was cancelling (not happy with price) and what was my best price? Told him and he just said "Can't even attempt to beat that mate. I won't even try. Sorry to lose you though" (Nice to get an honest person on the phone for a change). Still waiting on Nest delivery but have had confirmation email of delivery. Heat added OP.

I just hope it's the 2nd gen hardware...

​Lol, yes it is! Just completed my quote and the form mentioned it's 2nd gen.


Cheers OP.

With the free Nest and cashback, I'll only be paying £25 for a year's contents insurance! Well happy! Thanks :smile:

Cheers op,I just took this policy out,£74 vhraper than my renewal , Quidco has tracked at £40 for buildings and contents and I've just completed the online form and had email confirmation for the nest.....it's a no brainer

Hi there, my dad took out the essentials policy and still received the nest protect. And yes you do get a choice between battery and wired :smiley:

Tried JL was 3 times the price of my quote from compare the market can buy a few nest protect.
So just be careful and get other quotes

Yep

not sure i understand the quidco cashback amounts.
£15 for Plus Cover Contents Insurance
£20 for Plus Cover Contents Insurance

or
£15 for Plus Cover Buildings & Contents Insurance

seems like you're getting seriously gypped on the cashback amount

Are you all getting an instant quote that you can purchase there and then?
I have completed the forms twice and each time I require a call back...

wonderful just got mine and cashbook, good post, very happy :smile:

The Nest Protect are excellent by the way.

It seems you ARE paying for the Nest protect in your premiums. Nothing is ever free...

I only just bought a new home insurance policy and am still within the 14 days fee-free cancellation period, so I was all set to cancel that one and get this John Lewis one, a nest protect to go with my nest thermostat! :smiley:

But then I did a quote and even the basic policy, with no home emergency cover and no legal cost £60 more than the L&G policy I got which DOES! The John Lewis policy that does have those protections is a full £300 more than the L&G one.

Not worth it for me.

Nice little deal find, was considering purchasing one of these so to get one for 'free' is a bonus.

Any idea if it's the battery, wired version or do you get a choice?

it says it on the Google page when you search John Lewis home insurance and also towards the end just before you buy :smile:

when is the 20% off taken?

I wonder whether it is worth getting an extra policy at lowest price just to get this.

I know there are different options with essentials being the lowest price. With the premier cover you get £80 so plus your free nest.

Thanks OP, will see if I qualify. I'm typing from my mobile - could I get a link to the terms and conditions of the offer?

Great if it works for you but the quote i got was 4 times what i am currently paying so think i will pass.

yep cashback just tracked at £30 for a contents only policy which would have cost £96 if I hadn't upgraded certain bits. this is a bit of a bargain if you're in the market for a smart fire alarm!

I've already had the email saying the cashback has tracked so all being well for you too :smiley:

Thanks for this, just ordered. If it helps you can choose contents and/or buildings insurance and still qualify for the Nest Protect. You can also choose between the wired and battery models. Delivery within 60 days. Fingers crossed Quidco tracks
