WAYN.com introduces travel insurance deal
Social networking site WAYN.com is offering subscribers free travel insurance.
The UK site, which claims a membership base of more than 11 million and over six million unique visitors per month, will give European annual multi-trip insurance to its VIP members, who currently pay £3.99 a month for 12 months’ enhanced membership. For that they also receive free SMS and a priority online presence.
The site has teamed up with Mondial Assistance and for non-VIP members WAYN insurance packages are available with single trip cover within Europe from under £6. Annual multi-trip cover throughout Europe leads in at just under £24.
Following the UK introduction, WAYN insurance will now be added across Western Europe, North America and Australasia.
Director of business development at WAYN.com Matt Jerwood said: “Our users love travel and so we thought we should try to give a little back to those subscribing members who’ve helped to make WAYN such a vibrant community. What better way than to help reduce travel stress by providing them with high quality insurance, for free?â€
WAYN claims it is the first social networking site to offer free travel insurance and it’s certainly a clever move – it says that by providing one of the lowest price insurance offerings in the market; its aim is to feature at the top of results presented on leading search aggregators’ and price comparison websites, for both single-trip and multi-trip travel insurance products – a further traffic driver.
The site says traffic has grown significantly since it opened up its interaction model to all members, with new registrations now up to 20,000 per day.
