Well done.
I'd had only 2-3 claims in over 20 years of AA membership membership and as they did with you, they tried it on with a massive price hike 3-4 years ago. Suffice it to say that the whole thing was handled very badly and in the end I cancelled my membership. I subsequently negotiated virtually equivalent cover with my car insurance at no extra cost on my premiums. My insurers were evidently more keen to keep my business than the AA were so offered the cover for nothing.
PS I can see why weenie Jnr. is excited.
