Hi does anyone pay a fee to this outfit, www.afpop.com, and if so are they worth the money? Thank you

I have a single membership and do not usually attend the social events as I work but find the information service very useful.

To me 80 euros is shocking, perhaps if it was 10 euros they would have 50 times the clients

Re: AFPOP
46€ a year is the renewal fee and yes I believe that the information they supply is worth it. Much of the info on the internet is absolute rubbish including a lot of postings on forums. An example is a post that say you just have to drive your car to Spain, buy petrol and come back to Portugal to keep it here for six more months!

Wife and I are members; mainly so we can get their group healthcare deal from Medal.
Got the afpop discount on a rental car, I also get a discount on my regular car insurance; that offsets some of the membership fee.

Re: AFPOP
The car insurance, if for example you are insured via Lusitania, have you actually tried getting a quote direct from them to see if it is more expensive? Medal is just an insurance broker/mediator so I fail to see how they can give more discount than any other mediator?! Although I stand to be corrected...
p.s Just having a look at the site and vice president of AFPOP is also the manager of Medal... biased much?!

Do you sell insurance?

Re: AFPOP
Medal has a group health insurance deal with Allianz. No, I can't prove anything.
All I can say is that we are members of AFPOP, and this is why. I believe it's a much better deal than they [Allianz] would give to an individual, but no, I can't prove that either.
The health cover has been working well for us so far; they have paid our claims without any complexities.
I like being part of AFPOP because if I do have a large insurance claim I'm more than just one customer. Being part of a group gives extra clout.

Re: AFPOP
Just a thought.. you never meant that as if to say I am asking this to benifit myself?
Just in case you did, I don't live anywhere near the Algarve and during the several years I have used this site, never once tried to advertise or get a customer through here! I have helped someone out with problems they had, no charge... just cause thats the kind of guy I am
