Just not useful

Just not useful. As I no longer drive the membership only offers a reduction in house insurance. Nothing else. Now LV seems to have been taken over I might as well just shop around for cheaper insurance. Boundless helped with insurance for many years but probably no longer.

Good discount with LV insurance

Good discount with LV insurance.
The magazine is now quite poor and does not offer many articles that I am interested in. It was originally a motoring magazine but there are few of these now.
Struggling to justify the subscription now it has increased again.

I felt that I did not get much out of my membership as few of the benefits are in North East Scotland. But I did use the Art Pass and Taste card when I was visiting other parts of the UK

Sadly rising costs

Having been a member for quite a few years, it's been really good value, up until recently. An increase in membership cost I can accept but reducing the free child spaces has made it unaffordable for me. I understand having upto five children free with a membership is excessive. But as a single parent to two, paying for a full child place adds to the costs over the year. A real shame there wasn't a compromise in between the two.

Thank you for being a member for so many years and for sharing your honest feedback. We're really sorry to hear that the recent changes have left you feeling that your membership is no longer as affordable as it once was.
We can completely understand your frustration, while membership costs increasing is one thing, we appreciate that the reduction in free child spaces has a direct impact on families like yours and can make a significant difference to the overall value you receive. It’s disappointing when you've enjoyed the benefits for years and now feel priced out of making the most of them.
Feedback like yours is incredibly important, and we'll make sure your comments are shared with the relevant team as they review our member benefits.
Thank you again for your loyalty and for taking the time to tell us how this has affected you. We're genuinely sorry for the disappointment this has caused.

Could do Better

I have been a member for many years and have appreciated the benefits that membership brings.
In recent years, we have moved most of our insurance policies away from LV= as they no longer give value for money. Not sure why Boundless have a partnership with them.
I have also paid for Boundless Plus, which includes basic cover for Britannia Rescue. I require greater cover and have to pay for a full policy with them. Hence, it feels like I'm paying twice for this.

Thank you for your many years of membership and for sharing your feedback. We're pleased you've enjoyed the benefits of being a member over the years. We understand your concerns about both the value of the insurance partnership and paying for additional Britannia Rescue cover when basic cover is already included with Boundless Plus. We appreciate your comments and will ensure they're shared with the relevant teams. Thank you for your continued support.

The distance is to a lot of events is to far for me

I live in the south of Cornwall which makes going to a lot of the event places a long way to travel but enjoy the benefits of Britania Rescue, which I've had to use a copuple of times.

Thank you for sharing your experience. While we appreciate that travelling from south Cornwall can make some of our offers less accessible, we're delighted that Britannia Rescue has provided you with real peace of mind when you've needed it most. Thank you for being a member, and we're glad you're enjoying this important benefit.

I wish I had joined long before I did. The money we have saved on entrance fees and holidays has been wonderful. I even got one of my photos in the magazine.
Highly recommend joining.

Breaking their contract.

When I subscribed to Boundless it enabled me to visit several Historical venues. I could visit, plus a partner or friend and 4 children. This was changed AFTER I had subscribed saying only me, the holder of the ticket and one child could visit. I felt Boundless had broken the contract it had made with me and they could not be trusted.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback we are sorry that you were impacted by the changes to the Historic Royal Palaces benefit.
The change to this benefit was necessary in order to continue our partnership with Historic Royal Palaces. As a charity, HRP relies heavily on funding and partnerships like ours to help maintain these historic sites.
We would like to invite you contact our Member Services team and we'll be very happy to discuss this further with you to help resolve your concerns as soon as possible. You can contact us at info@boundless.co.uk or by calling 0800 669 944.

Couldn’t contact breakdown services

Couldn’t , get through to the breakdown service,just kept timing out. In the end contacted Boundless and asked them to get the breakdown company to phone us, which they did, got told over 2 hours wait, managed to get the car started ourselves after 2 hours and before any recovery services arrived

Needs more emphasis on motoring.

I’ve been a member of the CSMA for decades and have seen their magazine transform from a periodical you would expect from a ‘Motoring Association’ to a container for travel advertisements and lifestyle advice. The last version of the magazine had 3 pages of motoring articles. I feel it needs to massively increase its content aimed specifically at motoring.
