Not always, you have to decide if the company will still be around. Past
performance is no guarantee of future performance. Read the terms and
conditions over again and make sure there is no doubt as to what to do to
claim. They are written in a certain way and lots of tricks and scams are
used to prevent a pay-out.
Make sure you can afford the full costs as you might not get a penny.
Get the right deal and you will save, but is it worth the risk!
