Before cancelling - ask for retention offers

Research does not list specific retention discounts publicly, so ask the agent directly and request any offer in writing. If an agent makes an offer, get the reference number and save the written confirmation.

What cancelling saves - yearly math and cheapest alternative

Using the published plan prices:

• Anytime Smart Pass monthly: £8.99 x 12 = £107.88 per year.
• Anytime Smart Pass six-month price: £49.99 for six months implies £99.98 per year if renewed twice; listed six-month price is £49.99.
• Anytime Smart Pass annual: £89.99 per year.
• Midweek Smart Pass monthly: £3.99 x 12 = £47.88 per year.
• Midweek Smart Pass annual: £39.99 per year.

Savings examples:

• Switching from Anytime monthly (£8.99 x 12 = £107.88) to Anytime annual (£89.99) saves £17.89 per year (107.88 - 89.99 = £17.89).
• Switching from Anytime monthly (£107.88) to Midweek monthly (£47.88) saves £60.00 per year (107.88 - 47.88 = £60.00).
• Cheapest competitor listed in research: ASDA Delivery Pass at £3.95 monthly or £39.50 annual. Compared to Ocado Anytime annual £89.99, ASDA annual saves £50.49 (89.99 - 39.50 = £50.49).

Conclusion: If you want the lowest annual delivery pass cost, the ASDA Delivery Pass at £39.50 annual is the cheapest alternative named in research. If you prefer Ocado but lower cost, Midweek annual at £39.99 is £50.00 cheaper than Anytime monthly annualised.
