Why would a non wizard customer be offered a better rate than is available to (previously) loyal customers?
Rates are sometimes better based on affiliation (i.e Costco & AAA). Like many preferred customers you have your companies discount code, which are pre negotiated rates.
If you find a cheaper rate online, don't apply your wizard number until you get to the counter, they you won't run into your preferred AWD overriding your current AWD.
