I can get a €200 discount every two years, but firstly, it doesn't stack; if you make a claim after four years, you'll only get €200. Secondly, the cost is €7.50 a month to be able to make the claim. That comes down to €180.

So, I would need to first pay €180, and then get new glasses every two years (which are *a lot* more expensive than €200), for a total 'savings' of €20. That's useless.
Have you looked into the Hans Anders Bril Totaal Plan. I have the two year "subscription", I pay €3 a month (if you sign up now it's €3,50 a month) and I can go pick out new glasses every two years. I need extra thin lenses and normally that makes my glasses very expensive (over €200) but the extra thin glasses are included in the subscription. Extras such as special coatings and brand name frames you have to pay extra for, but it's still a lot cheaper than I would normally pay.
