What types of life insurance discounts and deals can I get?

Clock

Loyalty discounts

Loyalty discounts are offered by almost all insurers if you keep your insurance with the same provider for more than one year. Discounts start at 5% and can go up to about 15% when you stay for a significant period of time e.g. 25 years.

For joint policies, the discount is calculated based on the partner who has the longest existing relationship with the provider. Businesses are treated as a separate entity, so your personal insurance policies won't contribute to loyalty discounts for a business in your name.

Aeroplane

Rewards programs

Some life insurance products allow you to collect reward points. These programs allow you to accumulate discounts on life insurance payments or accumulate points towards other rewards programs e.g. frequent flyers.

Free tag

Free life insurance for first month

Some insurers offer free life insurance cover for the first month. You still have the same level of cover during the premium-free period, but payments aren't taken until the second month. In some instances, you will be refunded a months worth of cover after holding the policy for 12 months.

Hand holding money icon

Large-sum discounts

If you purchase a large amount of cover, you may get a further discount. These can be up to 30% for amounts over $500,000. Discounts range from roughly 10% for $300,000 to 30% on an insured sum of $500,000. They can be combined with other discounts such as joint policy, loyalty and multi-policy if applicable.

Couple

Multi-policy or joint discounts

Multi-policy discounts start at around 5% and increase to about 15% for 10 or more policies. Policies can be for the same or different types of cover for items such as cars, home, life and travel. To get the maximum discount you may need to hold policies for more than 25 years. Couples or families who take out a policy together may be able to get a joint cover discount as well.

Dumbell

Wellness programs

Some life insurance policies give you access to health and wellness programs such as the AIA Vitality Program. Members are rewarded with discounts from commercial partners as they earn Vitality points as their health improves. Additionally, participation in the program can result in discounts on life insurance premiums.
