Case Study: How I make the most out of AIA Vitality

I’m actually a member of AIA Vitality, which I was able to join through my life insurer RAC. The program more than paid for itself on day 1, when I joined Virgin Active and was able to save 50% on my gym membership.

Since then, I’ve been trying to earn as many Vitality points as possible so I collect even more discounts and rewards. Just yesterday, a $20 JB Hi-Fi gift card hit my inbox just for taking a few online health questionnaires.

Not to mention the discount I get on my premiums.

Aside from the cost savings, there are the health benefits I’ve gotten by tracking my fitness levels in the app and taking that knowledge with me to the gym.

For me, the benefits are more than worth the cost.

How does the AIA Vitality program work?

After you purchase a participating life insurance policy, you’re automatically eligible to sign up for AIA Vitality.

1. Immediate discounts on your life insurance policy

Once you sign up, you’ll automatically get three things:

  • An immediate discount on your policy
  • Immediate access to a range of lifestyle rewards and discounts
  • Access to an online members hub where you can track your fitness levels and learn how to improve your health.

2. Extra rewards for staying active (Vitality points)

After signing up, the program encourages you to stay active by offering a point earning system to unlock more rewards:

  • ‘Vitality Points’ makes learning about your health fun. It feels like a game by letting you earn points for various fitness-related tasks like taking an online health assessment or getting a dental check up. The more points you earn, the higher your membership status becomes: you start out at bronze and can move up to silver, gold and platinum.
  • A great variety of rewards are offered. The higher your membership status becomes, the more rewards you can earn e.g. discount off Fitbit.
  • Ongoing premium discounts. Your initial premium discount is only temporary, and the only way to keep it is by earning enough points for gold status. If you haven’t reached gold, your discount gets reduced little by little every year. With gold status, your discount remains the same. With platinum status, your discount can actually increase.

3. Cool rewards for simply being a member

You'll get access to some automatic rewards for simply being a member:

  • 50% off Hoyts tickets
  • 25% off Fitbit
  • Discounts on gym memberships e.g. Fitness First, Anytime Fitness.

AIA Vitality points system

The AIA Vitality program uses a points system to encourage you to remain fit and active. The more points you earn, the higher your status becomes. And the higher your status becomes, the more rewards you can unlock.

Here’s how many points you need to reach each status:

  • Bronze. None. You start off at bronze just for joining.
  • Silver. 10,000 points.
  • Gold. 20,000 points.
  • Platinum. 30,000 points.

How can I earn points?

Points can be earned in two ways:

Knowing your health: In order to get healthier, you first have to know what your health status is and any risks you may be facing. Members can earn points by completing a number of educational health assessments, such as the mental wellbeing assessment, weight and height assessment, dental check up, or even receiving a flu vaccination.

Improving your health: The active steps you take to improve your health can entitle you to more reward points. Going to the gym, going for a walk or run and eating a healthy diet can all earn points. Discounts with partners like Weight Watchers, Anytime Fitness and Fitbit can also help you improve your health.

What benefits can members get from the AIA Vitality program?

The program provides a host of benefits to members. As people get healthier, earn AIA Vitality Points and build up their AIA Vitality Status, they get access to a range of lifestyle rewards in areas like travel, shopping and entertainment. You can enjoy discounted airline fares from Qantas, Myer gift cards, and cheap movie tickets from Hoyts.

The most substantial reward offered under AIA Vitality, however, is in the reduction of life insurance premiums.

How can I join the AIA Vitality program?

AIA doesn't sell insurance directly so you’ll have to go through one of their life insurance resellers or through a broker. Some health insurers also offer it. The life insurance resellers currently offering AIA membership are:

  • MaxLife
  • RACQ
  • RAC
  • Life Insurance Direct

Purchased a participating policy from one of these insurers, and wait for two emails to come through. One from your insurer containing your membership number and one from AIA Vitality that should arrive a day or two later.

Follow the link in the AIA email, which will lead you to the AIA Vitality registration page. Pop in your personal details and your life insurance policy membership number from the first email. Voila! You’re now enrolled in AIA Vitality and have access to all those sweet, sweet perks!
