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. Conditions are as follows:
Loyalty discounts are applied to any existing or new policies. 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.
Just like supermarket and airline 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.
Key features:
Most large insurance companies that offer a range of products will give you a discount when you take out more than one policy. Discounts start at around 5% and increase to about 15% for 10 or more policies.
Key features:
While life insurance policies might count towards discount eligibility, they may not be discounted themselves. For instance, if you take out life and car insurance with the same insurer, you might get a discount on the car insurance, but not necessarily on the life policy.
Businesses are treated separately for multi-policy discounts, so policies for a business cannot contribute to a discount for personal policies. However, a multi-policy discount can be combined with loyalty discounts, so you could get a total discount of up to 25% for 10 or more policies and a 25-year or longer relationship.
Couples or families who take out a policy together may be able to get a joint cover discount. As the cost of insuring a couple is less than for a single individual, you should get a discount when purchasing your policy.
Key features:
When taking out joint cover, additional discounts are based on the loyalty benefit of the policy member who has the longest relationship and most policies with the company. For instance, if one partner has held multiple policies for many years, then the loyalty and multi-policy discount for the joint policy will be calculated based on that person's discount eligibility. However, the other partner can include the joint policy for any future discount eligibility.
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.
Key features:
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.
Key features:
Regardless of any discounts available, you should always compare the prices and inclusions of of a range of policies before purchasing. There might be one that better suits your needs, even without a discount.
