Just got the email. Basically you can a $100 Gift card if you hold Family Life Cover for 40 days after first premium is paid so make sure you ask them to deduct it immediately

Make sure you ask for Real Family Life Cover with $100k Cover

Basically sign up and cancel after 40 days

Mine was $4.22 a fortnight and i asked for the premium to be deducted right away. SO for ~ $13, you get a $100 eftpos gift card which is a good deal IMHO

There is also a 30 day cooling off period.

You do have to call them but takes 10 min for it all to be set up. Dont bother leaving them a message via the website as it might take some time.

In summary

Steps:

Call 1300 669 752
Ask for Real Family Life Cover
Request the $100k Cover
Request Premium to be deducted immediately
Set reminder for 40 days from confirmation of date of premium deduction
Cancel after 40 days
Wait for your $100 eftpos card via Mail

Enjoy

Basically, you end up paying $109.72 for 1 year and got $100 back as giftcard

  cancel after 40 days so its $13 for a $100 card for me for 10 min work. Why not
  
  I did this with the coles life insurance offer and got 20000 Flybuy points equal to $100 and it cost me $10
  
  Make sure you put in a reminder though at 40 days
  - bashar20 on 25/03/2015 - 14:44

      @nick286:
      Because his weekly fortnight charge is $4.22. That times 3 is $12.66, and I would imagine he wanted to make sure it would be 40 days which is a bit over 5 weeks (right between 2 and three fortnights)

      @easternculture:
      
      Remember to cancel the insurance though because it's basically a horrible company to deal with if you have a claim to make, one of the reasons they have to offer deals like these.
      
      They were also the chosen partner for insurance in Amway and other such companies,
      
      In general horrible company but a good deal if you are sure you;ll cancel in 40 Days.

    Do you mean getting a credit card with bonus rewards points and then cancelling?
    
    That may be a little different as the bank/card company will expect people to just get the points and cancel and yet they don't do anything to stop them.
    
    Not saying that it is morally wrong but just that I'm not sure how I feel about it.
    - bargain_knight on 25/03/2015 - 15:08
      
      It's cheaper for you to buy directly from them than for them to pay an adviser commission. Life insurance is sold not bought, so this is very cheap for them. Plus their premiums are ridiculously high (compare them to the premiums you pay through super- like for like). Effectively the premium is almost 100% profit for them after a few months. If 50% of people stick they are still well ahead.
      
      Also it is not someone who doesn't understand what they are doing introducing this deal. They know what they are doing, they just hope there are people up there who don't cancel their insurance. They will make it very difficult to cancel, i.e. will try talk you down.
      
      So in short, don't feel sorry for this mob, just enjoy your money as you do need to do some work for it.

The real bargain would be to take out the insurance, get the gift card, then fake your death :)
Payout, $100 gift card, and you dont even have to call up to cancel the policy.
It's a foolproof winwin situation

I'm really torn about whether to jump into this. It sounds like it would be extremely easy to sign up for but harder to cancel than a Fitness First membership (which I had to cancel my CC to get out of!)

  Based on experience (AMEX), cancelling CC alone will not stop a company for being able to still charge on your cancelled CC. Of course you can dispute to have the charges reversed, but it's a PITA.

Be aware of this (un)Real Insurance, got lot of bad reviews in Product Review.com.au

Although this is a deal, the advice at the top of the page amounts to a rather morally questionable practice. Can a mod please remove the advice to join, and then cancel? It's against the spirit of the website, and not what we should be promoting here.

  Agree 100%. I hate insurance companies as much as the next person but to deliberately encourage this sort of behaviour is not on.

    Sadly it's endlessly encouraged around here
