    NAB Essential Life Insurance Policy. $60 Profit

    Don't you have to die first ?

    • illumination on 29/02/2016 - 17:06

      Nah if you die first your profit would be whatever hundreds of thousands the payout is minus the premium!

      • jv on 29/02/2016 - 17:08
        +17

        would be whatever hundreds of thousands the payout is

        Isn't that a better deal then ?

        • illumination on 29/02/2016 - 17:10

          I think so.

          What do you think, OP?

          I say post it up as a new deal!

          A deal to die for, indeed.

    • claud0902 on 29/02/2016 - 17:07

      No. You have to stay alive to cancel the Policy to make this $60 profit.

        read the policy…

        • bonky on 01/03/2016 - 11:01

          where in the policy does it say "JV" ?

  • twocsies on 29/02/2016 - 17:28

    This offer makes me feel somewhat confident about my chances of surviving past 75! Either this life insurance is a losing proposition for NAB, or less than 10% of the people who pay for this insurance ever get a benefit (paid to their survivors).

    Back of the envelope calculations: There's no old age benefit, i.e. no "payoff" if you survive past 75. Assuming a 43 year old person paying the lowest level. $240 per year x 35 years = $8400 (not adjusted for increases in premiums), and the payout: $100,000.

    • fantacular on 29/02/2016 - 18:39
      +3

      you might pay $240/yr when you're 43, but when you're 63 you will be paying shitloads more than $240/yr.

      • twocsies on 29/02/2016 - 18:39
        -4

        Whatever increase in fees is exactly matched by increases in payouts.

        Increase per year of both fees and payouts is the greater of 3% or the CPI increase.

  • easternculture on 29/02/2016 - 17:29

    For me it was $6 a fortnight , how did you get $10

    • illumination on 29/02/2016 - 17:30

      Lol who cares? $6 is cheaper than $10! More profit!

    • bonky on 29/02/2016 - 17:30

        It's in the terms and conditions 'If approved for NAB Essential life insurance, a minimum premium of $10.00 per fortnight or $20.00 per month applies at the time of purchase. Minimum premium is applicable for NAB Essential Life only.'

        Have you actually done it though? It can take quite a long time to go through all the health questions associated with taking out a life insurance policy.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2016 - 14:16

          i did it. entire process took max 5 minutes.

    • GrandpaJack on 29/02/2016 - 18:07

      $120 if you have two adults in your family.

  • mr626 on 29/02/2016 - 17:48

    Don't most people get life insurance included with their super fund though? That's how mine has always been.

    • conan2000 on 29/02/2016 - 22:39

      Not necessarily most, it's an optional element to many superannuation funds. I've always done it that way, but it was just an easy option as I got it up to 3 times my annual salary, no questions asked and quite cheap. The insurance cost will however jump every year, with very little change to the sum insured.

  • mcsere on 29/02/2016 - 18:10
    +1

    You can just adjust cover to the 100,000 minimum and premium goes down to below $10. Mine was at $7.55 per fortnight. Do you think the T&C wants to say (though it doesnt) that you must choose an option that has a minimum of $10 fortnightly premiums to get the gift card?

    • illumination on 04/03/2016 - 22:57

      Hmm.. that's a good question and I am curious about that too…. lol

  • spuderump on 29/02/2016 - 18:14

    Ugh i recall the westpac one about 6 months ago, worst process I ever went through to get the gift card they offered, never got it and wasted time and $$$ in 3 months of premiums.

    • Josh.straw84 on 29/02/2016 - 18:19
      +1

      That has a lot more to do with Westpac being fricken terrible. Their systems are older that the banking system iteself… worked out by two dude with clubs and a penchant for pain.

  • Garagesale on 29/02/2016 - 20:52

    $70 profit actually
    joun for 3 fortnights at $10 x 3 = $30 cost
    14 days x 3 = 42 days which puts you over the 40 day cutoff.

    • halfnhalf71 on 01/03/2016 - 09:07

      My premium is $11.35/fortnight :-( damn you age!!!! Although it's still a $66 profit!

  • thydzik on 29/02/2016 - 23:30

    done for both i and the mrs, thanks

  • T-man on 29/02/2016 - 23:38

    anyone knows how easy to cancel the premium? Thanks.

    • illumination on 01/03/2016 - 00:11
      +1

      You mean the plan? Probably just a phone call.

      If you could cancel the premium without cancelling the plan though, let us know how! ;)

      • T-man on 01/03/2016 - 00:40

        Yes, i am planning to cancel the contract once I've got the gift card

        • illumination on 01/03/2016 - 00:41

          lol you missed my "joke"

          premium = the money you have to pay to have an active insurance
          It's a common term used for insurance. For example, car insurance, you would often ask, "How much is the premium per year?"

          So I was saying let me know if you can find a way to cancel your premium (monetary cost) without having to cancel your plan.. meaning you'd be getting free life insurance!

          @illumination:

          Ah I got you, thank you for the explanation. I've come from another country and English is not my first language, so I usually miss my friends's jokes and have to ask for an explanation.

          +2

          @divious:

          That's ok! No need to apologise.
          English is not an easy language.. so keep asking. It's the only way you'll learn (and ignore anyone that tries to put you down)

  • halfnhalf71 on 01/03/2016 - 09:16

    I wonder if there will be a problem with people cancelling at 40 days but the card not being sent until the 55th day. I would hazard a guess and say we all might get missed until we call and ask where the card is because we won't be active in their system?

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 01/03/2016 - 09:35

    Life insurance is the ultimate form of gambling. Except you're guaranteed to never see a profit personally.

    It's amazing that some insurance companies allow you to sell your own life insurance to a stranger (http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2014-07-30/life-settlem…).

  • Stevetheadventurer on 01/03/2016 - 14:07

    Im now covered… if anyone plans on murdering me the next 40 days would be the most convenient. .. just dont forget to cancel afterwards. .

    • shortgum on 02/03/2016 - 15:47

      kyttkat if you just want to get the ~$60. just sign up as you are health normal and cancel after 40days. no need to be so specific about what surgery you have done

  • kiribatian on 13/04/2016 - 12:50

    I rang up today to cancel and asked about my gift card. Supposedly because my premium was below $10/fortnight, I am not eligible. Argh- sucks to be young and healthy (I'm 28).

    My fault I suppose, I didn't read the terms and conditions close enough. Let me know how you guys go.

    • bonky on 13/04/2016 - 14:14

      if its only 30days… you can get full refund

  • thydzik on 13/04/2016 - 13:32

    when did they introduce the over $10 / week premium?

    edit: this was not a smart investment for me.
    didn't read that it was minimum $10, and forgot to cancel on Monday so they took another fortnight out which is apparently non refundable.

    • LittleMIssPanda on 14/04/2016 - 21:56

      Its not $10 a week minimum, its $10 a fortnight.

  • Leman on 25/04/2016 - 09:24
