Now I don't advocate life insurance (or most other insurances) but I do advocate free money.
NAB is offering a free $100 Visa pre-paid gift card to online purchasers of life insurance.
Terms, conditions & exclusions:
To be eligible for the $100 Visa Gift Card incentive, you must purchase NAB Essential Life or NAB Accidental Death Insurance between 1 July and 30 September 2016 11.59pm. If approved for NAB Essential Life insurance, a minimum premium of $20.00 per fortnight or $40.00 per month applies at the time of purchase. Minimum premium is applicable for NAB Essential Life only.
You can have only one policy, either NAB Essential Life or NAB Accidental Death. You are not able to apply or complete an application on behalf of others. If you do, that policy will be cancelled from inception and no incentive will be paid. Customers purchasing multiple policies will only receive one Gift Card and the second or any subsequent policy will be cancelled and premium(s) refunded. Existing Essential Life policy holders are excluded from this offer.
The Gift Card will be sent in the mail to the primary applicant’s mailing address within 55 days after the commencement date of the NAB Essential Life or NAB Accidental Death Insurance policy subject to (i) the policy not being cancelled or lapsed within the first 40 days; and (ii) all premium payments being made during that period.
I can't find any link to apply for NAB Accidental Death Insurance. It might not be for sale at the present.
There is a potential for $40 profit after 3 $20 fortnightly (42 days) premiums are paid. Perhaps more if the gift card is sent earlier.
My experience is that you go to an insurance company for insurance and a bank for your banking needs. You will quickly give this $100 back to NAB and a whole lot more. Happy to hear from anyone who thinks this is not the case.
