Hi All,

Stumbled across this deal where if you sign up to Qantas Life Insurance and also add another service such as total disability cover you can get 30,000 points on sign up.

What I did was put the lowest possible cover for Life Insurance which was $100,000 and then the lowest possible for Total Permanent Disability Insurance and the total came to $16.87 per month.

The best thing about this is that the 30,000 QFF points are credited after 60 days, so essentially you are looking at 30K points for around the cost of $34.00.

T&Cs simply state:
1 Policyholders will earn 10,000 Qantas Points for purchasing one Qantas Assure Life Protect Insurance and 30,000 for purchasing two or more. Qantas Points will be credited after the policy has been held for 60 continuous days. Not available to existing Qantas Assure Life Protect policyholders.

When I change my policy cover the bonus points remains the same, so I only assume they will provide the points to you after 60 days, does not mention anything about a minimum specifc for coverage.

Good luck all and have a play around with the various types of minimum cover to see if you can get it cheaper.

      $150-200 odd if redeeming for vouchers etc.

      better used for reward flights, for eg you can fly from Melbourne to Sydney for 8000pts + $30 in fees.

      Or use to upgrade flights etc

          @tajid:

          1c per point, so $1000, I was stoked haha. You transfer them on the QFF website using the Transfer to family feature. Technically it goes against their terms of use if it isnt family, so if that's a moral issue for you you shouldn't do it, but lots of people do it, you just say hes a second cousin or step brother in law or something haha ;) The transfer itself is done using paypal payments and skype screen share for proof of payment, or thats how it was done with me anyway. Hope that helps.

    Please be aware that the promo says UPTO 30,000 QFF points. Looking at the T&C's, you only get 10,000 points for a single policy, whereby to get the full 30,000, you need to purchase two or more policies.

    Policyholders will earn 10,000 Qantas Points for purchasing one Qantas Assure Life Protect Insurance and 30,000 for purchasing two or more.

    • Tom088 on 08/03/2017 - 12:37

      I'm quite sure the life insurance, TPD and Trauma all count as separate policies.

      Niceee. Can you cancel after 60 days?

    • GaelicAU on 08/03/2017 - 12:48

      Must be based on age and location. I did the same and mine is $14.97
      ….or $29.94 for 60 days to avail of the 30,000 points.

    • railspider on 08/03/2017 - 12:52

      Followed your method, clicked NO to all 'About You' questions, got ~$10/month

      By adjusting the Options on the final screen from Illness Cover to Accident Cover (for both Life & TPD policies), was able to get the quote down further to $8.00/month! Bargain!

      Could possibly be even cheaper if you're younger than me. That's some cheap QFF points if they honour this.

      • GaelicAU on 08/03/2017 - 12:59

        Yes - I just did same and see it now is $7.71.

        EDIT : I see you can only proceed by calling them up.

          How did you get it that low? I'm still getting $26.50 after excluding everything. Also how much was your cover amount? You need two or more cover to get the full 30k points.

        • railspider on 08/03/2017 - 13:29

          @nightelves: It's definitely linked to age, and profession to a degree as well. The younger you are the cheaper.

          Life & TPD are the cheapest policies, Accidental cover only is the cheapest option. I got mine to a combined $8.00/month, couldn't get it lower as someone age 30.

        • GaelicAU on 08/03/2017 - 14:51

          @nightelves:

          Select the first two of four policies. Then go into the options of each one and start turning things off.

          Iv noticed the calculations are not bullet proof though. Sometimes when turning options on, and back off again, it doesnt always recalculate.

          If in doubt, switch the policy off and back on again, then try turning the options off again.

        +1

        I read that, but that's just when the points will be credited (and it's a pretty standard thing for Qantas to say for their promotions). So I have no reason to doubt you'll get the points after 60 days, I'm just worried that TAL may not want to let you go after 60 days. How do you end the insurance? Can that be done online or do you have to ring and be put on hold for > 60 mins (Foxtel-style)?

          In my experience any insurance policy can be cancelled by contacting the provider in writing - It's a heavily regulated industry.

          Then again I haven't read the T&Cs for this deal, so there may be a catch

        So realistically you'd end up paying for 3 months of cover.

        Still good value if you want the points and can deal with the hassle of cancelling the policy.

        • iSamurai on 08/03/2017 - 14:01

          Can you give notice to cancel on the 53rd day so that you get the points credited on the 60th day? You do run the risk of not getting the points though.

          @iSamurai: You could send them a letter and specify which date you want the policy cancelled on, but TBH it's such a fine line between 60 days and getting billed that 3rd month I'd just bite the bullet and pay it

        • tajid on 08/03/2017 - 15:24

    • ccrap on 08/03/2017 - 13:02
      +14

      Strictly speaking, from a legal standpoint the misrepresentation constitutes fraud, regardless if you make a claim.

      Practically speaking, given you won't be making any claims, they don't have the time/resources to: 1) verify and check misrepresentations for policy holders who don't make claims; and, 2) take these customers to court if somehow they do work out point 1. Sauce: ima lawyer.

      What may likely happen is that they investigate closely all signups from the time this deal was posted, particularly those where the click through url was from ozbargain and all the options were set to no/low and under the guise of 'calling to discuss your application' ask for some supporting documentation eg licence to show you are the 20 year old you claim to be, employment confirmation etc. This last para is all speculation of course and you may just walk away with cheap points :)

        Make sure to remove Income Protection Insurance, it defaulted to yes on mine. bumped it to over $57 per month. Removing it and just sticking to life and TPD getting me <$20. Thinking about lying about age to see if it makes a diff.

        • theblake on 23/03/2017 - 18:25

          Yes i removed Income Protection insurance. If you can get $20 thats means you are very young. Make yourself older and see what happens. Life insurace is ALWAYS relative to age and increases with age (to keep the same payout)

    Edit: Interestingly, I can now turn off Life Insurance cover and purchase TPD for $0 to get 10K points.

      I had that too but once you get to the final stage you will only get 10k points cos you only purchased one..

        Wonder if it will allow me to buy TPD for $0 because I turn off the life insurance toggle and it lets me proceed.
