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.

    Cheers OP

    Thanks for choosing Qantas Assure Life Protect.
    Your application has been successful and soon you'll receive a digital copy of your Welcome Pack with details of your cover, that you'll need to check and confirm are correct.

    Got it down to $8.01 and used a Coles re-loadable MasterCard which ill turn off after they take the second payment

    • tunzafun001 on 08/03/2017 - 17:48

      Never been penalised using this idea? I guess your best and worse case scenario are the same…they cancel your insurance.

      • Gotchas on 08/03/2017 - 19:31

        Bad thing
        Haven't you noticed when applying for a quote they ask you have you had any insurances cancelled

        • tunzafun001 on 08/03/2017 - 22:02

          I thought that was for fraud, or maybe other deliberate acts (Like burning your house down and claiming) etc. Interesting.

        • Gotchas on 09/03/2017 - 00:51

          @tunzafun001:
          That's called insurance rejected or denied

    Just tried to take out life insurance on my toddler.
    And failed, as there's a minimum age limit of 18.
    Will have to explain in years to come that "it's why mummy and daddy had to take that nice holiday without you".

    • starburstyellow on 08/03/2017 - 17:23

      I cant even do it for my wife, who is a housewife :(

  • Deviner on 08/03/2017 - 16:49

    I did it once, accidentally answered "admitted to hospital" question as "yes" (thought it said did I GO to the hospital for anything) - got the "we'll call you message".
    Did it a second time without issue - really didn't expect to get through second attempt, considering my previous application!

    Great find OP.

      The logical next step is to fake one's injury or death on day 59 to claim payment as well as the FF points.

    Qantas must think today a lot of chicken sh*t software engineers are scared for their lives lol

  • Jatacid on 08/03/2017 - 18:29

    On a serious note - if I want to actually get life insurance (as a 29 yr old software developer), is this a good deal? And should I be getting level premiums so I don't have to pay more in the future? Or is it still a bit too early to look at taking out a life insurance policy?

    • FeZZa21 on 08/03/2017 - 18:30

      dont ask or think, just do this then reconvene after getting the 30K points :D

    • railspider on 09/03/2017 - 10:30

      This is probably a question for a financial advisor or expert.

      It's never too early to get life insurance if you have dependents/family you want to be looked after if you die. Stepped vs Level at your age doesn't really matter, the steps are tiny until you get older.

      I think you'll find a better deal if you shop around, but worst case - take out this cover (and insure yourself for more than the minimum of $100K) now, and switch to a better provider when you find one.

  • digitalane on 08/03/2017 - 18:30

    Planning to go to the US in June and my QFF points balance was short about 20k to get myself and the missus upgraded to Business (as Qantas increased all the upgrade point requirements last month…)

    Was thinking about signing up for a random QFF credit card for the bonus points, then this beauty of a deal comes along!

    Thanks heaps OP!

    • starburstyellow on 08/03/2017 - 19:00

      But the points will only get credited in May?

  • brownbag on 08/03/2017 - 19:35

    If you actually want the insurance, I'm not convinced it is great value. My insurance done through my super is much better value.

    At first glance, it seems to be only good for the FF points. But I'll ring them just to see.

    • llanfachreth on 08/03/2017 - 20:17
      +1

      Value is not the only thing you need to consider when looking at insurance. Especially when you're paying for that insurance out of Super.

      • Smigit on 08/03/2017 - 20:36

        Yep. Definitely worth reading up on the pros and cons before determining whether to go with insurance through your super or not. It may or may not save some money, but there are differences generally should you need to claim and potentially what you can claim for too that might be worth paying extra for.

        • brownbag on 09/03/2017 - 07:15

          I looked into my "insurance through super" very carefully and it is good value with great benefits, good conditions, limits, etc. As far as I see it, it's just another insurance policy paid through another means.

        • Smigit on 09/03/2017 - 08:27

          @brownbag: it's definitely a good way to go about it from a value perspective so if it ticks the boxes then there's no reason not to. Sorry, wasn't suggesting people go one way or another, just that it's worth comparing the cover.

        you have to call them up for them to confirm the policy and pay on the spot. The whole process took a good 20 mins for me.

        • yycan on 09/03/2017 - 10:01

          Did you put in the payment and went to "thank you blah blah", and then called them up?

        • nightelves on 09/03/2017 - 10:40

          @yycan:

          Yeap because you then call them up quoting the reference number that was given

          @yycan:

          You should be able to get them to retrieve it with your details. I found with the reference number it was easy for them to retrieve my details.

        • bonezAU on 09/03/2017 - 11:23

          I got instant approval with a reference number when I applied yesterday morning, but they didn't debit my credit card until this morning. Hopefully either the digital welcome pack, or a mailed out pack will be on the way. So far I've heard nothing, and the Qantas Assure app still doesn't know I have purchased a policy, it keeps prompting me to purchase one in order to 'unlock' the points I'm earning for the daily steps.

          Perhaps it takes a few days minimum for the systems to update and the policy to become live.

        • nightelves on 09/03/2017 - 11:50

          @bonezAU:

          How can you add in the Life policy in your Assure App?

        • bonezAU on 09/03/2017 - 13:45

          @nightelves:

          It should automatically detect it once your policy goes live. I emailed them to ask why my points were still locked and they told me to wait 24 hours. It will pick it up because you sign into the Assure app via your QFF number, surname and PIN - the same credentials it uses when you sign up for the insurance policy.

        • nightelves on 09/03/2017 - 13:55

          @bonezAU:

          Oh ok cool because I was able to login into the Assure app using my Qantas details.

    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.

    2 Questions :

    1) Does that mean that I get only QFF 10000 for getting one policy. Do I read it wrong here ? How come people are assuming 30000 QFF here ?
    2) I think one needs to factor 3 months premium atleast (Not 2 as few have mentioned). Is that right ?
