Has anyone else taken advantage of these policies?
I have taken out 3. All the ones I selected repay all payments made if you die in the first 12 months and after that pay the agreed amount when you die. Up to about 10k depending on what you pay each month
they are guaranteed pay outs and many give you a £100 gift card or similar when you sign up
my guess is there’s no way my wife is going to lose out on this as the savings being used to make monthly payment will either be returned so no loss. Or as is my case they are all now over 1 year old so she will get the full payment from each of them.
I have sent of you a pm with details but the forum is jumping about all over the place this morning so not sure if they sent, let me and I can resend if needed
Hi. So if you die after the 12 months, the lump is guaranteed no matter how much paid in at that point? Never done one before
Sorry, I know you’re not the financial advisor
Thanks.
Yes the good ones are a guaranteed payout, I’m not a salesman or a financial advisor but I can spot a bargain lol.
Yes I stuck to a well established firm and I did enjoy spending the £100 vouchers after the 12 months. X
I wouldn't have thought we'd be accepted for life insurance! Love this! I'll look into it when/if I reach 50... Thanks for the heads up

Be too late by then, Richard would have had all their funds!
Been looking at them and it seems you can’t really lose, unless live to 90!
Just to decide whether to do 10 in a three companies or 30 in one.
Thanks for the tip, as this is something I’d never have looked at before
