Life insurance
OUR ASSESSMENT
Compare the payout, policy term and total premium assumptions first. Rewards have value only if you use them and meet the conditions; they do not replace the financial protection the household needs.
Features to compare
- Vitality offers life insurance alongside separate serious illness and income protection options.
- Its programme includes rewards and an Optimiser option with premiums linked to programme terms and engagement.
Limitations and checks
- Adding serious illness or income protection changes the protection package; these should not be assumed to be part of basic life cover.
- Check the premium path if your activity or programme status changes, rather than valuing the policy only on its starting price or rewards.
The question to ask
What would my premiums be if I stopped engaging with the rewards programme, and which protection benefits are actually included?
