Here we are 2011, another Christmas and New Year behind us and another looooong January, for a lot of people…! This year is looking very positive and I know that for a fact because clients are asking about retirement planning and savings plans, this is normally an indication that consumers have more money in their pockets and are positive about the economic future.
We decided that this year we would like to make sure that our clients improve their Vitality status in order to benefit more from the Discovery Integration Model. Please read this newsletter and follow the links to earn points!
Your Vitality in 2011
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO IMPROVE YOUR VITALITY STATUS?
• If your vitality status is higher it means that you are more informed about your health, which in turn means that you can make adjustments to your lifestyle if you pick up any problems like a raised cholesterol level etc.
• Most people who are on Discovery’s medical aid by now have a Discovery Life policy as well. The life policy has a Pay-back Benefit, this means that you will get a portion of your life policy’s premiums back every 5 years. The higher your Vitality status, the higher the Pay-back which you will receive.
• You also have the power to control the premium increases on your Life policy through your Vitality status. The higher the status, the LOWER the premium increase.
• Your discounts/pay-backs will increase as your Vitality status improves.
