I have just done this as I have been thinking I should have some life insurance. There was no mention of the cashback apart from on the very first page - is this right?

I want the insurance anyway but it would be nice to get £100 back! Also I went through topcashback (never used a cash back site before). Are you meant to get the £100 and the cash back from topcashbook or just one of them?

You will get £43 via TopCashback for going through their link to purchase the insurance.
You will get the £100 by the post office after you have made 3 monthly premiums. You will be sent a letter where by you then have to pop to your local Post office to collect the cash.

shouldnt you wait till you get the voucher before cancelling, just in case?
even if it means 1 more month @£5?:rotfl:

what have people put in the following box: How long do you want cover to last?

doesnt matter as you will probably cancel after 3 months, I put in 5 years. Applied twice once for me and one for the wife.

Yes i'd advise to do that - the post does say as little as £15 but I would make sure you get the £100 cash before cancelling (if you want to).


This offer also works out as having over 2 years free life insurance for anyone who is considering keeping the cover

Premiums are dependant on age, amount of cover and personal circumstances

[strike]Premiums may be more than £5 for some people[/strike] [Not seen that mentioned above]

No, that's not right having now applied myself - you do have the option to fix the payment @ £5 per month....

for those concerned about cancelling

Can I change my mind?

Yes. We'll give you your money back if we receive cancellation notice within the 30 days from the later of:

1. the day you are advised that the contract is concluded the day you receive the contract

What if I stop paying?

1. Cover will cease if your direct debit payments are stopped or cancelled. Your plan and cover will end after 30 days from the date the last premium was due. You won't get back any payments you've made.

I have noticed that it says that they will send a letter to redeem the £100 not that they will send the money after 3 months?
