    More evidence - from Sainsbury's ;-)

    Life insurance does not have to be expensive. Life insurance premiums, through Sainsbury’s Finance, which start from as little as £5 a month (which is 16p per day), are among the most competitive available and regularly appear in best-buy tables. Nectar card holders taking out a new policy before 30th November 2010 will receive £50 of Sainsbury’s vouchers and 1,000 Nectar points. http://sainsburysbank.thepressdesk.co.uk/pages/136/2010+releases.stm?article_id=671

    My cashback is still listed as PENDING. My Nectar card has not had any points on it yet nor have vouchers arrived. Keeping an eye out on things.

    Press Release

    1 November 10

    £318 Billion worth of mortgages not protected by life insurance


    Nearly one in two mortgage holders do not have life cover to protect their mortgage
    47 per cent increase in mortgages not covered by life insurance since January 2006
    Life Insurance through Sainsbury’s Finance(1) is available from just £5 a month

    Nearly one in two mortgage holders in Britain (43%) do not have their mortgage contributions covered by life insurance, new research(2) from Sainsbury’s Life Insurance(1) indicates. The findings suggest that there are over 7.1 million people with a collective outstanding mortgage balance of £318 billion who have no life insurance to cover this.
    This represents a 47 per cent increase on the £217 billion of mortgages not protected by life cover in 2006, when the Sainsbury’s Life Insurance last conducted this research (3).
    The supermarket bank fears that the recession could have a part to play in this dramatic increase in unprotected mortgages. It believes that many people may be inclined to put less importance on life insurance, worrying more about the here and now rather than the unthinkable. Sainsbury's Finance is warning those who aren't protected – for whatever reason – of the serious consequences and impact this could have. If these people were to die, their loved ones may not be able to afford to make the mortgage repayments and ultimately in some cases may not be able to carry on living in their home. Sainsbury’s Finance is urging all homeowners to make sure they have adequate life insurance.
    Of those who pay a mortgage that isn’t covered by life protection, the research indicates that, on average they are personally currently responsible for an outstanding balance of over £44,000. This is a worrying finding, given that the research also suggested almost one third (32%) of 35 to 44 year olds don't have life insurance to protect their mortgage payments, and over one third (34%) of 45 to 54 year olds aren't covered.
    Lucy Hunter, Sainsbury’s Life Insurance Manager said: “Life insurance provides financial cover should the unthinkable happen, enabling people to be secure in the knowledge that their dependants could receive a cash lump sum if they were to die. This is particularly important for homeowners, who should take care not to overlook life insurance as it can help to ensure peace of mind that the property is paid for upon death, allowing loved ones to continue living in the family home, and it could also alleviate any financial burden, therefore providing financial security.”

    Life insurance does not have to be expensive. Life insurance premiums, through Sainsbury’s Finance, which start from as little as £5 a month (which is 16p per day), are among the most competitive available and regularly appear in best-buy tables. Nectar card holders taking out a new policy before 30th November 2010 will receive £50 of Sainsbury’s vouchers and 1,000 Nectar points.
    Young mortgage holders are less likely to have dependents so having life insurance to cover their mortgage is less important, but worryingly, many of those in age groups who are likely to have dependents are also unprotected, with 32% of those aged between 35-44 and 34% of those aged 45-54 not protecting their payments(2)

    I called them when I took mine out and they said it was three months of payments first before you get the things through, but confirmed that was the deal. I have only had two payments so far so they should be with us in February according to my reckoning. Will be very handy! :D

    Well my 3rd payment is due out tomorrow so how long after this should we expect to get the vouchers through, and if they dont arrive should we email them? i'm assuming there must be a contact section on the website although I haven't looked. Could really use those vouchers this month as funds are tight. Nothing showing on cashback for me either :( Has anyone actually received their vouchers/points or cashback as of yet?

    My 3rd payment has been taken, nothing showing yet. I'll give it a couple of weeks then query it.
