    Anyone know how easy these policies are to cancel after one month?

    Taken from the above t&c's !

    Beware you could end up with life cover you don't want and still not get your camera if they apply this section of their terms and conditions!

    Virgin run this promotion virtually all the time. In the main T&Cs from past checks they do say that they can ask for the camera back if you cancel in the first 12 months.

    Also, its not one months premium. You pay for life assurance in advance. So cover goes on risk and payment is due, One month later next one is due. The delivery of 28 days after first premium is due means you are almost certainly going to pay 2 premiums.

    Im not going to run through the t&c again as it was hidden away somewhere. However, it is shown on one of the past threads that discuss this offer.
