How my health insurance bought me a Bugatti

You may remember me talking about AIA Vitality in a previous issue of our newsletter. This is a new type of insurance that rewards you for healthy behaviours. As you improve your health in areas such as nutrition, exercise and mental wellbeing, you receive a range of extra benefits. So you’re covered against risks and rewarded if you reduce them.

Now that AIA Vitality has been around for over a year, many members are reaching the Platinum rewards level. This entitles them to a 12% discount on their next premium renewal.

The other benefit is the ability to choose from a range of attractive rewards.

When I joined the programme last year I opted to earn Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars as my AIA Vitality rewards currency. Unfortunately, Covid disruption means I’m unlikely to be boarding a plane any time soon. So instead of buying travel, I recently used my Airpoints Dollars to buy a shiny new Bugatti toaster.

Ok, it’s not quite as glamorous as a Bugatti in the garage. But it looks stunning on the kitchen bench, and it makes superb toast.

And it cost me nothing, thanks to AIA Vitality.
