Applying the Discount
The discount will be applied to all eligible AIA Living benefits, including other benefits that do not count towards the eligibility criteria such as Redundancy, Specified Accidental Injury Cover, Specialist and Testing Support, and Waiver of Premium.
The discount will not be applied to the policy fee (if any) or per mille premium loadings (if any).
Before your policy is issued, AIA will confirm the level of discount that you are eligible for. Your premiums will be adjusted to reflect any changes in this discount.
If the amount of cover and/or number of benefits you hold with AIA changes, AIA will re-calculate the discount and adjust your premium for your next billing due date.

AIA reserves the right (subject to any applicable law) to cancel or modify the Multi-Benefit Discount for new and/or existing customers by posting updated Terms and Conditions at www.aia.co.nz. If AIA stops offering the discount to existing customers, you will be notified at least 90 days before the change.
