Singapore, 4 October 2021 – In celebration of its 113th anniversary this year, leading regional insurer Great Eastern today launched Great Eastern Gift Credits.

All existing and new Great Eastern Life policyholders1 will receive S$200 worth of gift credits once they sign in to the Great Eastern Rewards app by 31 December 2021. Customers will be able to use the gift credits to offset up to 10% of the premiums for multiple purchases from a range of over 30 life and general insurance products.  

The gift credits are valid till 31 Dec 2023 and can be used for purchases made through a Great Eastern financial representative, the company’s website or at its Customer Service Centres. Great Eastern Gift Credits can also be used along with other customer promotions and discounts.

Khor Hock Seng, Group Chief Executive Officer, Great Eastern, said:

“As we commemorate Great Eastern’s 113th anniversary, we want to celebrate with our customers in a meaningful way and to thank them for their trust and support through the years. The pandemic has made Singaporeans more conscious of insurance solutions to help manage their health and financial risks. Our Great Eastern Gift Credits will benefit our over two million existing customers, as well as new ones, as they take future steps towards bridging these protection gaps. Together with our newly revamped Great Eastern Rewards app, we aim to continue providing fresh and exciting experiences to our customers to help them live Lifeproof.”

Great Eastern has been progressively rolling out initiatives to support its customers and the community since the onset of the pandemic. Its 113th anniversary Gift Credits is its latest initiative to deliver value to them, to help them protect themselves and their loved ones through every life stage, especially during this time of uncertainty.

Earlier this quarter, Great Eastern provided Singapore residents with complimentary hospital cash benefits for local and overseas hospitalisation as a result of COVID-19 infections through GREAT Covid Care Plan. In January 2021, it launched its S$1 million GREAT Vaccine Fund for its customers and their immediate family members, which provides hospital cash benefits if one is hospitalised due to COVID-19 vaccinations.
