Yes, there’s a free version called Manulife Vitality Go that comes automatically with the purchase of eligible Manulife insurance plans. This membership version gives you discounts on Garmin and Fitbit devices and the chance to win gift cards when you spin the Vitality Wheel™ or play Vitality Squares™. If you want more rewards and the chance to save on insurance costs, you can pay $6 a month for Manulife Vitality Plus. To become a member with a health and dental insurance plan, the Vitality® charge is $5 a month.
Savings on insurance costs are in comparison to the same Manulife life insurance policy without Vitality Plus. The level of savings on insurance costs will vary based upon the Vitality Status achieved by the life insured. Savings on insurance costs are only available on Family Term with Vitality Plus and Manulife UL with Vitality Plus. Manulife Par with Vitality Plus offers the potential for Vitality® Dividends.
