Coverage and rewards
Really? An insurance plan that earns you rewards?
It’s true! What’s better than an insurance plan with points and rewards that help motivate you to achieve a healthier lifestyle?
With the Manulife Vitality program, you can earn Vitality Points™ through walks, workouts, bike rides – anything that gets you active and can be recorded with a wearable device. The points system also rewards you through meditation, healthy sleep, getting a vaccine, dental checkups, online courses and more.
You can turn those points into rewards and gift cards from our popular brands, plus savings on your insurance costs.1 You might even earn more in rewards than you pay for your insurance!

Here's a recap of how Manulife Vitality grows throughout your life:
At age 65
You can now earn 200 Vitality Points each for pneumonia and shingles vaccines (once per lifetime).
At age 71+
- Fewer daily steps required to earn Vitality Points for the three workout types (Light, Standard and Advanced). Step requirements are lowered even further at age 81!
- Fewer daily workout minutes required for the three workout types.
- Fewer daily active calories burned required for the three workout types.
- Blood pressure target has been lowered, so it’s easier to earn 1,000 Vitality Points as part of your Vitality Check™.
Also at age 71, a lower blood pressure target comes into effect. If your blood pressure is equal to or below the healthy range of 140/90, you are eligible for 1,000 Vitality Points as part of your Vitality Check™. The healthy range before age 71 is 120/80.
Note: While points for pneumonia and shingles vaccines are added at age 65, points for mammograms and pap smears are removed at age 71, since they’re no longer recommended in that age range.4, 5
Frequently asked questions
There are so many ways to earn Vitality Points! Right off the bat, you can earn 500 points by completing your Vitality Health Review and 1,000 by declaring you’re a non-smoker (if you are).

Vitality Points reset at the end of your program year – but the good news is you start off with 10% of your previous year’s total as a head start! So if you end the year with 5,000 points, you’ll start the next one with 500. And in that new program year you can start building up points to climb from status to status once again.
