I came across this offer from HBF. Instead of offering free weeks they give you cashback.
Here’s some scenarios of how long you’ll need to hold your policy before receiving the cashback:
Sign up on 7 Feb 2025: Cashback paid on 7 May 2025 → 90 days.
Sign up on 28 Feb 2025: Cashback paid on 7 May 2025 → 69 days.
Sign up on 1 Mar 2025: Cashback paid on 6 June 2025 → 97 days.
Sign up on 31 Mar 2025: Cashback paid on 6 June 2025 → 67 days.
Sign up on 1 Apr 2025: Cashback paid on 7 July 2025 → 97 days.
Sign up on 15 Apr 2025: Cashback paid on 7 July 2025 → 83 days.
Depending on your sign-up date, you’ll need to wait between 67 and 97 days before the cashback is credited to your account.
