Compared my yesterday and today Ad-Hoc Top-Up balance, and noticed the interest rate is around 1.769% p.a. (probably due to rounding?)

For the initial premium, earning 1.788% p.a (should compound to 1.8%).

Update 10 Sep 2020: Ad-Hoc Top-Up balance's interest earned for yesterday was around 1.815%

think they might not allow new sign up soon. those interested to lock in the good rates better sign up..

just try to click buy on tiq website got a pop up "Please note that ELASTIQ has limited availability."

For those who have a few Etiqa saving plans, in particular eEasy Save, do you only include your initial premium in the 100k PPF limit? Or is it better to use the guaranteed or non-guaranteed maturity value?

recap: PPF protection looks at "guaranteed surrender value at the point of failure"

the products have different maturity

for simplicity, I just look at total premiums paid & not exceed 100k across all such Etiqa products

else, u have to work back from 100k guaranteed SV to derive the total premium that u shld commit today

cant say one is better than the other

what is the difference between the credits and cash?

credits can only be used to buy general insurance or redeemed for vouchers / products (eg face mask) offered by PolicyPal (subj to availability) on their App

yes i've been taking the maturity value of eEasy Save and calculating the max i should top up now.. this is in case of scenario where failure occurs near maturity.. but the other insurers have not bucked up so re-contemplating using initial premium now :s13:

your point is very much valid... eEasy Save is 6 years while the rest are 1-3 years.. so by the time i make it safely past 4th year i may have surrendered the shorter plans if there are better rates elsewhere.. it's hard to say at this point.. so i wanted to tap yours and others' brains to see if there's any point i missed out :)

Better late than never. Too bad I missed the earlier rebates. Signing up via Policypal next week after my Singlife.. More assuring than GIGANTIQ imho..
