Does One Dollar Really Buy Life Insurance?
No, $1 does not buy life insurance. Sorry. The dollar you send in with your completed application is an advertising gimmick. Of course, if you application is accepted, and you complete the first 1 – 3 months of your policy, you will receive a notice of a much higher rate. Many people cancel after the trial period, and companies who advertise the $1 buys life insurance — and you know who you are — expect that. They just assume that a lot of people who have gone through the trouble to apply, will go ahead and keep the life insurance.
In fact, those senior life insurance companies who advertise that very low rate plan on using the people who cancel for years to come as leads to send other insurance agents to your door or to call you on the phone.
Do yourself a favor, and just purchase final expense insurance for seniors at the real rate in the first place. In fact, life insurance companies who are really competing on price in a above the board manner will probably beat the $1 price in the long run. $1 does not buy life insurance.
NOTE: Sometimes a very low rate like $1 or $2 will buy a child rider on an adult policy, but that is different.
