Earn the latest Apple Watch for as little as $25 plus tax with regular exercise when you purchase life insurance from John Hancock.
Earn your Apple Watch with John Hancock Vitality PLUS:
Customers who take part in John Hancock Vitality PLUS can order the latest Apple Watch for $25 plus tax. The remaining balance of the watch is divided over 24-monthly installments. The more you exercise each month, the more you'll reduce your monthly payment.
The Vitality Points you earn towards your Apple Watch can also lead to additional rewards and discounts, including savings on your life insurance premiums
Here’s how the program works:
1 Register
Register for your Vitality member account and complete the Vitality Health Review (VHR).
2 Order your Apple Watch
Order your Apple Watch for an initial payment of $25 plus tax.
3 Earn Vitality Points
Walk, run, bike, swim or any number of exercises that qualify as Standard or Advanced workouts in the program and earn Vitality Points that go toward your monthly watch payments.
Monthly payments are based on the number of Vitality Points you earn each month from qualifying activities over a 24-month period.
Earn 500 Vitality Points from Standard or Advanced workouts each month over two years and you’ll make no additional payments.
