I have Manulife Vitality myself and am such a big supporter of this. I try to be very intentional in keeping an active, healthy lifestyle, and the Vitality™ programs assist me with reaching my goals. And, like I said, most people need insurance, so buying a product that gives you so many benefits is excellent! I went to Europe last year and used the Expedia discounts to save $1000 total on two of my hotel bookings. When I returned from my travels, I knew I would be busy and jetlagged, so I used my HelloFresh discount to get discounted HelloFresh boxes sent to me so I wouldn’t have to have the stress of grocery shopping. Also, because I ordered an Apple watch through Vitality, I got points for all the steps I took while touring around. –Yvonne Larner, Operations, Compliance & Insurance Administrator, Wiegers Financial and Insurance Planning Services Ltd.
