Did you see all the new things they are adding to their insurance?I see their ads on tv.Sounds very good. Something about a refund or reward of money or cash back for every term you file no claims.I think that what they said.

I see that ad for allstate, six months with no accidents and you get a check in the mail, but it does not say how much. They also advertise that your deductible will go down. I just wonder is they are more expensive when you first start with them if they can afford to be giving all these discounts, it sounds like you end up paying no deductible at all through time as long as you have no accidents, I don't know how this could be possible. I never heard of insurance with no deductible.

Does sound funny, car insurance that drops the deductible every so often, I guess they figure it will encourage people to drive safer if they have these incentives in place, it may work, but I would like to know just how much those checks are every six months accident free and how much do they drop your deductible six months accident free, do you have any feedback on this dadummy, how long have you been with them, have you recieved any of these perks yet? can you share with us?

I was under the impression that AARP was a good program, there are some older people that I work with who have it, of course they don't discuss the benefits, but these are some pretty serious thinkers, I don't think they would just be throwing their money away with out investigating it first. I would assume it had something good going for it if they had it.

My hubby got a qoute from one insurance company and they said they could not give me a better price than what I already have . But I would like to know if AARP can. If allstate has all that they are sure to rack up the customers. It could pay off for them to if they save money on claims.They may be on to something.Instead opf punishing people for useing the insurance why not pay they to not use it?

It would make sense and it is a good incentive to change to them if they do really give the money back that they say, I always find that there are always loopholes somewhere hummingbird, make sure that you read the fine print.

Yes,Do you ever see these offers on TV and the screen changes so fast that you never get to read whats on the bottom of the screen?That should be illegal,if you are going to put something on the bottom of the screen you should at least be able to read it huh? But thats the way to get you to go to their site.
