Its never too late to say I love you

If you are currently in the dog box because your Valentine’s present was a flop, Dups might just help you redeem yourself. You don’t have to wait until February of next year to make things right. A voyage for two is up for grabs in the ongoing Gold Cover Campaign. In order for you to be in line to win this holiday of a lifetime, you need to take up the Dups Dignity Funeral Plan with a cover of E50 000. The competition is open to clients that already have that particular cover, new ones that would like to start from scratch, and existing clients that had lower covers but would like to upgrade.  The Gold Cover Campaign kicked off last week and will be running until June 30, when the draw will be conducted.

Just in case you missed our bulletin last week, there are fantastic advantages that come with signing up for the Dignity Funeral Plan with the E50 000 cover while the campaign is running. Not only will consultants come to you to help you through the process of signing up, a relationship manager will be allocated to you. This manager will be your go-to person in the event that you have queries on your policy or need any kind of assistance. We take the adage “customer is king” very seriously at Dups.

To register for the policy, you need to have a copy of valid identity document (ID), a copy of your marriage certificate (where applicable), and copies of birth certificate, in the event that you would like to get cover for your children as well. The Dignity Funeral Plan covers up to six children up to the age of 22. These can be your own, legally adopted or stepchildren.  If they are students, they can be covered up to the age of 26. There is no age limit if the child is mentally or physically handicapped and fully dependent on the policy holder, in which case we would require a doctor’s confirmation. Additional spouses and additional children can be added at a premium.

Should there be loss of life, our consultant will go to the client to collect all the documentation needed to process the payout. All things being equal, the claim will be processed within 24 hours of the documents being submitted.  The documents required for the claim stage are certified copies of valid ID of the person making the claim, ID of the deceased, death certificate, marriage certificate, medical report from the doctor who certified death or letter from umphakatsi, and a confirmation letter from the morgue where the remains of the deceased are being kept.

Remember to always pay your premiums monthly to avoid defaulting. It happens quite a few times that one would have faithfully paid one’s premiums for a very long time and then defaulted, only to find that a claim cannot be processed. There are ways to take away the hassle of making monthly payments. You can opt to pay your yearly premiums all at once, quarterly or bi-annually. You can also pay via debit order or salary deduction. It is in our human nature to want to put aside and do tomorrow what can easily be done today. Many will be tempted to sit on this offer, deciding to sign up “some other time”, but there is no time like the present. June is not very far. If you procrastinate, before you know it, you would have allowed a golden opportunity to slip through your fingers.

Call us on 2505 2028 if you would like to be a part of the Gold Cover Campaign. We will be happy to come and sign you up, but you can also pay us a visit at our offices in Manzini, Matata, Matsapha, Simunye, Nhlangano, Mbabane, Piggs Peak and Siteki.
