    Tower owns 67% of TradeMe Insurance, so this is a white label product with small variations from the Tower offering.
    The other two large insurance companies in NZ are Vero and IAG, with various sub-brands and white label resellers.

    (Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just mentioning why the Tower discount codes work here.)

    • This ^
      I was with trade me insurance and then found out that it's Tower… got a quote from Tower for a far better price.

      • wow, when I did their online quote for car insurance trademe had the better price.

        • Same here, priced Tower at nearly $300 more than Trademe.

      We're trying this for a year: https://www.nib.co.nz/special-offers

      For a limited time, get Premium Everyday cover for under $11 per week for the first 12 months. Claim back 80% on dental, glasses and contacts, GP visits and more*.

      Thought it was pretty good for $10 a week to see if it's worthwhile or not.

      • Thank you. I wish could do something like that with trademe

      • For those who get this, be aware of the waiting periods (from when you first sign up to when you can make a specific type of claim).

        Here are some examples from this NIB policy's documentation:

        Preventative dental treatment: 2 months
        General dental treatment: 2 months
        Major dental treatment: 12 months
        Orthodontic treatment: 12 months

        Pretty much everything useful is blocked for the first two months, and then they unblock things by category and severity.

        • Yea, we worked out we'd get back more than we'd pay in the first year promo, even with the waiting periods, but not so sure about subsequent years.

          • @Kiwi: How much are you totally paying for a week

            • @Splashyminion: Our billed amount is $86.85/month for 2. So about $10.

              • @Kiwi: That's pretty good for 2. Hospital care is expensive ! Quoted for mum $31-41 per week

  • Thanks for the deal but where do we enter the code? Can't find in any of steps.

    • It's on the second page (when you start applying), top right, underneath the quote price.

  • Stay away from trademe insurance, had a very bad experience with them. Customer service is pathetic, they will take over 2 months to process a simple claim. Similar claim took less than 15 days for state to process.

    If you buying it for peace of mind,be aware- trademe insurance will take that peace away when you claim.

      Got to agree, been a year since my claim, they've paid for the other parties car repairs after 5 months, and still working to get my car repaired (12 months on)
      Last 3 emails have gone unresponded to
      Absolute nightmare - moved to Ami for $100 less on premium, 250 less on excess, and same insured value and theyve been great so far

      • Odd, that sucks but Wife made 2 claims in 2 weeks via online claim app and we had it sorted pretty quick smart.

      Trademe was voted best car insurance last year, and Tower at the bottom. I dunno, maybe it is rigged lol.

    Trademes customer support is so nonexistent that it makes me look at the entire company as a joke. They even had an 0900 number for support.

    I would never in my life consider having insurance through them, which can be a pain to deal with even going through companies with exemplary customer interaction.

    You would have to be insane to think a company as greedy as this which shafts NZ with utterly brutal fees would ever be on your side in a claim involving them paying you money.

      The TradeMe Insurance call centre is within Tower so completely separate from TradeMe.

    • Trademe customer support is existent when they want to charge you more, I got email from them after bought a new policy, they said:
      The new policy has a FAST50 promotion code applied which is only applicable to Tower Direct policies, not Trade Me Insurance policies.

  • Got email from Trademe insurance and they increased my premium by $50. They said :
    The new policy has a FAST50 promotion code applied which is only applicable to Tower Direct policies, not Trade Me Insurance policies.

  • I have expired the deal in light of baikal's feedback.

    If someone else has been successful in using this code without a $50 increase to their TM insurance, let me know.

    • They caught on! hopefully I and some others have slipped through the cracks. No email yet.
