CII bundle offer

More complete protection. 10% less premium.

Clients can save 10% for life on critical illness insurance premiums by bundling with a non-participating life insurance solution in Sun eApp.

*Terms and conditions apply.

Bridge the protection gap

Clients often decide: "I only want to pay for life insurance, because it covers all that I need."

But the protection gap is different:

With this bundle offer, you can give them both.

Bundle now. Save for life.

Joan could save more than $13,000 in CII premiums by the time she's 80.* *Based on FNS 35, SunUniversalLife II, $500K face amount, level min premium for life and Sun CII Lifetime coverage and payments for life for a 250K face amount.

If Joan, 35, bundles SunUniversalLife II with Sun Critical Illness Insurance before December 31, she could save more than $13,000 in premiums by the time she is 80.

Why bundle non-participating insurance with CII?

Because the best protection conversations don't stop at life insurance.

Many Clients hear "critical illness" and think only about cancer or very unusual conditions. In reality, coverage often includes over 25 conditions, including heart attack and stroke, which are among the most common serious health events.

Show them CII can, in fact, help with:

  • Replacing lost income
  • Time away from work
  • Family support and caregiving costs
  • Travel and recovery expenses
  • Debt and financial obligations during recovery

FAQ

Campaign eligibility and timing

Clients who:

  • Apply for an Evolve Term, Sun Permanent Life or SunUniversalLife II life insurance policy and a Sun Critical Illness Insurance (CII) policy at the same time.
  • The life insurance policy and Sun CII policy must have the same owner.

Note: The premium discount will be reflected in the terms of the Sun CII policy.

No. Only Evolve Term, Sun Permanent Life or SunUniversalLife II + Sun CII are eligible for the bundle special offer.

  • Note: A bundle consists of 1 Evolve Term policy, or 1 Sun Permanent Life policy, or 1 SunUniversalLife II policy, and 1 Sun CII policy. Multiple policies within each product type will not count towards the special offer and will not be eligible for the discount.
  • For example: A policy owner purchases an Evolve Term for $500k on their own life, a Sun CII policy on their own life and a Sun CII policy on their partner. The policy owner would have to select which Sun CII they want to ‘bundle’ with the Evolve Term policy. The Sun CII policy that was selected for the ‘bundle’ will receive the premium discount and the remaining Sun CII policy will not be eligible.  

Note: Achievers Term, Essential Term, 1-year Bridge Term, Simplified Issued Term, and Sun Life Go Term are not eligible Term product types for this offer. Express Critical Illness insurance is not an eligible CII product type for this offer. 

The campaign is available from October 5, 2026, until December 31, 2026. All applications must be submitted on the same day during the campaign to be eligible.

Eligibility is open to Clients of all ages who meet the age requirements for each product type.

Sun Life Illustrations has the ability to illustrate the bundle special offer and show the discounted premium value. To illustrate the Non-Par Life and CII bundle special offer, you can:

  1. Log into Sun Life Illustrations and select either Evolve Term, Sun Permanent Life, SunUniversalLife II, or Sun CII from the Product selection.
  2. At the top of the illustration page, you will see the ‘Special Offers’ tab.
  3. Click ‘Special Offers’ and in the dialog box select the 2026 Non-Par Life and CII Special Offer from the drop-down list and click ‘Proceed’
  4. A new illustration appears at the top for each of the products in the Special Offer. The life insurance illustration will not show a discount, however on the Sun CII product you will see discounted premiums displayed. A section for ‘Lifetime Savings’ highlights the total benefit to the Client over the life of the policy. 
  5. The Illustration Report for the Sun CII product will highlight that it contains discounted premiums on the front-page and Client Summary section. It will also indicate ‘SO’ for Special Offer in the illustration ID in the bottom right corner.

Note:

  • The ‘Special Offers’ tab will only appear if the product you have chosen to illustrate is in an active Special Offer. For example, if you selected Sun Par Protector II, you will not see the ‘Special Offers’ tab as it is not included in the active offer.
  • The Solve by payment feature is not available when a Special Offer is selected for illustration. The feature is greyed out because it cannot currently calculate the discount correctly. We may be able to include this feature in future Special Offers. 

Applications for the Non-Par Life and Sun CII special offer will be handled on Sun eApp:

  • Add the products you want to purchase (i.e., Evolve Term and Sun CII).
  • A pop-up box will appear indicating there is a special offer available and will bring you to the ‘Product bundling’ screen. You will then select which products you want to combine into the special offer bundle.
  • Once you get to the sign and submit section both the life insurance and Sun CII policies need to be submitted on the same day.

See the Applying with the product bundling feature topic in the Sun eApp training roadmap for details on how to apply for this offer.

Yes. Backdating is allowed with existing backdating rules and maximum period based on each product type.

  • Bundle applications submitted during an active campaign window and backdated to a non-campaign time will get the bundle discount.
  • Bundle applications not submitted during an active campaign window and backdated to a campaign time will not get the bundle discount

Yes, due to privacy reasons. If you have special circumstances, please reach out to SalesDesk@sunlife.com.

No. All the policies must be submitted at the same time, through a ‘Product bundling’ application on Sun eApp, and within the campaign window to be eligible for the Sun CII premium discount.

Advisors will receive compensation for each product in the bundle special offer, and it will continue to be based on the cost of insurance.

Both the life insurance and Sun CII need to be approved by underwriting and accepted by the Client to retain eligibility and keep the Sun CII discount. If the life insurance policy is declined, the Sun CII policy will be issued at the full non-discounted premium.

No. The standard product minimums and maximums apply for the life insurance and Sun CII products.

Sun CII Premium Discount

Under the terms of this special offer, a 10% premium discount will be applied to the Sun CII product for the lifetime of the policy.

Under the terms of the special offer, the 10% premium discount will be applied to the total monthly or annual premium of Sun CII. We calculate the premium discount amount based on the payment mode selected.

  • Monthly: Total monthly premium*0.90 = discounted premium amount
  • Annual: Total annual premium*0.90 = discounted premium amount

No. If the Client adds another layer of life insurance coverage, the Sun CII premium discount will remain.

Sun Life will continue to honour the 10% Sun CII premium discount.

The Sun CII premium discount will be reflected in the terms of the policy pages and will be applied automatically upon application submission. Sun Life will monitor special offer eligibility during the underwriting decision stage and whenever in-force changes are applied and adjust the premium as required.

The discount applies to the base premium, any optional benefits, and any ratings. We base the discount on the selected payment mode. This includes the base coverage, optional benefits, and the policy fee.

There are 2 scenarios when special quotes are given:

  1. NOT ELIGIBLE: Policies that are submitted as a ‘competitive match’.
  2. ELIGIBLE: Policies that are submitted because they are over the illustration threshold. If you have a Client interested in this special offer but either the life insurance or Sun CII falls in this scenario, work with the Insurance Sales Support team or your Insurance Sales Director to receive the discount. 

Within Sun eApp there are 4 options when starting an application:

  1. New Business Application: Use this button when submitting regular applications for the Non-Par Life and Sun CII special offer. Once one of the eligible life insurance products and Sun CII are added in the ‘Product Details’ page you will be prompted to select the special offer and the ‘Product Bundling’ screen will appear.
  2. Replacement, Conversion, or Option: These applications are not eligible for the Non-Par Life and Sun CII special offer.
  3. Special Quote Application: Use this application if you are applying for policies that have received a special quote through the Insurance Sales Support team or your Insurance Sales Director. If your special quote policies are eligible for the Non-Par Life and Sun CII special offer, please submit both the life insurance and Sun CII within 1 special quote application. You will not be directed to the ‘Product Bundling’ screen, as the premiums will be pulled from the special quote. Contact the Insurance Sales Support team or your Insurance Sales Director for assistance with this process.
  4. Supplementary Application: These applications are not eligible for the Non-Par Life and Sun CII special offer.

Policy Eligibility

Yes, the eligibility criteria requires the same owner but the insureds can be different. For example, if a policy owner purchases an Evolve Term life insurance policy on their own life and also purchases a Sun CII policy on their child, the discount will apply to the Sun CII premiums.

No. Sun eApp will force the selection of 1 Sun CII policy to be ‘bundled’ with 1 life insurance policy and only that CII policy will get the premium discount. The remaining CII policies will not be considered as part of the bundle and will not get a premium discount.

Yes. Only applications that are submitted during the campaign period at the same time, will be eligible for the Sun CII premium discount.

No, only applications submitted through Sun eApp are eligible. Paper applications for life insurance and Sun CII will not be considered for the premium discount.

No, this special offer is available on new business of Non-Par life insurance and Sun CII policies only. Conversions, replacements, and supplementary applications are not eligible for the offer. Group conversion products are not eligible for the discount.

Note: Any application in underwriting when the campaign begins that is then cancelled in order to submit a new application to receive the discount, will NOT be eligible for the Sun CII premium discount.

There is no impact to the ROPC/E process. The premium discount will be automatically applied to the total Sun CII premium, including premium related to the ROPC/E option, which will reduce the premium the Client will pay. When the optional benefit is exercised the Client will receive back the discounted premium paid.

Only policies that have the same owner are eligible for the campaign. Corporate and joint-ownership policies are also eligible.

No. Please do not include a cover letter solely to indicate that the policy is eligible for the special offer campaign as this will stop straight through underwriting and processing and will cause service delays. If there is another valid reason to include a cover letter, please continue to do so.

Yes. Corporate and joint-ownership policies are eligible for the special offer.

No. The owner must be exactly the same on both policies to be eligible for the special offer. Corporate and joint-ownership policies are eligible for the special offer.

Yes. Shared ownership on Sun CII is eligible for this special offer, but only if the owners are exactly the same for the life insurance policy.
