MAKING A PAYMENT

How can I set up my account for automatic payments?

AAA Life can take your payment by credit card or from your bank account with EFT. Never worry about missing a payment by setting up Autopay with EFT (it’s the most secure way to pay).

Or you can make a one-time payment by clicking here to visit Quickpay.

 

Is there a grace period for late payments?

Yes. The grace period for policies varies by product, but is at least 31 days from the due date of your bill. If a premium is paid during the grace period, the premium is considered to have been paid on time and your coverage (including riders) remains in effect.

Why is the address on the premium due notice different from the address on the enclosed envelope?

The address listed on the return envelope is a P.O. Box address that will be sent directly to a bank for processing. The address on the premium due notice is the physical address of our administrative office where correspondence is sent. If you send your payment to the administrative office, it will delay your payment from being posted to your account.

Is there a grace period for late payments?

Yes. The grace period for policies varies by product, but is at least 31 days from the due date of your bill. If a premium is paid during the grace period, the premium is considered to have been paid on time and your coverage (including riders) remains in effect.

What payment methods are accepted?

Checking/Savings account - You will need the name of the account holder, the bank routing number, and the account number.

Credit/Debit card - You will need the name of the cardholder, the card number, security code, and the expiration date. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Will I receive a confirmation of my payment?

Yes. AAA Life will send confirmation of the payment to the email address you provided when making the payment online or to register for an account. Be sure to add "aaalife.com" to your accepted email list. If you do not receive the email, check your SPAM folder.

MAKING CHANGES TO MY POLICY

How many beneficiaries can I have?

You may assign as many beneficiaries as you want. The benefit percentages must total 100% for primary beneficiaries and 100% for any contingent beneficiaries you assign. It’s important to take the time to review your beneficiary designations carefully upon opening your policy and keep them up to date as your life changes. Doing so helps to ensure that if a claim is filed on your policy, your life insurance benefits are distributed to the people (or causes) you care about most.

How do I add or make a beneficiary change?

Beneficiary changes or designations need to be made in writing. You can complete the Beneficiary Change Request form and mail or fax it using the information below in the ‘Contacting AAA Life’ section.

Name change requests need to be made in writing. You can complete the Name Change Request form and mail it or fax it using the information above. A reason must be given for the name change.
