Horrible product, horrible service. My (ex) financial advisor sold me an annuity, claiming it was an investment. It seemed very complicated but I trusted him. After we parted ways, I looked into it, and found that this really profited the company (and probably him). It is worth less than when I bought it, after many years, and they take their cut no matter what. The company denies any responsibility. To make matters worse, the customer service is bad. I had to call many times to find out what was going on. Today, for some reason the website did not work (I was just trying to get their phone number). I had to call their tech support who could not explain it, so had to get a new password. Then I called, was verified, was finally transferred to an agent who wanted to verify me yet again (3rd time today, 2nd time in that call). I hung up in disgust.

Life insurance with Rewards I've owned a few life insurance policies, but I've never had one with benefits like the Vitality program. It's been a great deal and lots more fun to get rewards rather than only getting bills in the mail from my life insurance. It also gives me an incentive to take walks, exercise every once in a while, and wear my apple watch to record activity.Life insurance with Rewards

Be Warned!!! Please beware of this company that preys on the elderly! My parents have been paying into their JH long term care plan since 1997. This last year, while tending to my father as he was dying, my 83 year old mother became eligible to start her long term care payments. But because during this time of stress she lost track of her account and missed 4 payments, the account was reduced so she can only recoup 20% of what she paid into it. So she paid $42,000 into the account over 21 years, and now that she is in assisted living and needs the income she has been paying for, the most she can receive back is $8400, which covers about 2 months. Please read the fine print and make sure someone is managing your account if you go with this company. But better not to take on John Hancock because if you slip up one time, you will lose.

JH Customer Service Sucks! A former employer rolled over my 401K to an annuity with John Handcock. I have been on the phone for over two hours, transferred to other departments all over the world, and still am no closer to getting this resolved. What a complete waste of time. I saw other reviews that put JH in a very terrible light. I now know why they received the reviews the did...their customer service sucks!

FIX YOUR BILLING SYSTEM, JHV The whole concept of the Vitality program is great - receive an Apple Watch and received discounts for activity. This portion of the plan works well and is the reason for giving 2 stars. However, the billing for JHV is a complete and utter joke. Zero stars for this. Negative stars if I could. One, there's no way to change the checking account. You're stuck with the one you sign up with. Two, there is no online billing portal that works. There's a big, fat 401 error on the page. Three, the "automated" billing line doesn't work well. You can make a payment. One single payment. No options to set up bill pay, no option to pay by mail, Nada. Zilch. This is inexcusable for a company in 2019. The response from JHV is "oh, we'll have our new billing up and running in one week." Cool story, guys, that's been the line you've been saying for one year. Fix the problem and get with the program. This is really poor customer service.
