The very first policyholder to win the grand prize of Rs. 250,000 in the AIA Real Rewards is a young housewife, Disna Malkanthi Silva. She is among the 50 lucky monthly winners in the recently-launched competition designed to reward and recognise loyal customers. The first draw was held in August and the lucky winners were picked out using a specially-developed electronic system. The lucky winners were randomly selected in the presence of a panel of judges that included representatives from the Dept. of Revenue – Western Province and Jayasinghe & Co, Chartered Accountants as well as AIA’s Internal Audit.

It was a completely unexpected and delightful surprise for her. She had invested in a life insurance policy from the Mawanella Area Development Office and the fact that she had placed a standing order for the regular premium payment increased her chances of winning. More importantly, the standing order would ensure that the premium payments would never lapse and she and her loved ones would undoubtedly enjoy the protection benefits of the policy. Other lucky winners in the first ever AIA Real Rewards won prizes ranging from refrigerators, LED TVs to smart phones and other sought after items of great value. 50 lucky policyholders are selected every month and their names are uploaded on the corporate website www.aialife.com.lk after the draw. Head of Marketing Suren Perera said: “AIA Real Rewards clearly expresses our sincere appreciation of our policyholders by rewarding them. AIA strongly believes in helping customers to fulfill their dreams and aspirations and even go to the extent of finding out what their needs are through regular, extensive in-depth research. As a result we are able to add real value to their lives with endeavours such as this monthly reward scheme.”
