Allstate commercial - rant
I just saw a commercial for Allstate insurance, which claims they offer you a bonus check for every six months that you go without having a car accident. They showed a stop sign, and the guy says "stopping - it's not that hard." Then they flash the bonus check. As if not killing someone, permanently disabling someone, or running over a pederstrian isn't enough incentive to stop at a stop sign already. Now we have to offer people money not to break the law and to use common sense. What are we coming to?

Sound too good to be true........
I have a hunch you "pre-pay" these "bonuses" through a slightly increased regular premium, then they rebate the overcharge if you are accident free. This more like a free loan for the insurance company.

It want change anybody's driving, Nobody will hang up and drive. It will be more like I didn't have an accident in the last six months, now pay me. The site where I work gives an incentive every month if no recordable's. People come into my office asking Did we get it this month? Its about $400.00 a month but with so many employee's its almost impossible.

All BS..I use Allstate and they aren't sending any money to us..I would agree with aerocolorado, u sign up for a 'special plan", pay an extra 40 percent premium, and Allstate gives u 3 percent back every six months.
Sounds like fraud to me.

nobody likes paying insurance period, nothing wrong with a company giving incentives to try and stay out of incidents
