It’s like the longer you stay, the less they try to keep you happy.
That’s been my experience too. We bundled with a big company for years, thinking we’d get rewarded, but our rates just kept sneaking up. I’m all about stretching a dollar, so every renewal I shop around—no shame in it. Has anyone here actually seen a loyalty discount that made a real difference, or is it just marketing fluff?
Honestly, I’ve always wondered if those loyalty discounts are just smoke and mirrors. I stuck with the same insurer for nearly two decades—figured being a “valued customer” would pay off. Turns out, my neighbor switched after just five years and got a better rate than me, even with all my supposed perks. Maybe it’s just luck of the draw, but I’m starting to think loyalty only benefits them, not us.

You’re not wrong—loyalty discounts sound nice, but in practice, they’re usually just a tiny piece of the puzzle. I’ve seen folks who’ve been with the same company forever get hit with higher rates than someone who just switched. It’s wild. Sometimes I wonder if they’re banking on us not shopping around.
Loyalty’s a funny thing in insurance. I’ve seen people stick with the same company for decades, thinking they’re getting a deal, but their rates just creep up year after year. Meanwhile, someone new walks in and gets a better price. It’s not always fair, but that’s how it goes. Shopping around every couple years is honestly the best move, even if it feels like a hassle. The “loyalty discount” is usually just a fancy way to keep you from looking elsewhere.
I’ve wondered about this too—does loyalty actually get you anything? I stuck with the same company for 15 years, thinking I was being smart, but my rate just kept inching up. When I finally shopped around, I knocked almost $400 off my yearly bill. Why do they give better deals to new folks than the ones who’ve been paying forever? Feels a bit backwards, honestly. Anyone else feel like the “loyalty discount” is just a myth?
