Goodcover's Member Dividend

The Member Dividend is at the core of how Goodcover believes insurance should be - fair, transparent, and prudent with Member’s money. Goodcover earns a fixed fee - currently 20% of premiums plus specific fees that vary by state - for each Goodcover Policy, using the remaining 80% to meet claims obligations. Every calendar year in August, Goodcover will return to each Member, through the Member Dividend, the earned premiums paid by each Member that are not needed to meet claims obligations.

Ideally, if we are doing our job well, the amount we’ve collected in premiums should roughly equal claims obligations for the year - with a little left over, built in for safety. While we would love the Member Dividend to be paid every year, it is entirely possible that past, present and future obligations exceed the earned premiums we collected in the year. Whether a Dividend can be paid is up to the discretion of Goodcover’s board. That said, Goodcover’s policies are “non-assessable”, meaning you will not be asked for more money if claims obligations exceed premiums from the year and no Dividend is payable. For the sake of clarity, we do not expect the Dividend to ever exceed more than 10% of your premiums. In addition, whether or not Goodcover is able to pay your Dividend directly to you, indirectly through discounts or other means, or whether we'll need to accrue it for future payment is determined by state law and varies state to state.

We will keep Members up to date on how the Dividend is faring and what factors are impacting it.

Goodcover's Invitation Thank You Policy

To say Thank You to Members who invite others to become new Members, Goodcover will pay one month of the annual insurance premium that the Inviting Member owes on their Goodcover Renters Policy in California for each invited potential new Member that receives a bindable quotation from Goodcover’s website. If that new Invited Member purchases a policy from that quotation, Goodcover will also pay one month of their annual insurance premium for the Invited Member.

Eligibility Requirements: Valid in California. Void where prohibited. The maximum number of free months of insurance that an Inviting Member can earn is 24. The maximum amount Goodcover will pay towards an Inviting Member’s monthly premium or an Invited Member’s monthly premium is $20.00 each month, for each Member. Credits are not refundable, transferrable, or redeemable for cash. An Inviting Member can only earn one month of free insurance per Invitee that receives their quote. If Goodcover suspects that Inviting Members are inviting themselves or the same person more than once, or if the same person has received and accepted invitations from more than one Inviting Member, we have the right to rescind this offer to both the Inviting and Invited Members. Fake emails, fake names, fake personas etc, are not allowed as per our Fraud Warning above. Good faith or accidental double-invitations can be reported to Goodcover without further penalty, but Goodcover will charge to recoup any months of free insurance given in error.
