Do I need to be a practicing engineer qualify for the Engineering Graduates discount*?

No, but you or your spouse need to be a graduate of an accredited Canadian university engineering program.

Does the discount apply to both my Sonnet home and auto policies?

Depending on your group, some discounts will apply to both your auto and property policies, while others may apply only to one. If you’re a member of multiple groups, you can only apply one discount per policy.

How do I know if my discount has been applied?

During your home or auto quote, start typing and select your group from the dropdown, then enter your group ID. You’ll see a “Discount applied” notification appear throughout the quote flow. We’ll use the information you’ve provided to verify you are a member and automatically apply your discount.

I already have a Sonnet insurance policy. How do I add a group discount?

If you’re already a Sonnet customer, you can easily add your group discount online in a few steps:

Log in to your account.
Select the policy you’d like to add a Group Discount to.
Select Add Group Discount.
In the screen that appears, search for the name of your Group or Association and select it from the suggestions that appear. We’ll ask for your group ID to confirm your eligibility.
If you are an alumni of a Canadian University, you can also search for the name of the Canadian University you graduated from and select it from the suggestions that appear. We’ll ask you for your graduation year to confirm your eligibility.
Click Add Group.
Review your policy change and any impact to the price of your policy over the remaining policy term. Click Update Policy.
Your policy has been updated with a Group Discount. Review your updated policy payment schedule for changes to the amount of your payments.

Your group discount will automatically be applied to the selected policy. If we’re unable to verify your eligibility, then the discount will be removed.
