GREAT Term (original)

The ~2019–2025 flagship that covered to age 100. No longer on Great Eastern’s current term-life page — existing policies continue on their original contract terms.

The original GREAT Term succeeded Supreme Term as GE's agency flagship around 2019: 6-year terms up to age 100 (next birthday), death and terminal illness on the base plan, TPD and CI as riders, and the conversion privilege to age 70 that GREAT Term 2 retains.

Its 2022 brochure allowed online purchase up to S$300,000 on just two health questions. The product page now redirects, and the August 2025 brochure refresh had already capped cover at age 85 — the age-100 option quietly disappeared on the way to GREAT Term 2.

Still holding a GREAT Term (original) policy?

An adviser can help you:

  • Read your original policy contract and confirm exactly what it still covers
  • Compare keeping it against replacing it — legacy plans are sometimes worth keeping
  • Check whether current Great Eastern plans fill any gaps it leaves
