Hi anon,
I am reading this as you are having a limited payment whole life plan that you are paying off now, over 25 years, and you would also like to get a savings plan, with a cashback/coupon feature whereby you can do some forced savings, and then take the cash back/coupon payout from the 2nd year onwards to pay your whole life plan.
There are many plans with cashback/coupon, but I generally don't find this a good way to pay off other plan's premiums with the cash back feature. Remember that by doing so you are committing to yet another savings plan with a new tenure for your premiums.
Also, such plans don't pay a very large cash back relative to your yearly premium. If you are paying say, $2K for a whole life insurance, a cash back policy would probably require you to pay something like $4K/yr to get a cash back of $2K/yr in the second year. So your total committed premiums becomes $6K/yr. Personally I would just save the money needed from my income to pay off the $2K. However, if you can afford $6K/yr premiums in this case, then the pay off comes from the final maturity payout of the savings plan which is likely to have a fair bit of potential gain (although it will likely be completely non guaranteed)
Some plans that have such a cashback feature are:
AIA Smartrewards Saver
Aviva MyRegularPay/MyEasySaver
China Taiping i-WealthBuilder/i-Cash
AXA Savvy Saver
NTUC Gro Secure Saver/Gro Flex Saver/Gro Steady Saver
etc...
If you are looking at such plans, then consider evaluating all of them on the basis of premiums, returns, the amount of cashback, etc, in order to see which plan will suit your needs most.

Hi there!
Seems like you’re looking for something called anticipated endowment policy. Most, if not all, insurance companies have anticipated endowment policies.
As for the bonus on such policies, they are usually non-guaranteed in nature and depends on the insurance company’s investment performance over the long term.
Hope I answered your question!
