Agent

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hi there! I saw a promotion for PETLOVE — 20% off pet policies for Pet Adoption Month — and I'd like to get that applied to my account. I have a pet policy for my dog Biscuit.

Agent

Let me look up that promotion and your policy details. First, could you verify your identity — can you give me your name and either the email, phone, or date of birth we have on file?

Thanks, Harold — you're verified.

I looked up the PETLOVE promotion, and unfortunately I can't apply it right now. Here's why:

  • The promo window is October 1–31, 2025 (Pet Adoption Month). Today is June 1, 2025, so it's not active yet — and the promotion is currently flagged inactive in our system.

Even if I attached the code to your policy now, the rating engine would ignore it because we're outside the window, so it wouldn't actually give you any discount.

The good news: the offer is real, it's just seasonal. If you come back during October, I'd be happy to apply it then (it's 20% off, capped at $60 benefit, and it stacks with the paperless discount).

Is there anything else I can help you with in the meantime?

Ah, okay — that makes sense. So it only works during October then? When exactly does it come back around?

Agent

Exactly right — it only takes effect during its window. The PETLOVE promotion runs October 1 through October 31, 2025. So if you reach out any time that month, we can get it applied to Biscuit's pet policy.

A couple of quick notes for when it comes back:

  • 20% off, capped at a $60 maximum benefit
  • It stacks with the paperless discount, so if you're on paperless you'd get both
  • There's a minimum premium floor of $80 (the discount won't take your premium below that)

Anything else I can help you with today?

No, that's all I needed. Thanks for explaining that — I'll reach out in October to get it set up. Appreciate your help!
