Customer Experience - 4.9 / 5

AIG Direct has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Although the company mostly has negative reviews on their profile, they are very few (9) when considering the amount of customers this company services (over a million). It's also worth noting that none of these negative reviews seem to be about AIG Direct's final expense insurance. Although the number of NAIC total complaints may seem high at 446, it's important to note that these statistics refer to the underwriter for AIG Direct, American General, which may be the underwriter for multiple insurance agencies. They do not refer to AIG Direct specifically.
