- Best for buyers in their 50s – USA Today gave Transamerica’s Trendsetter® Super term life insurance policy a four star rating due to the product having some of the lowest premiums for individuals in their 50s. The newspaper also noted that Transamerica’s maximum issue age is 80 — one of the highest amongst the insurance companies reviewed.
