Rebating
The correct answer is rebating. Rebating is an illegal trade practice where a producer offers anything of value not specified in the insurance contract as an inducement to purchase a policy. Examples include refunding part of the premium, paying the premium for the client, offering special services, or giving valuable gifts.
