Spotted this on the Telstra Plus page, seems like a nice freebie. Might come in handy at some point to be eligible for purchases with minimum point spends.

Thank you for making a difference

We’re supporting the COVID-19 vaccination program. From late Sept, Telstra Plus members who confirm they’re fully vaccinated by 31 Jan get 2,500 points and the chance to win 5 million points and credit on eligible Telstra services for a year.

Telstra Plus members can upload their COVID-19 vaccine document number via the My Telstra app from late September. The 2,500 points will appear in your points balance within 14 days within the app.

FAQ:

I’ve only received one jab. Can I still get the 2,500 Telstra Plus points?

  • Unfortunately, no. The offer is only open to Telstra Plus members who are fully vaccinated but the program is open until the end of January 2022 so you can apply for the points once you’ve received your second jab.

How do I find my COVID-19 digital certificate document number?

  • After you have your second jab, your COVID-19 Digital Certificate will be available through your Medicare account. If you don’t have the Medicare app, or don’t have a MyGov account, you can get help via the “How to get proof of your COVID-19 vaccinations" page.

I have a number of family members with different services on the same account, can we all receive the 2,500 bonus points if we’re all vaccinated?

  • Yes. Points are awarded at the member level so all Telstra Plus members on the account can claim the points.

As always, enjoy :)

    Hi all, in case anyone has been having trouble, there is a defect on the Telstra Plus form that expects the digital document number to start with 1000xxxxxxxx. But all current digital certificates begin with 1001xxxxxxxx. I've explained this to a chat agent, but they're not exactly picking it up very easily. They'll need to fix the form validation issue for any recently vaccinated customers to take up this offer.

    • tanoshiiki on 02/12/2021 - 16:23

      Thank you. This is my issue I think.

      I found an old certificate I sent for another reason which started with 1000 and it worked.

              @alidli: Your argument is that these measures haven't brought covid spread to 0. Seatbelts, motorcycle helmets and speed limits have also failed to bring road deaths to 0.

              Reasons neither have worked to get everything to 0:
              1. Non compliance.
              2. Other risk factors (centralised aircon, oil on the roads, etc).
              3. These policies are the best we have, but nothing in life is guaranteed.

              So why isn't that working to curtail the spread of covid then?

              Because of the people that aren't social distancing, wearing masks and cleansing.

              Most of the people catching covid are catching it from friends and family who they are meeting up with and ignoring the lockdown rules.

                  Many corporate businesses also provide incentives, such as cheaper gym memberships etc, well being days etc.

            @furyou: Actually they're not. So far Australia has had zero influenza deaths (from about a 1000 deaths) and only 450 cases total (mostly in overseas quarantine). Makes sense. Our lockdown and distancing which isn't enough to stop delta is more than enough to stop a less infective virus. Still have a ton of common cold and rsv though.

        • Ezuku on 02/09/2021 - 23:19

          Isn't it? We seem to have inadvertently wiped out influenza in Australia. By trying to hammer down a far more infectious virus it seems that it was more than enough to completely crush a less infective one.

          Unfortunately I'm sure it'll be back eventually.

      It's an implicit expense that will pay for itself in the long run. By getting vaccinations up, we can achieve that 70% target, which will allow retail and other businesses to open up again, leading to more spending. 2,500 Telstra points is nothing for a company that used to hold a monopoly on broadband networks across Australia.

      It's not discrimination, they're not forcing you to provide proof of vaccination to use their services. They're saying if you do, you get a benefit.

      It's literally no different to a loyalty/seniors card. Coles doesn't force you to sign up to flybuys, but you can't get points unless you do.

      Same here… they have reduced my upload speeds. 100/40 is now 50/17… and wants more money to get the same speed 🤷‍♂️
      But when I look around, most retailers are doing the same thing… not sure what's going on. Probably they are following the same.

      • Arkhxm on 30/09/2021 - 10:53

        NBN charging ISO's more. During peak covid lockdowns, prices dropped as more customers were utilising NBN. They also needed to introduced higher speeds like the 100/40, 250/40 and the 1000/40.

        I think it was around November last year NBN began increasing prices again since we were exiting lockdown. I don't believe anything has changed again. Basically the margins ISO's make on NBN isn't really that high. So with price increases, especially for the higher bandwidth speeds, ISO's are increasing their prices.

        Aussie Broadband did it too. I was with them. Great company, but I moved to Telstra for the same speeds with the added Modem (better than the crap AB gives) and telstra plus service

    • StarvingOat on 02/09/2021 - 20:47

      Is their NBN good latency and packet loss wise?
