    Of course right after I signed up two days ago when it was 110k points.

    When I installed the Well-being app it synced the last 3 months of data and gave me points for the default target, if you do more than 2k steps a day I recommend updating the target straight away in case it backtracks more points against it.

  • Gojkins on 26/04/2022 - 19:08

    Will have to do my research tonight, but has anyone sussed out what the most cost effective method is to get the points if you don't care for the health insurance?

    • Italkdigital on 26/04/2022 - 19:11

      I'd love toovknow too cheers and thanks OP👍

      And actually what worth is 140,000 Qantas points?, I guess always best deal using points for flights, I think 140,000 points would get one travelling one overseas, maybe? Honestly not sure

      Getting a CC with a 100k signup bonus is gonna trump this by a lonnnnnng margin I think :/

      • Gojkins on 26/04/2022 - 21:03

        Yeah, get that too, just considering if this is worth the hassle if you don't want or need the insurance but would love the points for future trips.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 26/04/2022 - 21:23

          You gotta hold the policy for 60 days before they give you the points , so I'd say no.

          I plugged in a random quote, skipped the hospital and only chose extras on the top level and it quoted 38400 points for 257 bucks monthly. So 500 odd bucks at least for 38K points. Pretty poor value even when compared to annual fees for platinum credit cards.

  • runamuck on 26/04/2022 - 19:22

    Not sure if anyone had any success recently however I signed up in early Feb and upgraded to higher cover before the 60 days and now 3 weeks have passed still no points let alone the max points bonus. I was passed around a few times on the call when I enquired bout it and one of the staff questioned me why I upgraded and whether its for the points. He said that I may have to wait a further 60 days on the upgraded plan if I want the max points. At the moment they are investigating so looks like they are onto it.

    • ssjmark on 26/04/2022 - 20:20

      conditions say held at that time.

      I'd cancel the policy and get them to investigate and honor it.

      • runamuck on 26/04/2022 - 20:39

        I'm just worried that if I cancel the policy before points arrive, I may forfeit everything but you are right, it says held at the time so even if I cancel it should not affect it.

        • Italkdigital on 26/04/2022 - 20:40

          Just wondering the weekly or monthly costs for the health insurance side

          • runamuck on 26/04/2022 - 20:42

            @Italkdigital: Depends on your age and income. For me, its just under 600/month for top extras and hospital.

        • ssjmark on 26/04/2022 - 20:56

          More hurdles.. but saves you $$

            • Tom088 on 03/05/2022 - 23:14

              @runamuck: Thanks for confirming - planning to do the same thing

            • rarelyscene on 08/05/2022 - 08:03

              @runamuck: Thanks for the update. Did you stay on the higher plan until they awarded the points?

              • runamuck on 08/05/2022 - 08:50
                +1

                @rarelyscene: I was on the higher plan when they awarded the points as I was still within the 30 days cooling off period. Would be good to know too if they will award me the points if I downgraded the plan before I get the points but I wont know now.

    • rarelyscene on 26/04/2022 - 20:54

      On one of the previous deals they changed the way they paid the points to be paid slowly over a few months, I guess to counter this method, surprised they reverted back to the 60 day option.

  • Frukoz on 26/04/2022 - 20:40

    To earn 140k points, you need max cover for a couple, so spending like $800+ per month. I suppose in theory, you could claim through as many of the extras as possible in the first couple of months, cancel after 60 days and it might barely be worth it. But this isn't a good deal for me.

  • RolePlayer88 on 26/04/2022 - 20:58

    do you get the points immediately after the 60 days? Thinking of cancelling immediately if that is the case

    • rarelyscene on 26/04/2022 - 21:00
      +1

      On previously deals it was reported points landed day 61-62 after the policy was taken up.

    • leeroys_dad on 14/05/2022 - 21:43

      Day 60 for me

    What's stopping you from signing up, getting a whole load of work done in week 1, and canceling two weeks later (or the day after)?

  • djz on 27/04/2022 - 06:13

    BEWARE!

    Qantas health insurance is a rebadged NIB Health insurance, widely considered in the healthcare industry as one of the worst health insurances you can have! (I work in healthcare)

    Nib are the only heath fund in Australia that still stubbornly doesn’t use a ‘known gap policy’ which means if your specialist doesn’t accept Nibs rebates as the full payment (and they won’t as they are a abysmally low) then nib will drop their rebate by 45% to Medicare rebate only (so it’s almost like you have no insurance).

    Those qantas points will cost you many thousands of dollars if you ever have surgery.

    • excite on 27/04/2022 - 08:20

      so which insurance would you recommend?

    • MBix on 27/04/2022 - 13:10

      Legitimate question - what would be the harm of going to them, claiming your 140k points after 60 days, then switching to a more reputable PHI company other than the obvious if you need to claim for something in those 60 days.

      I'm currently sitting a 12 month wait period for a surgery that comes up in December with Medibank - If I left for Qantas, got the points, then returned before December it seems like it would be okay - unless I'm missing something?

      • leeroys_dad on 14/05/2022 - 21:42

        That will be fine, just make sure the new policy covers you as the waiting periods are carried across for hospital (generally most of the time for extras too, but it's not a mandate)

    • Yola on 28/04/2022 - 17:05

      Do you know if it works like that with GU (Grand United) insurance that NIB took over a couple of years ago?

  • tlaing on 29/04/2022 - 22:22

    Has anyone had any issues if you already have private health elsewhere that you want to keep and taking out a 2nd policy with Qantas for the points?

    I'd be thinking of using the trick linked at the top to sign up for the cheapest extras and upgrade for a few days near the 60 day mark to their top coverage.

    Would it cause any issues?

    • ssjmark on 30/04/2022 - 05:59

      Hasn't for me in the past.

    • leeroys_dad on 14/05/2022 - 21:45

      Legally you can't have 2 hosp or 2 extras policies, it's fraud

      • Yola on 15/05/2022 - 08:38

        Most likely so you cannot claim twice on the same bills. But if you do not do that who will know and how did you commit fraud?

        • leeroys_dad on 15/05/2022 - 09:09

          Health fund provide data to government for tax reasons. Therefore you may end up claiming more than you should and you will be red flagged. Especially if they work out cause for receiving bonus offers vs unknowingly having 2 policies. Similarly with all types of fraud, eg Centrelink claiming, you'll be caught eventually

          For clarity, I have never held 2 simultaneous policies

        I've heard this from my mum before but I haven't been able to find anything about it online.

        Can you cite a reference?

  • leeroys_dad on 14/05/2022 - 21:41

    I'm just here providing an update, as that is my comment from OP linked to from a now closed thread

    My points landed on exactly day 60 from online sign up date. The full 120000! Bronze hospital to gold hosp&top extras as family.

    I switched on about day 52 via online website. I called up initially and the call centre agent told me even if I swap from bronze cover, I wouldn't be given the higher points. Just got rid of him and did the switch via the website instead

    • shap08 on 18/05/2022 - 09:01

      Interesting, ill see how I go. I just went the extra cover, online it will not allow me to add hospital cover.

    • Tyken on 15/07/2022 - 13:30

      I tried your trick and it worked.

      I am wondering if you have tried this trick with the BUPA plan: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/703407

      I am keen to find out if the BUPA plan operates on the same principle at the NIB/Qantas one.

  • leeroys_dad on 18/05/2022 - 11:26

    If you call up to add hospital, just ignore the agent ID they say that. You'll still qualify for the points

    • shap08 on 18/05/2022 - 11:57

      thanks!

    • ronnknee on 06/07/2022 - 11:48

      Just clarifying, did you go from Basic Extras only to Gold Hospitals and Top Extras?

  • PeeDee on 30/06/2022 - 23:54

    Hey guys, following your protocol. Still, it's a gamble so I hope it works. Signed up under Basic "Extras" the lowest tier, close to the end of the 60 days I will upgrade my insurance to the top tier "Gold Hospitals and Top Extras".

    • ssjmark on 03/07/2022 - 20:31

      Worker for me

      • PeeDee on 03/07/2022 - 20:53

      coool thanks

    • PeeDee on 15/07/2022 - 16:58

      On the first week, I got billed on the first day of joining. Then 3 days later I got billed again. Should I chat with support service?? Had I known that it starts on the Thursday cycle for a weekly plan then I would have registered on the Thursday instead of the Monday.

      • ssjmark on 15/07/2022 - 18:40

        not sure. but if you cancel and you've paid for the cycle in advance, then they'll refund you prorata.

        • leeroys_dad on 15/07/2022 - 19:59

          yep correct, doesn't matter when'/how much you are billed, you will receive a refund for anything overpaid. you only pay for days covered

          • PeeDee on 15/07/2022 - 22:54

            @leeroys_dad: is that automated or is that something you need to make a dispute?

            • leeroys_dad on 16/07/2022 - 06:13

              @PeeDee: Usually automated, definitely don't dispute, just ask nicely how the refund is being processed if they don't mention it

  • PeeDee on 04/07/2022 - 20:07

    Mod, Qantas extended their offer to end of Jul
