Hospital and Extras Cover: 6 Weeks Free after 28 Days, 2 More Weeks Free after 13 Months @ Bupa and Everyday Rewards deal

40
8WEEKSFREE

8 weeks free, with the value of your free weeks based on your level of cover when payment is made. How it works:
In most cases, your 6 weeks free will be applied 28 days after you join, extending the date you’re “paid to”. The remaining 2 weeks are applied once you’ve held eligible cover for 13 months, extending the date that billing cycle is “paid to”.
If your weeks free period ends before your next direct debit date, we may take a smaller-than-usual payment to make up the difference.
If you join through a Bupa consultant and pay yearly, your first payment will be reduced by the value of 6 weeks. The remaining 2 weeks are applied once you’ve held eligible cover for 13 months. This means your third yearly payment will be reduced by the value of 2 weeks.

    Bupa has 2 "claim categories". One is for their "free" services (e.g. dental check ups) where they list "cost" of the free services but do not put it towards annual limits and another category is for actual annual limits. When going to another provider, both categories are summarized and treated as annual limit, e.g. Bupa's free checkup $200 and Bupa's separate fillings payment of $350 will be $550 of used annual limit with the new provider.
    This is pretty important to keep in mind when churning! Staying with Bupa you'd have $250 out of, say, $600 annual limits but with the new provider it'll be only $50.
    So, the question is, what will happen if returning back to Bupa during the same year? Any chance they can split it again (I doubt it) or just use $550+ whatever was claimed with another provider?

    • You've raised this previously, haven't you?

      How many check-ups do you have per annum?

      I have never found this to be an issue in YEARS of churning.

      • sure, not an issue if you dont use extras.
        Bupa Ultimate providers cover 100% of fillings, Xrays, etc so no out of pocket with Bupa BUT
        those "free" services' charges will be counted towards annual limits with the next provider(s).
        Good to understand how PHI works especially if someone is planning to use lots of extras when churning.

    How do you centre two codes to get 8 weeks AMD 150k ER?

    • Call them up to find out maybe

    • if you follow the everyday.com link it'll take you to Bupa and all policies will have points attached to them.
      I havent tried but if you click next and go to checkout you might be able to enter 8 weeks free promotion to have both, points and free weeks.
      60 paid days is requirement to get bonus points

      • Hmm. But you have to enter a code to get the ER points I think

        • Correct - both promos require a code.

          • @YesPleaseThankYou: I must be not looking it correctly, but I cannot find the promo code field, may I know which step that field is?

            The title needs to be updated because as mentioned, I don't think there is a way to get 8 weeks free and also rewards points.

    • Just called bupa, the answer is no.

      • Although I believe the correct answer is 'no', I would not trust anything Bupa customer service tells you.

        Too many times, Bupa customer service representatives have provided incorrect or misleading information.

        If it's important, always get it in writing.

  • A further thing that should be pointed out is that dealing with Bupa can be a nightmare — that includes obtaining promotional benefits.

    See this thread where many people experienced significant issues and frustration, often requiring involvement of the Ombudsman to reach resolution: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/836289

    If you have another fund you can go to, I strongly recommend you do that, leaving Bupa (and Medibank) as your last option.

  • Just about to leave Medibank. Any other recommendations for a churn provider til next year when my limits reset? Or should I just stick out MB til then and switch in Jan?

    • HCF offers 6 weeks free plus gc.

      • Nice. Thanks. Will check it out. Is it the first 6 weeks free?

        • You could maybe check the HCF site and let us all know 👍

  • I can't seem to find the promo code field, where is it?

    • at check out/payment. Make sure to click "APPLY"

      • Saw this on checkout - strange you need to still apply it.

  • Has anyone recently done the Qantas upgrading membership betwen days 53-60 and received the higher point offer?
