        Not sure how this is related.

        • NoBargainNoLife on 30/12/2024 - 15:19

          Paranoid and stupid.

          • bboz on 30/12/2024 - 15:33

            @NoBargainNoLife: Is that directed at me?

            Were you affected by the Medicare hack yourself? Were you personally affected by their incompetence? I'm not sure how you can classify calling these clowns out as paranoid.

            Oh I just realised you are the poster of this deal. Perhaps you are the paranoid one, thinking I'm attacking you? Believe me, my original comment was directed squarely at Medibank, not you.

    called them as a current member and they gave me 4 weeks free. didn't give me any live better points though

      • bansharkfin on 30/12/2024 - 15:11

        Can't find if waiting period is waived do you happen to know cheers

        • BargainMe on 30/12/2024 - 15:49

          It's waived if you've already got coverage of it.

        • YesPleaseThankYou on 30/12/2024 - 17:37

          It's in the first paragraph on the promotional page.

          We'll also waive 2&6 month waiting periods on extras.

      Great that you got that, but they won't do that on every occasion.

      The only way to make significant savings on your private health insurance premiums is to churn regularly.

  • retnup on 30/12/2024 - 15:01

    What does 25,000 points get ya?

    • Mike Nolan on 30/12/2024 - 15:19

      A few examples

      20k will get you a $200 voucher for Adidas, Brooks, Youfoodz or Hellofresh

      22k will get you AirPods 4

      25k will get you Beats Studio Buds or a $200 credit towards your policy

      40k AirPods Pro

      65k Apple Watch 10

      90k AirPods Max

      • everydayimbargaining on 30/12/2024 - 20:40

        Is it like credit cards where voucher is most valuable and credit is least valuable?

    • circle9nine on 01/01/2025 - 13:13

      I've had good value in the past redeeming for amcal vouchers - 1000 pts per $10 - based on redeeming points for money I was going to spend anyway.

      • YesPleaseThankYou on 01/01/2025 - 13:15

        Yeah, that's all I have redeemed my points for. Gone into the local Amcal and bought up a bunch of things that I didn't need that then expired 🤷‍♂️

  • cerealsmok3r on 30/12/2024 - 15:14

    Is this similar to the previous phi deals?

    The GMHBA free weeks will finish in January. Might be a good time to switch now.

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 30/12/2024 - 17:35

      Maybe, or wait until 1 January 2025 and see what new deals are posted.

      Some funds may post new deals automagically on 1 January. Others with less sophisticated content management systems may update websites manually—we might have to wait until 6 January to see those offers.

      Thanks mate. Legend. Good to be careful these days especially since the BUPA shit show.

        Can you imagine how much worse it will get when this is implemented?

        Private health giant Bupa will move part of its customer service centre offshore in another blow to the fund’s 4 million members, who will soon lose access to Australia’s second-largest private hospital network.

        Bupa staff were informed this week that the company would outsource its digital customer service platform to a team in the Philippines from the middle of next year, affecting 140 staff.

        …

        One employee, who spoke under the condition of anonymity to protect their employment, said leadership did not plan to share the news with their members “as it’s not policy to inform them of changes to business operations”.

        “I think policyholders would be interested to hear that their sensitive medical data, as well as other sensitive documents such as copies of passports, will be handled overseas,” the employee said.

  • MagicTsukai on 30/12/2024 - 21:21

    When is the best last date to churn to Medibank usually?

  • Brick50 on 30/12/2024 - 22:31

    Currently don’t have any PHI

    I did a quote for me and partner for: Medibank Bronze Plus Progress and Essential Extras
    It is $244 a month

    Can we sign up for the 1 month, receive 50k points and redeem 2x AirPods 4 and cancel straight away?

    It says you must maintain cover for 28 days and then you will receive the points within 8 weeks. I’m assuming that you’re ok to cancel after the 28 days and you can still access the points even after cancelling?

    Does that sound plausible or am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    • NoBargainNoLife on 31/12/2024 - 12:46

      Why would you cancel immediately when you get 4 weeks free after the paid first 4 weeks?
      Just cancel somewhere near the end of the 8 weeks after using the points.

      • YesPleaseThankYou on 31/12/2024 - 13:36

        End the policy on the last free day. It's what I do with every churn.

        Next day, the new policy starts.

        • Brick50 on 31/12/2024 - 14:06

          Thanks guys that is what I meant, don't know why this isn't more popular then.

          Getting more than your money back plus free dental check and I'll buy a new pair of prescription glasses and get $150 back on them as well

          • YesPleaseThankYou on 01/01/2025 - 12:59

            @Brick50:

            that is what I meant, don't know why this isn't more popular then.

            Sorry, I still don't know what you mean or what your question is.

            • Brick50 on 01/01/2025 - 14:47

              @YesPleaseThankYou: If I posted a deal saying you could get a pair of Airpod pro's for $244 it would gain a lot more traction.
              The added benefit is also the cover, so I will get a free dental check up as well and a new pair of glasses for free

              I'm saying people don't seem to be noticing this deal for how good it is, given it has such few + votes

                @Brick50: Very true but I am not surprised. Less than half of Australians have PHI, and many are unwilling to switch providers due to fear or the perception that it requires too much effort so they keep paying the "lazy tax". Personally I only began switching providers in 2024 after being with the same provider for many many years.
