      Your bupa number is not the same as your credit card number :)

    • ahara on 31/12/2015 - 15:44

      You need to put your valid credit card details if you order an item that is more than 1cent
      The step to enter your BUPA details is AFTER the payment screen

      Happy new year

  • congo on 31/12/2015 - 15:32

    It is one per BUPA member number.

  • FindMeADeal on 31/12/2015 - 15:34

    It was showing $50 less on the total order but after payment it ignored the $50 and showed the total amount before discount… normal? Or the discount didnt apply.. ?

    • vandelay on 31/12/2015 - 16:45

      same, doesnt look like it applied… i cancelled

      • FindMeADeal on 31/12/2015 - 16:49

        Can you cancel after paying for it? I have received the order confirmation. Can i cancel now?

        • vandelay on 01/01/2016 - 10:57

          sorry i meant i emailed orders email to request cancellation..
          i ordered two kids pairs, invoice only showed one pair with -$50 discount, however discount was ignored and total amount still applied.

    Farrrr outt!! My code didn't apply properly, and before you get a chance to clarify your order, it just says that I've paid with my credit card!!

    I clicked update several times but as that didn't work I thought the code would just be applied since I typed it in.

    So pi**ed off now!! I called the support line and I'm sure they were just hanging up the phone… There was still half an hour left until 5pm, but I guess NYE gets people acting funny if they're at work, and didn't want to take the call :(

    Website ask" are you bupa member?"
    Then "please enter you member number"

    If someone lied twice, at least keep quiet, because that is just wrong.. Period.

  • David76 on 31/12/2015 - 17:41

    Even without the code will I still get the free pair with my bupa number?

    • Limitless on 31/12/2015 - 18:36

      Unlikely, looks like the code was promotional and has ended.

      their confirmation email does say 14 business days

    • drunkendoody on 08/01/2016 - 15:20

    Just got this email:

    "Dear XXX,

    Thank you for visiting our Bupa Optical Sunglass Clearance website and ordering sunglasses.

    As noted on our website, this was a limited stock sale and orders have greatly exceeded our ability to supply, so your order could not be fulfilled.

    We will refund the full amount of your order directly to your credit card as soon as possible, within a maximum of 30 business days…."

  • [Deactivated] on 08/01/2016 - 21:17

    considering switching to Medibank, at least they don't lie.

    • aec on 08/01/2016 - 22:48

      whats good you can get from medibank? i am with medibank.

  • aero8 on 08/01/2016 - 21:17

    Refunded $0. Got 30% off instead "SUNNY30"

  • Odin on 08/01/2016 - 21:17

    Scumbags. I highly doubt they were out of stock. Considering the website updated dynamically based on their stock levels. More likely they just didn't want to fulfill.

    I'm so sick of BUPA, I'll be moving to a different insurer. They've given me nothing and constantly been a pain to deal with.

  • R6 on 08/01/2016 - 21:19

    I actually ordered 2 pairs, first order are free glasses and the second order I actually paid $77, now both got cancelled.

    Wait…. what? :(

  • meffisto on 08/01/2016 - 23:07

    received the same email. But under the Australian Consumer Law, businesses must not accept payment for products or services they do not intend to supply. There was no "limited stock sale" mentioned on their web page prior to check-out. Their web page was still accepting new orders for this product, and the Postage information on my order confirmation is 6 business days.

  • dandandan on 09/01/2016 - 00:31

    Make the process a little more difficult for them and lodge credit card charge backs and paypal disputes.

    Bummer, yeah got the same email. Ahh well. The 30pc discount given as 'compensation' is a bit of a joke too as it only applies to 'regular priced' items which are way overmarked initially anyway.

    No doubt they stuffed up the implementation initially. Unintentional incompetence.

  • mackaxx on 09/01/2016 - 08:27

    I've recoeved one cancellation email but not one for my other order, did anyone receive multiple emails?

    200+ votes on this and 300+ votes on the other bupa deal, and the deals aren't even honoured. Too many trigger happy ozbargainers just voting +1 instantly. There should be an option for deals that if they turn out to not be honoured, all votes should automatically turn into neg votes.

  • unity1 on 10/01/2016 - 11:05

    Received a cancellation too but not sure whether it was for this deal or the other deal. No order number in the cancellation email so I can't tell.

  • jiaqi518 on 10/01/2016 - 12:00

    My status is Processing while I have got cancellation email. What is happening?

  • unity1 on 10/01/2016 - 23:00

    One refund already received. I don't see the need to initiate a charge back. They have sent an email acknowledging you will receive your refund. I honestly don't think they will take 30 business days.

  • kyloren on 11/01/2016 - 09:33

  • MiniMad on 12/01/2016 - 15:02

    I've lodged a complaint with Fair Trading online - easy to do - provide screenshots of items still for sale. This is considered bait tactics and if a few of us complain they will initiate a formal investigation.

    Online form is here:
    https://www.cas.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/.../GeneralForm.html

    Items are still for sale for everything i ordered, some still at the sale price. I've taken a copy of their website with all the sale prices in case they pull them down - you can access here: https://app.box.com/s/9nl6fujll41ihexkhimjom9ujdi219m9 You can provide with the Fair Trading report.

    This is super dodgy because they still have stock online and in store, they simply don't want to fulfill ANY orders at the discounted price.

    • mackaxx on 14/01/2016 - 13:57

      No stock of the ones I ordered. Are yours still there?

      • MiniMad on 20/01/2016 - 07:56

        Yep mine are still for sale

        • matt_will_fix_it on 20/01/2016 - 10:20

          So if they are still for sale, just buy them again. Whats the issue?

        • MiniMad on 25/01/2016 - 13:26

          @matt_will_fix_it: The issue is they are still at the sale price $110 vs $275 RRP but when i purchased i used thepromo code for $50 off = $60

          They are saying they have no stock at the sale price which is obviously not true.

    • MiniMad on 14/01/2016 - 15:22

      Who did you go with? - I need to put some time aside to compare policies, maybe we can all arrange a mass OB offer for those of us who want to switch. I'm sure there would be a salesman looking to meet some quota :)

      • thord on 18/01/2016 - 14:13

        Went between Frank and Medibank.

        Ended with medibank due to their gapcover policy.

        Honestly, health insurance is utter shit. It's the most deliberately complicated and horrible shit imaginable. The whole thing about "no gap" actually meaning "yes, gap", and "known gap" meaning no gap, but maybe a gap. It's hell.

        You actually find out a lot more about policies by going to the "provider" section of the insurer website and pretending to be a doctor than you do on the consumer side.

    Hi All.
    I just registered to be able to comment on BUPA recently online offer. I think the offer leaves a lot of ?????. Thanks to Dandandan for BUPA MD email address. I just wrote to him to complain not only on the 30days for a refund but also my account was debited for declined purchased and their non reply to my mail enquiry regarding this matter. This show how efficient they are. Someone mentioned doggy n I concur. Will update once I receive MD's reply.

  • mvp88 on 15/01/2016 - 15:40

    Hi All

    Thought I would register as well as I just got a reply from BUPA regarding my complaint I sent for the order being cancelled:

    Thank you for your recent enquiry and I apologise for the delayed response.

    The purpose of the stock clearance page from which you made your order is to clear out some limited stock items. These were only available while stocks last. Given we do not advertise these discounted items, we have not previously experienced the surge in demand that occurred when a link to this page was added to Ozbargain.com.au

    The interest generated by this clearance far exceeded our expectations. We acknowledge this error and apologise for allowing orders to be placed after the clearance stock had been depleted. The reduced prices do not apply to newer models of sunglasses which have replaced the limited stock items. We are taking steps to ensure this kind of error does not occur again.

    As we are not able to supply your online purchase at the reduced price a full refund is being provided.

    I can understand being upset about the delay in receiving a refund but rest assured we are working as hard as we can and have already started providing refunds. 30 days is the maximum time it will take but some refunds have already been processed and we hope to have them all done well before the 30 day mark.

    Once again I apologise for the delay and we’ll process your refund as soon as we can.

    What a joke… will be lodging a complain with fair trading as per the above link!

    • King Tightarse on 15/01/2016 - 17:15

      Their responce seems perfectly reasonable, logical and polite.
      What you seem to be saying is "wah WAH I didn't get the free crap I was hoping for. Wah WAH wah"
      We are living in the time of the self-righteous narcissists. It is ugly.

      • mvp88 on 15/01/2016 - 21:44

        Perfectly reasonable that it could take up to 6 weeks to receive a refund? Most definitely not!
        Polite yes, but not logical - they have the item back in stock!
        And yes I am disappointed not to get the sunglasses that I PAID $44 for.

  • DrC on 19/01/2016 - 16:46

    Did anyone receive their orders? I had both mine cancelled - one of which they took money from my credit card for. Not impressed. Scam.

    Have had no replies from multiple contacts via their website, despite saying less than 24 hours for a reply. Same deal with Harvey Norman. I'm changing healthcare providers, this is just unacceptable.

  • cv05 on 27/01/2016 - 19:09

    Has anyone received their refund yet? Not me!
