Medibank is stepping up its support of Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine roll out by rewarding customers for getting the jab.

Eligible customers who are fully vaccinated will receive 1,000 Live Better Rewards points from early next month, by logging the activity in the Live Better Rewards app.

Live Better points can be used by eligible Medibank customers towards gift cards or products from partners including Adidas, Amcal, Apple, Brooks, Fitbit and Onsport. Customers can also choose rewards including saving on their health cover or getting more on their extras like a remedial massage. Customers who are fully vaccinated will be rewarded with Live Better points to the equivalent value of a $10 Amcal gift card.


Mod 2/9: This deal is supposed to start 'early this month' without a date specified, this wasn't reported on posting (we usually remove deals without a dedicated start date). We have set an arbitrary start date of 6/9 13/9 for now, please report the deal if you see it become available.

    is Medibank Live better program any good?

      It's a lot of effort to check in all your activities. It you can link to your step tracker which makes some a bit easier. The rewards aren't that great but still free stuff I guess

      Can redeem for e-gift cards from a limited number of retailers which gives some flexibility I guess

      I tend to redeem all mine for Amcal

    • only if you get vaccinated, they might be planning to cancel memberships of people who have not got the Jab lol.

    That NSW minister got Bells Palsy from a vaccine for sure, did anyone see the droopy eyes?, apparently Pfizer and Sionvac both cause Bells Palsy, read on it. in Canada the label of Prizer vaccine warns of Bells Palsy as a side effect.

            Many videos have surfaced of people putting a small magnet on the injection site and it sticking.

            Only pages I couldnt find were the one about how Elvis is still alive and says covid doesnt exist, the one where Area-51 had reports of covid 2 years before China, and the true source of vaccines being based on DNA extracted from bigfoot.

    • got Bells Palsy from a vaccine for sure

      got Bells Palsy after a vaccine for sure.
      Have you seen a report saying it was due to it?

      The increase in Bells Palsy in regular population v post pfizer vaccine isnt a huge difference (it is one of the rare side effects of most vaccines)

      Same rare side effect as hepatitis vaccines for example

        I don't need a report to assume anything, I'm sure you make assumptions on things to and honestly who cares you are entitled to your opinion, I can assume what I want and use a bit of common sense .glad you can talk, you haven't had this condition have you? sometimes its irreversible. also do you think a government minister would openly say a vaccine caused it when they are trying to get people vaccinated?

  • -6

    Lol @ getting vaccinated for something that literally has a 99.999% survival rate among people with an already healthy immune system.

    If you are terminally ill, immune comprimsed, or chronically ill (40% of people are obese and fall into this category) then go for it….but you 40% with obesity would be better off evaluating your lifestyle choices as the vaccine doesnt prevent cardiovascular disease.

    • +5

      Nah mate, no critical thinking here. You need another round of brainwashing.

      • +8

        People let the media do the thinking, people stopped thinking long time ago.

        • +1

          Thinking is hard. Why do that when you can spend time watching Netflix during the lockdown and procrastinate (work?) from home and still get paid?

            • @SBOB: hahahaha come on man come up with something better? isn't that the exact same thing you are doing posting on OZB?(except for t he thinking bit of course)

      • -1

        So, just to clarify, our only two options either:

        • Trust government, protect community;

        Or

        • Don't trust government, potentially die from or spread disease to others?
    • +12

      That survival rate is a little incorrect but, remember that survival rates don't include
      - Hospital admissions
      - ICU admissions
      - Induced comas to be on a ventilator
      - Symptoms which are seemingly permanent; all food tastes foul, smell is foul/lost, constant fatigue, aches and pains, dizziness, prolonged difficulty breathing, memory problems, heart problems
      - Organ damage (heart, lungs, brain)

      The list is endless, and it's all considered survival. It's really not that hard to get a throughly tested and approved vaccine - and it's even easier to stop telling people not to get it :D

    • +7

      Even if you believe that (and it's not true) you're failing to consider the other people you'll kill by passing it on. And the effects of long covid, and even the effects of standard covid on your body and brain.

      • +1

        Heres the thing!

        Getting the vaccine doesnt prevent you from getting Covid or spreading Covid.

        So I ask…..why get the vaccine if you are a healthy indiviudal?

        • +3

          Because being healthy isn't a 100% safeguard from covid and the effects mentioned.

        • +5

          Being a healthy individual doesn't prevent you from dying of covid. Anyone can die of covid. The human body is naive to this coronavirus (that's what "novel" means) so doesn't know how to defend against it. COVID-19 also causes long-term damage in the body and brain in people who have had it. Getting the vaccine massively reduces the effect of the illness and takes your chances of hospitalisation and death to near zero.

          Yes, like any vaccine it's still possible to get the illness and spread the illness, but your viral load will be far, far smaller so the severity of your illness and the chances of you spreading it are much lower. Stop questioning science and go get vaccinated.

          • -2

            @Morven: Looks like you got the media talking points on hand ready to go. It's like listening to The Project

            • @splitatom: It's called medical information. You know, science.

        • +4

          Getting the vaccine doesnt prevent you from getting Covid or spreading Covid.

          Wearing a bullet proof vest in a conflict zone doesnt stop you being shot, so why do they wear them?

          • @SBOB: I think you've made the Pete Evan sheepies head explode!

        • +1

          Getting the vaccine does increase the chances that the virus will not replicate to the infectious stage, and also decreases the amount of time it takes for your body to eliminate the virus, whilst limiting viral load. Both of these factors reduce the chances that you will pass on the virus to others.

        • +4

          Getting the vaccine doesnt prevent you from getting Covid or spreading Covid.

          The same way seatbelts dont stop you dying in a car accident. But they are still worth wearing. Its not 100% protection, but because it significantly decreases the chances you are symptomatic, it decreases viral load, and it significantly prevents you from passing it on. Heres a study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01316-7

          Also young healthy people are dying from the Delta variant. Even if you dont die, you may end up in hospital, or ICU.

            I'm trying to answer your question in good faith, and hoping you are actually an inquisitive person who didnt know. But im probably wasting my breath. The thing is, these claims are easy to understand and this data is more available than ever. But so many people arent interested in actually looking for information from diverse sources, or understanding anything beyond a primary school level

          So I ask…..why get the vaccine if you are a healthy indiviudal?

          Painkillers don't work 100% of the time for every person so I have to ask why is anyone ever taking painkillers? That's what your argument sounds like…

    Negged, trash deal, get vacced for -10$? On a amcal card? How is this even a deal? Also sets a dangerous president in the guise of a “promo” and crappy one at that. And before all the legendary doctor experts of this website say “well you don’t have to get the deal, no one’s forcing you bs” not the point, they’re essentially “rewarding” you with a trashy $10 amcal card and happy for you to assume all risk associated with getting jabbed with a experimental vac that isn’t even fully approved by the TGA yet.

      Have an upvote. These people who like to attack "anti vaxxors" are fear filled lunatics. To think one would be demonized because they make the decision not to take an experimental vaccine. And to be offered such pitiful rewards/deals in an attempt to encourage uptake of an experiment vaccine is insulting.

      • +1

        Wouldn't the ones afraid of a vaccine that claim it's 'experimental' be the fear filled ones?

          I'm in no rush mate, happy to let the ones who think they need it to go ahead of me in the vaccine queue. I'd hardly call that fearful. I'm interested to see how well the vaccine actually works over longer time periods and how often booster shots are required. Perhaps my odds are better bet with a natural immunity, as I am in a low risk category to begin with. But thanks for your reply and the implication that I am like a child who is afraid to get a needle

            But we thank you for your sacrifice. Do you volunteer as tribute?
            If only covid selectively infected those who clearly have superior 'natural' immunity we might not have this problem

          • @[Deactivated]: I respect your decision - good on you. Need more people in society who think their immune systems (often referring to them as strong) will help them beat Covid.

            Hoping if/when you get it you aren't like many who have suffered that minor side effect being part of the cytokine storm; you know; the fatal one. Weak immune systems thankfully don't have this minor side effect of morbidity (phew for me with my weak immune system!).

      "the legendary doctor experts of this website"
      Isn't that what you are being with your claims about the vaccine?

      • -1

        It’s not a claim it’s a fact look it up it’s not that hard, I claimed nothing other than it’s not TGA approved, it’s “conditionally approved” thus making it essentially an experimental drug brought forwarded with you as the lab rat. Straight from your overlords website, enjoy https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-vaccines

        • +1

          Maybe you yourself should have a read through that site on what actually happens prior to it being released it to the masses.

          It's also a fact that "Following a thorough and independent review, the TGA has decided that the following vaccines meet the high safety, efficacy and quality standards required for use in Australia.". I trust the word of these doctors, researchers and my local doctor to make an informed decision more than you.

            @Gehirn: I think you legit have rocks in your head or you just straight up don’t want to listen, when did I say or give any medical advice?

    I'm pro vax but I also agree this is a nonsense deal and think that in this time of misinformation and hesitancy, these types of silly incentives arent leading to any better outcomes and muddy the waters further.

    Heres why peopleshould get vaccinated. The vaccines have been proven, by numerous studies and independant sources of data across the world, to reduce the probability you get covid, the probability you get very sick from covid, the probability you die from covid, and the probability you pass it on to a friend, loved one or someone else in the community. If that doesnt convince you, im not sure what will.

    Australia's vax roll out is so incredibly slow that we have the luxury of seeing the impact on other countries. The data is there. If that isnt enough - nothing will be.

      The key is being able to explain it to someone like my neighbour. I've only just met her this week and ran into her while getting in my car a couple of times. She's told me that she's hopeful about the vaccine president Trump introduced but also that she's waiting till all her friends and family have been vaccinated so she can ensure there are no side effects. I'm in suburban Sydney not USA.

      I've decided it's not worth engaging any further and told her I'm in a huge hurry (to get away from idiots)…

      • +2

        You might find you are surrounded. Just look in here. At the of end day we do what we do. They can't make vac mandatory. Unfortunately Trump just called out all those idiots (70 mill) there, and now the ones here have come out.Frightening isn't it.

  • Didn't Telstra just say they're paying $200? Now that's one real incentive.

  • Does no one sick of hearing (everyday) the news (and governments) keep saying; Record number of people turn up to get a jab here and there bla bla….. with video of vaccination centre swamped by young adults queuing for pfizer - while there are many people 50-60 yo still cannot get bookings? Any tips to jump the queue legally?

    • +1

      Go back in time when young people could not get it, and 50-60 could. Or don't be picky about which vaccine (if you can get either).

  • Anyone here who tried to find this promo within the Medibank Privates Live Better app?
