    Plus Free Personal Data Theft

    • +1

      My personal data already got stolen when I was with Medibank 4 years ago, so it’s doesn’t matter to me anymore if I sign up with them again as long as I use the same details.

    Medibank data leak extends to Australians who sought quotes from health insurance firm.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-16/ahm-quote-customers-c…

    You'd have to assume any company that's had a data breach is probably going to be more secure going forward than most of their competition though.
    They'd be putting more effort/money into making sure it never happens again than competition who potentially doesn't realise how vulnerable they potentially are.
    I could be wrong.

      I know OP will be negged for sounding naive but so far this is what we're seeing from big, public brands. The fines are much higher now, but most companies are more sensitive to the public relations and litigation mess (aside from the cost, it's a massive distraction).

      Just don't talk to Toll Group, they didn't figure that one out…

  • +1

    Yep, we were bit by the breach. Multiple times: Optus, Latitude, … (sigh). Likely more coming.

    One other benefit not mentioned above: 10,000 pts gets you $115 off a remedial massage. It was the best points-for-$ value we found. When they do the initial claim HiCAPS transaction, your $115 discount comes off it first, then your coverage (e.g. 60% of the gap), then you pay the reminder. Ours were under $115 so free massage.

    It's pretty smooth. To claim the reward:
    1. "buy" the reward in Live Better
    2. Get a massage
    3. Pay via HiCAPS (it should work if you claim but haven't tried the manual process)

  • i was looking to join medibank this week but isn't this one a better offer? 150k velocity.

    https://www.medibank.com.au/health-insurance/c/velocity/

    • UP TO. $130+ weekly spend to get 150K. Also must stay member 90 days.

    • It is only good if you have velocity membership, and in my case I only qualify for 45k points.

  • +2

    Couple of observations from my 50k points bonus last year
    - you can only redeem one policy credit per year. So whilst 50k points equals something like $500, you can only get up to $200 per year discount as that’s the biggest redemption in the store

    -The retail vouchers are single use only so plan well before redeeming

  • Medibank can get stuffed.

  • So you pay for 42days and then get the next 6 weeks free?

    • Yea correct, by the time if you can also redeem live better points for gift cards or $200 premium payment. It’s good for churners, as all of private insurance companies will start increasing the premiums from Nov this year.

  • Am I eligible if i'm switching in to medibank from an ahm cover?

    Excludes Hospital only cover, Extras only cover, Basic covers, Corporate covers, Accident Cover, Ambulance Cover, Overseas Visitors Health Insurance, Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC), Working Visa Health Insurance, ahm covers and other selected covers

    Not sure what this sentence is saying ^

    • Unfortunately you are illegible if you are switching from ahm covers as stated in the quote.

      Hi I was with AHM and I just signed up this offer. The rep said it's ok.

  • You can also get trapped in bad customer service. Last time I took this offer they messed up my transfer certificate and I have been fighting with them for 5 months to fix it. I had to get the Ombudsman involved and its stil not fixed. There is no customer service for any issues that crop up, They have a huge backlog of complaints was the latest excuse, and no pathway to sort it out. All this took a lot of time and effort out of me. I am beyond pissed.

  • YMMV but the retail vouchers can be incredibly hard to use - adidas for example you can't stack the voucher in conjunction with a website discount code, so you're stuck paying an additional 30-50% compared to everyone else. This in theory makes the premium redemption good value but you can only use this once every 12 months.

    • Why once every 12 months? If you return to them under 12m do they class it as existing customer?

      • Have tried, doesn't work. Still gotta wait it out

        • Can you redeem the points for credits against future Medibank Private premiums?

          • @delfredo: You can redeem 25,000 Live Better points for a $200 premium payment (and that is the only option for premium payments using Live Better points).

  • Would be good if I can choose my own package i.e. Top extras + lowest hospital
