      • Ahhh…the ole "up to"

    Sign up and start policy on 30 March but haven't receive reward points yet. How long to receive those rewards points?

    • +2

      I was told after the second payment. So, the payment after the weeks free period.

    • +1

      From an email I received from Woolworths Everyday Rewards 5 days after sign up:

      congrats on putting your health in good hands!
      Now that we've confirmed your policy details, you're on your way to exciting rewards.
      Get ready for your Everyday Rewards points
      All you need to do is sit tight. Points will land straight in your Everyday Rewards balance around 60 days after your policy start date+ (as long as you maintain your policy).

      • Lucky you, I still heard nothing until today.

  • How bad is Bupa to call!! Used the call back service twice, drops out after you press 1 twice!!

    Just wondering the best way to get a pair of Oakley RX prescription sunglasses?

    Any tips (where to get the vision test, and where to buy them)? Bupa Optical is a free eye test, but they want $550 for the glasses (entry level lenses).

    Looking at Vision Direct $269 for the same thing.

    Looks like I have $250 cover with Wellness extras.

    Sorry @easternculture … this seems to be in your wheelhouse?

      Make sure vision direct have a provide number and bill you correctly with item number and you can claim online via bupa app.

      All eye tests are free as long as you have a Medicare card. I do mine at specsavers

      • Okee dokes… Anyone else other vision direct you recommend?

        Did Specs savers give you your prescription details to take away? Need to upload into Vision direct number etc.

        • +1

          Yes they give you a printout of prescription

          • @easternculture: Just got off Phone to Bupa..asked about provider numbers etc..she said it doesn't matter where I get them from, they are just processed (refunded back to my new with the submission of an invoice) as a Bupa preferred partner ($139 for frames/ $73 for lenses) or non Bupa preferred ($115 / $49.50 lenses). I asked her about provider numbers…she says it doesn't matter..just non Bupa have a lesser claim amount…but I bet you are right over her (I'll try and work out the provider number bit).

            Also, how did you get your compound pharmacy meds claimed. She said all compound medications aren't claimable? Has to be a listed TGA approved medication?

  • I didn't notice it said 60 days of payments must be made by 'direct debit' to be eligible for the 75000 bonus edr points.
    My 1st payment was charged to my credit card at sign up and again 30 days later. It has not been 60 days since joining yet, but will I be ineligible for the bonus edr points due to paying via credit card?

    • Why didn’t you get the free 6 weeks?

      • I got the 6 weeks free but still got charged a “top up” payment after 30 days(along with the first 30 day membership upon signup). Shouldn’t be any more payments before 60 days is up though.

        • +2

          When I rang to check, they advised I got the 6 weeks free. Same as 'i like freestuff' at the top up payment after 30 days.

          • +1

            @Nat000: Thought the way that was done was pretty poor. Random email saying we will be charging you a top up payment soon.

            At least tell me when and and how much 🙄

  • Do you think I'll receive the edr points even though i paid via credit card, not direct debit ?

    • +1

      Payment method shouldn’t matter

      • I noticed it says

        1. Eligible Customer

        To be an Eligible Customer for this Offer from Bupa HI Pty Ltd (Bupa) and Woolworths Group Limited (Woolworths) (the Everyday Rewards Offer), you must be;

    Just adding an archive of the terms https://www.bupa.com.au/campaigns/health-insurance/ten-weeks… before the source disappears.

    Here's the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20240428082247/https://www.bupa.…

    I know the archive will be useful to someone (someone that didn't keep a PDF copy locally).

    Just got charged a $146 top up, my monthly payment is $222, nearly an extra payment , is that even legal to charge a random top up payment without disclosing on sign up?

    • it will be a split month thing (ie, your payments are about half way through the month). Any over payments should get refunded if/ when you move away.

      I only just got notification that my policy is now active (took just over 2 weeks)…but they still take payment dating back when I requested it to come across, not from when they finally processed it. T&Cs say it may take up to 5 business days to process…it took 11….That's dodgy in my eyes.

      • Was it the ‘catch up’ payment thing for the gap after the 6 weeks free period? So if we cancel the policy during the 6 weeks free period, can we get it refunded?

        • Yes it was the gap payment , not sure about the refund

  • Woah! be careful when you transfer out. Bupa just cancelled my new policy with HBF and tried to transfer me back without my consent!!!

    HBF told me this happens with them all the time.

    • Please jump on the AFCA website and report them. Takes 5 mins. This is not acceptable.

    Just had my first Bupa dental appointment..and what a $hit show.

    When I signed up to Bupa it said free 6 month dental check up and clean. Bupa rep pointed me towards an approved provider and sent me the find a provider link. Said as a Bupa member, there will be no charge. Called up, booked..done. Don't have my physical card yet (they said it will take 5 Business days…it's only been 12..still not here). But from my email, I had my member number and a 16 digit card number.

    Went in, had my teeth done. All good " no charge today"…just need to scan your Bupa barcode… Huh?? Showed her the blue card graphic they sent me. Nup, can't use it.

    Said I can pay, and get reimbursed later…BUT..I had no way to pay, and brought my 3yr old with me as well (so she could see Dentist are nothing to fear etc).

    Did a request call back from Bupa. Little champion waited with me for another 20 mins. Said to login and generate a barcode.

    So I enter log info, it sends a factor 2 code to my email. I enter the factor 2. It says 'the email doesn't exist"…yet it just sent me a factor 2 code.

    I said, just generate whatever the barcode is and send it to me. She sends me a link to a website that is jumbled and doesnt scroll. My phone is an Oppo A72 running Android 11 and Chrome…. Really Bupa.

    I put it in desktop mode… There is an option to get a code sent via SMS..I do this…it just sends the login link that doesn't work.

    She then asks for the treatment codes I had done. No idea why? But the ladies do some to and fro… give her the numbers..15 more mins wasted…and yep it's the free covered product.. but can't do anything because I don't have the barcode.

    My little one has now been sitting there for an hr, plus the check up hygienist session (she loved the first but, now not happy).

    Bupa Muppet goes back to "just pay ", I reiterate I don't have a payment method (have a debit card on Google pay with $50 on it…that's it).

    Dentist says there is a Bupa "shop" upstairs..maybe 100m.away. I asked Bupa support if someone can come down and sort this out..we can't go anywhere..nup.

    After 2 hrs (of my little one sitting there and upset…which makes a parent want to disembowel someone..I was on the brink on snapping)..my partner drove 1hr down to Bupa to get it sorted. Came in and got it scanned…something to do with the back end set up.

    I am filthy with the process, and how Bupa handled it. I asked to submit a formal complaint..and she asked for evidence that someone from Bupa said I can go and get my teeth done.. thankfully I recorded that conversation on my phone..date, time and length of call. 2 calls in fact..both saying "good.to.go" .. apparently someone will call me in 23 days.. I can't wait to use as much as I can and leave.

  • Anyone know how to get the Bupa " virtual card " ..thing on to Google wallet without going through the app (it keeps throwing fail messages)?
    If it helps, my partner has it on her phone. Can she simply send it across to my phone? Both running Android 11.
    Cheers
