      Well, the horses bolted from Optus + SA Govt hacks, so Medibank's leak was the 3rd time for me (that I know of). That's the world we live in now.

      • mlakmlak on 02/06/2025 - 20:58

        gotta be in it to win it

  • Jadeja on 02/06/2025 - 14:58

    Thank OP

  • dangerdanger on 02/06/2025 - 15:00

    Thanks OP, I did not know about this.

  • trixieb on 02/06/2025 - 15:01

    Thanks OP. Wasn't easy to spot on the app.

      Even though it's on the front page lol. I went straight to earn more.

      • trixieb on 02/06/2025 - 15:05

        Lol Same.

  • kaij on 02/06/2025 - 15:02

    Thanks OP, activated

  • Cheappy on 02/06/2025 - 15:03

    Thanks OP

  • HeyJes on 02/06/2025 - 15:04

    Thanks. Although I don’t know if any of the rewards are good…..

    • Moo Deng on 02/06/2025 - 15:37

      Apple Watch or use towards payment of your premium

      • glyptothek on 02/06/2025 - 15:39
        +1

        yup - do $200 premium payment, then a month or 2 later $100 premium payment - both in Financial Year 25/26

        • sophiie on 02/06/2025 - 16:00

          Why FY 25/26?

      • sophiie on 02/06/2025 - 16:01

        Is the Apple Watch actually good value for the points? I also don't know what to use the points on…

        • lint on 02/06/2025 - 17:02
          +2

          Yes, from my experience, the rate for the Apple Watch is generally 100pts = $1 value or thereabouts, similar to the gift card options.

          Using points towards premium payments doesn't seem like a good deal in comparison - it looks like 125pts = $1 value if you choose to do that.

          • whitlam on 02/06/2025 - 17:29

            @lint: Also depends how much you can sell it for.

            I have been using the premium reward as I CBF selling something for a bit more.

    • b0b0 on 02/06/2025 - 17:50
      +2

      Free is free :D

      I dont mind an additional $50 iconic gift card or two 😀

      Thanks OP!

    • Suzique on 03/06/2025 - 11:55
      +3

      I had a day procedure in hospital and with a $500 excess, I could use my rewards to reduce the excess to only $250. Win/win, as that also means my premiums are cheaper with the $500 excess.

  • cryptowiz on 02/06/2025 - 15:05

    Thanks OP.

  • adam on 02/06/2025 - 15:07

    "This activation also applies for other eligible members 16 years or over on your policy. Points will be credited to their Live Better rewards accounts". That good I guess, not just once per account, but for every member.

    • knobbs on 02/06/2025 - 15:20

      How do other members get an account if I am the policy holder?

      • adam on 02/06/2025 - 15:30
        +1

        Login to medibank using their name/identity thats on the card, setting up a new account if they need to

      • Pobman on 02/06/2025 - 15:56

        I had to get in contact with support and have them link emails and phone numbers to the other members first, after that they were able to create their own accounts.

  • Anthonese on 02/06/2025 - 15:07

    Thanks OP, I also saw the offer on the homepage of my Medibank app

  • jackedd on 02/06/2025 - 15:10

    Would this count towards the annual point limit of 40k? I reach this annual point limit regardless of this offer anyway so if this does count towards the limit it means these extra points are kind of worthless anyway.

    • cheaplee on 02/06/2025 - 15:29

      That's kind of the point I suppose. I wonder how long it will take to actually get the points. I was going to churn, now I want my points! In reality it's only a week of policy payment, but it might take them 8 weeks to credit them…

    • sophiie on 02/06/2025 - 16:00

      When you reach the point cap, can you simply use the points and then collect more?

      • whitlam on 02/06/2025 - 16:40

        I think it's an earning per year cap rather than total points. I have had over 50K at times.

        Thanks OP hardly ever go into the app these days.

        • dangerdanger on 02/06/2025 - 17:12

          How to get those points?

        • HansW on 02/06/2025 - 19:10

          I’m sitting at 71k points at the moment. Waiting till September to get a new Apple Watch 😁

    • squaredonut on 02/06/2025 - 17:02

      How do you get so many? Spending from other connected ones?

      • edumacation on 02/06/2025 - 17:20
        +1

        I hit the limit every year, just use the app and log your 'exercise' each week/do the challenges and you should get to the limit within the year

      • whitlam on 02/06/2025 - 17:27

        Originally the signup bonus, my Fitbit was connected for activity and was gaming the challenges for the first year.

        Also had issues using a Fitbit voucher that cost 25k points so as a gesture of goodwill refunded the points then the voucher worked.

    • b0b0 on 02/06/2025 - 17:52

      The ozbargain idea is you would have churned way before you hit 40,000 points cap anyway. So this 5000 works out to be additional 😃😃

      Reminder to wait until 30/June for the bonus before churning…

  • xiaozaocha on 02/06/2025 - 15:11

    thx OP. What if I switch to other funds before the points delivery date?

    • tnarg on 02/06/2025 - 17:59
      +1

      Then you wouldn't get the points is the obvious answer

  • glyptothek on 02/06/2025 - 15:26

    Thks for this - found in app and activated!

  • EyyBanane on 02/06/2025 - 15:47

    Thanks OP. This takes me to the annual point cap of 40k. I applauded myself for not being unnecessarily active and wasting points!

    • sophiie on 02/06/2025 - 15:59

      When you reach the point cap, can you simply use the points and then collect more?

      • Webbo on 02/06/2025 - 17:02

        Nope unfortunautely. 40K cap is on points earned in a year. Spending the points does not reset earning limits.

        • Eskibar on 03/06/2025 - 09:02

          When does it reset for the year? When you first day of the premium? 31/12? EOFY?

          • Webbo on 03/06/2025 - 12:17
            +1

            @Eskibar: Resets 1st of Jan. Done on calender year.

  • montorola on 02/06/2025 - 16:17

    Thanks OP, "I feel better now"

  • Shoppingisfun on 02/06/2025 - 16:25

    Thanks OP, couldn't see it at first but updated the app and it appeared :)

  • fatty08 on 02/06/2025 - 16:58

    Redeemed, thanks OP

  • Webbo on 02/06/2025 - 17:01

    Does this count towards the 40K cap annually on points earned? Then it's no bonus at all.

  • Misleading on 02/06/2025 - 17:23

    Think I'm missing something, can you only sign up for this if you have a Medibank Policy already? Sign up is asking for membership number…
    (Apologies, not origionally from Aus so Medibank is new to me)

    • djam71 on 02/06/2025 - 17:32

      Its in the title:

      "for Eligible Members"

      • Misleading on 02/06/2025 - 17:33

        Cheers, definitely need to open my eyes more lol!

  • lily99 on 02/06/2025 - 17:27

    Thanks OP!

  • ilovefullprice on 02/06/2025 - 17:35

    Isn’t this a downgrade from giving out actual cash cashbacks to now points?

    • digitalbath on 02/06/2025 - 21:18

      I received a sms saying I’m getting cash back a month or so ago. Still waiting though. Think it comes in July

      • ilovefullprice on 02/06/2025 - 22:18

        So you got both this and the cashback?

        • digitalbath on 02/06/2025 - 22:35

          Well. That’s still to be seen. But seems so.

    • Jinxter on 04/06/2025 - 14:09

      Per the email that I received today

      The Live Better rewards points are in addition to the cash back amount for which you may be eligible under Medibank’s Give Back program.

      • ilovefullprice on 04/06/2025 - 14:19

        Thanks!

        Is there another cash back amount scheduled for later this year? I may recall wrongly but I vaguely remember receiving an email about this.

        • Moo Deng on 05/06/2025 - 23:41
          +1

          Yes up to $50 by September

          I thought they were being sneaky and changed the terms from $50 cash back to $50 points/gift card voucher… but seems they are separate

  • iNeedMoreMoney on 02/06/2025 - 18:17

    Wow found it, thank you!

  • Killua27 on 02/06/2025 - 19:05

    If I just joined Medibank and received 50k livebetter points from a previous deal, can I still get this 5k points? I am unsure about the 40k annual cap that the others have mentioned.

  • Kolky on 02/06/2025 - 19:21

    Thanks got it, sending you blessing.

  • noscopedJFK on 02/06/2025 - 21:22

    Thanks OP - good deal!

  • spiderbite88 on 02/06/2025 - 22:11

    So this is only for current paying Medibank customers? Is there a free tier of Medibank?

  • Frozensage on 02/06/2025 - 22:16

    So I’m at 35k points. Used my $200 and $100 premium. If I churned away and came back in 6 month will my points still be there?

    • hashtagbargain on 03/06/2025 - 01:21

      Yes it will. Your policy number will change but your points will still be accessible on your return.

      • Craze on 03/06/2025 - 13:44
        -1

        Nice! So points don't expire?

        • hashtagbargain on 03/06/2025 - 15:53

          Not sure about that. I switched to bupa for 4 months and then came back, points were in tact.

  • Dermot on 03/06/2025 - 11:10

    Thank you for this! Much appreciated!

  • froddo on 04/06/2025 - 09:30

    Do we know this is in addition to minimum $50 cashback? Medibank is offering provided your account is active 30.6 https://www.medibank.com.au/health-insurance/info/coronaviru…
