Similar to previous deal but now it's $500.

Finder is offering a $500 digital Visa card to eligible customers who switch their health insurance, including hospital and extras cover, to HBF through the Finder Comparison Service.

This promotion is only open to Australian residents aged 18 and over, and starts at 12.01pm AEST 10 October 2025 and ends at 11.59am 9 December 2025, unless withdrawn earlier ("Promotion Period").

    • Sign up and start cover for an Eligible Cover via the HBF website after 12:01pm AEST on 10 October 2025 and before 11:59am AEST on 9 December 2025.
    • Maintain Eligible Cover until the Reward is fulfilled.
    • Be a new HBF policyholder or have not held an HBF policy (hospital and/or extras, including urgent ambulance) in the last 12 months (excluding dependents coming off a family policy).
    • Pay premiums monthly or fortnightly via direct debit and ensure payments are up to date at the time of the Fulfilment Eligibility Check.

    Just purchased (regret later? LOL), Thanks OP.
    I've got a couple of questions,

    1) When do we get 12 weeks free and $200 gift card from HBF?
    2) How do we know for sure that we are now tracked and included for the $500 gift card next year? They can always say 'no, you are not one of the first 320 customers'. Do we get any confirmation 'yes, now you're in and you will get $500 as long as you keep the cover till March next year' something of this effect? I received an email saying 'I clicked on the link to receive $500,' but received nothing after purchasing the cover.

      It's in the T&Cs of the HBF offer.

      The gift card will be issued by Prezzee, on behalf of HBF, after 31 days of continuous cover from the policy start date, provided HBF has received full payment for this period

      4 weeks free after 31 days
      4 weeks after 396 days
      4 weeks after 791 days.

      There's no way to officially know until Finder complete the Fulfilment Eligibility Check but the email you received is a good sign it's been tracked.
      See the previous Finder Medibank deal, where other Ozbargainers have commented on the process and notifications they received from Finder.

      • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 08/12/2025 - 12:18

        Hi @dorikin – Can confirm this deal has now been exhausted so you can mark as expired.

        We are looking to do more in this space and others in the future, so watch this space!

        • s0805 on 08/12/2025 - 12:33

      Same here. Received an email from Finder saying "You're so close to scoring $500!". But nothing else. No confirmation from HBF regarding membership status. It's all a bit iffy for my likes.

      • ahoyoid on 20/11/2025 - 18:21

        How long did it take the email confirmation from Finder?

    The terms have been updated.

    The offer is only available to the first 690 customers who sign up to an eligible HBF policy through the Finder Comparison Service in the same session.

  • Wowzers29 on 05/11/2025 - 22:49

    "Pay premiums monthly or fortnightly via direct debit and ensure payments are up to date at the time of the Fulfilment Eligibility Check"

    Do I need to set up payments with my bank account or will a cedit card be ok?

    • ussenterprize on 07/11/2025 - 13:53

      Take screenshot as HBF lists both as options.

  • nunyabizzness on 06/11/2025 - 16:24

    I've just churned from HBF to AAMI and HBF don't want to refund me 2 weeks I overpaid. They say that the free weeks started from where I had paid up to rather than after 30 days. Bit of a tricky one. Never had this issue before with other providers.

    • dorikin on 11/11/2025 - 10:38

      If you signed up under the current promotional offer, the terms state 4 weeks free cover will be applied to your policy after 31 days from the start of your policy

  • ozpoz on 09/11/2025 - 11:42

    Finder lists the HBF premium as $504, but when I click through to HBF’s site, the price jumps to $611. Has anyone else noticed this difference or know why the price increases when redirected?

    • dorikin on 11/11/2025 - 10:45

      I would suggest checking your details match between both sites including your age, state and rebate level. Some of the covers also have very similar names.

  • ecld on 10/11/2025 - 08:54

    Their extras cover is garbage, most limits combined with completely unrelated covers.

    Have been looking to churn from Qantas (NIB), but so far, nothing really comes close in terms of pricing/coverage.

  • ussenterprize on 11/11/2025 - 10:30

    Any email from Finder on the eligibility?

  • AussieMark on 11/11/2025 - 20:17

    Eligible Covers:
    The Reward is available on the following eligible HBF hospital and extras covers when purchased together in one transaction ("Eligible Cover"):
    Hospital: Extras:

    Lite Bronze Hospital Plus Core Extras

    To be eligible for the Offer:

    So does each one link to the second part in the table

    Or can i mix and match?

    • dorikin on 11/11/2025 - 21:09

      yes, you can mix and match hospital and extras cover from the table.

      • AussieMark on 11/11/2025 - 21:41

        Ah I thought each one on the left had to match the one on the right

  • Leonard0880 on 11/11/2025 - 22:32

      Same issue here. Called them 3x times, no result every single time. They couldn't send me the confirmation email that I'm covered. Fed up of this, today I got it cancelled. Can't believe these guys anymore. How can you believe that you are covered when you don't receive any written correspondence or email whatsoever. Pathetic. All 3 times I called, same response from the useless team (system error) which they couldn't resolve for 11 days. Ridiculous. Be warned guys. I'm out.

    @dorikin Just jumping in here.

    Happy to report that due to popular demand we are extending this deal until 9 December (or until the new limit is met).

    As you say, if the deal is showing live on Finder it is still LIVE.

    If anyone has any issues or questions about redeeming, you can @ us here or email aupr@finder.com and we will get back to you ASAP.

      Hi,

      I held off jumping on this deal, even though it was very appealing as there was some reports above of not receiving a confirmation email. Not sure if this is finder or HBF issue. Has this been addressed?

    • whyisave on 27/11/2025 - 20:42

      Be one of the first 690 customers to sign up

      How to confirm eligibility of the promotion, and be within the first 690 customers ?

      • F-22 on 27/11/2025 - 21:01

          If it's online, then why have a separate condition for number of customers ?

          If the promotion is not available, they can remove it from the website, but not leave it on there, and say "you must be within 690 customers", and there is no way of finding out what number in the 'queue' you are ?

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 01/12/2025 - 08:30

      Glad to hear.

      For the Finder reward, you should get your $500 before 7 April, following the 30 March check as listed in the Ts and Cs.

      -The Fulfilment Eligibility Check will be conducted on the following date: on or before 30 March 2026
      -Fulfilment of the Reward will be made on the following date: on or before 7 April 2026

      • baydoti on 05/12/2025 - 11:53

        Just coming back to this. I want to clarify I received a mail saying I’d get a $200 gift card from prezzee in 3 business days. It’s been 5 business days and no mail. What’s going on?

    • johnmelb on 01/12/2025 - 11:31

      I got an email from HBF about the gift card today, nothing from prezzee yet (finder is still showing as "Hang tight, we're checking your eligibility.").

      Good news! Because you joined HBF during our recent gift card promotion, we’re sending you a $100 Prezzee Smart eGift Card.1

      Your eGift Card will be emailed to you directly from our gift card provider, Prezzee, in the next three business days. Prezzee has over 300 retailers where you can use your eGift Card.*

      When you receive the email with your eGift Card, simply follow the link to activate it. Remember you have three months from the date of issue to activate your eGift Card.

      • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 02/12/2025 - 11:31

        Correct – Finder will check your eligibility on or before 30 March

        • runamuck on 02/12/2025 - 14:02

          So we're stuck with this fund for at least another 4 months not knowing if we will get the gift card or not from Finder. Can we not call and you check over the phone? That way if for whatever reason we are not eligible, we can switch rather than wait for almost half a year for nothing.

          • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 05/12/2025 - 13:29

            @runamuck: Totally get where you’re coming from on the wait time. The good news is that if you’ve met all the offer requirements in the Terms and Conditions, you’re on track to receive your gift card by 7 April.

            One thing to keep in mind: the offer does require your eligible policy to stay active until the reward is fulfilled. That’s part of the verification process, so we can’t confirm eligibility over the phone or release the reward early. Once the policy is still active through to the fulfilment date, the gift card gets issued.

            If anything’s unclear or you want to double-check how the rules work, happy to help!

  • shaz92451 on 03/12/2025 - 08:16

    I signed up using the link but I'm still getting email reminders about my quote. Is there a chance it didn't work and i don't get credit? Thinking whether i need to cancel and redo it.

    Can't seem to get into any contact details to get to finder either and ask them. Keeps telling me to login but I already am

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 03/12/2025 - 10:08

      Hi @shaz92451 - Don't worry about the email reminders, those are automatically created when you click through if you don't complete in the same session.

      You can email gxcustomercare@finder.com to double check if you like.

      As noted above, your eligibility will be checked on or before 30 March.

      You should also be able to see when logged in to Finder that you have rewards in progress.

    The 'eligible cover' table in the offer means I have to buy the hospital with matching extras from table OR I can mismatch the options between hospital and extras?

        The two columns - Hospital and Extras - are not meant to be read as matching pairs, but as two separate lists of eligible covers. You can mix and match any Hospital cover from the left column with any Extras cover from the right column.

    @findercomau

    A few people have questioned whether direct debit includes both Credit Card and Bank Account as they have both options at HBF. Can you confirm as it is an eligibility requirement?

    Pay premiums monthly or fortnightly via direct debit and ensure payments are up to date at the time of the Fulfilment Eligibility Check.

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 08/12/2025 - 13:15

      Howdy!

      Confirming that as long as you are paying monthly or fortnightly (via card or bank account) you are eligible.

      It's only if you choose to pay for the whole year or half year (where you already get a discounted rate for the bulk payment) that you are ineligible.

    Has anyone received the $500 gift card from Finder for this instance of the deal?

    I signed up in Nov and received the 4 weeks free and $200 gift card from HBF. Would the other gift card from Finder land any sooner than whats mentioned in their terms? It wont be worthwhile for me to keep this policy until Mar if that’s how long it will typically take.

    The T&Cs for the Finder gift card goes as below

    The Fulfilment Eligibility Check will be conducted on the following date: on or before 30

    Took up this offer and selected Basic Hospital + Basic Extras at the time of transaction. Now, I want to upgrade the extras to Flex 50 or Flex 60 (listed on the t&cs) and wondering if I will still be eligible to receive the $500 gift card if I upgrade?

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 17/12/2025 - 12:04

      Hi @cloudspires
      Upgrading your extras won’t affect your eligibility, as long as the new extras is also an eligible product and you continue to meet all other conditions of the offer.
