- Weekly premium $50 - $69 = 20,000 Velocity Points
- Weekly premium $70 - $89 = 30,000 Velocity Points
- Weekly premium $90 - $109 = 40,000 Velocity Points
- Weekly premium $110 - $129 = 50,000 Velocity Points

2&6 month waits waived on eligible extras for new Medibank members who join hospital and extras cover:
Other waiting periods apply (including 12 months on some dental services). If switching funds, any waiting periods you’ve already served for comparable extras will generally be recognised if you join Medibank within 2 months of leaving your previous fund. Annual limits apply. If switching funds, limits used from your previous fund may be deducted. If you’ve reached your limits from a previous fund you may not be able to claim straight away.
The first deal was already bad and borderline unobtainable for the higher point tiers.. this one feels like a joke.
