Earn 20,000 Flybuys points when you sign up for an eligible hospital only, extras only or combined hospital and extras policy with HCF and stay for 30 days.

Since even a cheap extras only policy is eligible, you could potentially earn the 20,000 points for under $25 depending on your circumstances.

20,000 Flybuys points are worth $100 if used at Coles, Kmart, Officeworks etc. You can also convert them to 10,000 Velocity points which are possibly worth even more than $100.

After you’ve held your policy for 30 days, the 20,000 points will then be credited to your Flybuys account within 14 days.

Additionally, if you choose to stay for ten or more months you can also earn up to 130,000 extra Flybuys points depending on the cost of your annual premium:

  • $6,000 or more: 130,000 points
  • $5,000-5,999: 100,000 points
  • $4,000-4,999: 80,000 points
  • $3,000-3,999: 60,000 points
  • $2,000-2,999: 48,000 points
  • $1,000-1,999: 24,000 points
  • Less than $999: 14,000 points

However, the main appeal of this offer is just the 20,000 points initial sign up bonus.

Note that this offer is only available to those who have not held a HCF policy within the six months prior to signing up.

It also excludes Corporate, Ambulance Only, Overseas Visitors Health Covers, RT Health branded products and HCF Life Insurance.

    1. Per the terms and conditions (emphasis mine):

      New Eligible HCF Policy means any new HCF health insurance policy for hospital only, extras only or combined hospital and extras cover and excludes Corporate, Ambulance Only, Overseas Visitors Health Covers, RT Health branded products and HCF Life Insurance products.

      If you still have doubts, feel free to ask HCF directly over live chat before signing up.

    1. The exact premium depends on your circumstances (age, income etc) but a HCF Starter Extras only policy can often be had for around $3/week.

  1. And how we all thinking about just having two insurance policies temporarily. Would it even matter for the 30 days. I’m sure it can’t be ‘flagged’ – worth it to not cancel current policies ?

    Reply

    1. I believe that as long as you don’t specify your income bracket, it should be OK. As it won’t be flagged by the ATO and therefore you won’t get the rebate, so it shouldn’t have anything to do with your tax return etc.

      For having the policy one month and then cancelling, I don’t think it’s going to matter in the grand scheme of things regardless.

  2. Can someone pl. explain how/when to cancel the policy so you only pay for 1 month (so it doesn’t renew into thr second month) but still adhere to the T&Cs (which say you can not cancel within the first 30 days)?

    Reply

    1. Per HCF (emphasis mine):

      To cancel your membership, the policyholder needs to let us know in writing. Any premiums paid in advance of the effective cancellation date will be refunded in full, provided you haven’t made a claim after your cancellation date.

  3. Anything stopping someone with existing hospital and extras policy elsewhere taking out extras only with HCF whilst continuing other policy, then cancelling HCF extras once 20000 flybuys is given?

    Reply

    1. Did you go through with it? I am looking at doing that, but it asks if I currently have cover and then wants details. Did you just say you don’t have cover?

      Reply

      1. Checking the Ts&Cs it says you can’t hold another policy with another insurer at the same time (a reason to terminate), so not sure its worth it for the amount of points.
