Hi there. This post relates to Bupa members only. Bupa are presently offering to retain your membership a 4% lifetime discount and a one month waiver of fees. All you need to do is call them and tell them you are looking at your options and can they do anything in relation to the cost of your membership. They are under pressure to retain as the online insurance such as I select do not quote on Bupa. Cool way to save yourself around $400 . Those who do not ask miss out. Do not know but i would suspect they are also offering the deal to other fund members to entice them to change. Cheers. Daz

Daz, Thanks. Do you know how long this offer is for. Reason I pay our next years membership B4 end of March to beat the April annual price rise.

Sorry. No. But try them. They may extend your membership to 13 months before renewal. And ask for the 4 % lifetime discount. Cheers

Thank you Daz.
100% correct.
just got the 4% discount and waiver of one month fees.Instead of being due in April it is now due in May.
The only thing is you have to be on direct debit and if you go off direct debit the discount stops.I pay yearly and i suppose this is the same for monthly.
I appreciate this as because i was successful in a previous life and invested wisely i do not receive any pension,part pension or Health card or whatever it is called.
Thank you once again.
If anyone else contacts BUPA ask to be put through to CUSTOMER CARE it will save you time .
