Hello!

I can’t believe Christmas IS NEXT WEEK. I know time feels faster the older you get, but wow this year is really flying by.

We are trying something new and are running a referral challenge for the remainder of December as a thank you for sharing the newsletter. The person who refers the most people in December will win a $50 Prezzee gift card of their choice!

Here’s your unique link, happy sharing:

P.S. we’ll announce the winner on the 5th of Jan 💃🏻

BONUS POINTS OFFER
Earn up to 150,000 Flybuys points with HCF health insurance



🛒 How it works

  • Sign up for an eligible policy

  • Enter your Flybuys member number when signing up

  • Hold your policy for 30 days to earn 20,000 bonus Flybuys points

  • Hold your policy for 10 calendar months and you’re eligible for up to 130,000 Flybuys points

Points breakdown

💳 Example:

If you sign up for an extras only policy:

  • Cheapest extras cover starts at ~$3 per week

  • Maintain cover for 30 days

  • Approximate total cost: ~$15

  • Flybuys points earned: 20,000 points

So by spending around $15, you’re getting $100 of value.

💡 What’s that worth

20,000 Flybuys points = $100 to spend at Coles, Kmart, Bunnings, Officeworks and more

✈️ Or convert to 10,000 Velocity Points

⚠️ Things to keep in mind

  • Must not have held an HCF policy in the last 6 months
