  1. Heard on the radio yesterday that Medicare Private has a new joining
    incentive. They will give you a new MTB. Nothing on their website though.

    Waiting to hear of the first person who fell off their Medicare bike to sue.

  2. Can I get the price of an MTB taken off my fees? Even if it's a [censored]
    one. But I'd rather a really expensive one, please. Hardtail will be
    OK, but at least XT with good shocks. Then I'd get more off the fees.
    Oh, make sure it's light, and with red in the colour scheme.

    Why not ask them? You never know.

    The mountain bike is either a ‘Tiercal’ or ‘Chopper’ brand, and includes the following features – 26” MTB frame, 18 Speed Shimano Gears. Members are unable to choose the type of bike, which will be determined by Medibank Private. A bike of similar features and quality to the mountain bike will be delivered if the mountain bike is not available

    One partially assembled mountain bike will be delivered to the Contributor of the new membership approximately 2 weeks after joining, which will require some assembly by the member. Instructions for assembly will be provided but Medibank Private recommends that the member have the mountain bike assembled by a bicycle mechanic (at the member’s cost).

    The mountain bike is not transferable or exchangeable and may not be taken as cash. Medibank Private, however, reserves the discretion to award cash equivalent value in exceptional circumstances.


    18 speed. That's definitely not XT or Deore. Unless the front is a double.

    I wonder if pestering phone calls and emails count for the exceptional circumstances to get the cash equivalent.

    Or that they don't want to reveal that the equivalent value for that boat anchor is $50!

    Last year's GV bike was advertised as having something like "Shimano
    gears". Turned out to be a ~$40 wholesale bike 🙂

    The thought had crossed my mind that it would be an orange and purple
    bike :p

    mmmh, a 26 inch frame. I'd need some leg extensions.
