In the initial contact with Emma, I was somewhat confused with trying to figure out our current billing with Lumo and I was a little ‘short’ with poor Emma. She very professionally and patiently got me settled down and began to explain how it all worked going by our current billing from Lumo. The end experience was nothing short of amazing and… Read more

helpful thanks to Emma! I sincerely apologized for my opening attitude and she humbly accepted and was grateful to be of assistance in finding a better deal surprisingly STILL with Lumo! My thanks and gratitude to Emma for handling ME and finding us something better! I would be happy to recommend iSelect to anyone looking for help finding a better power deal.

Saved me at least $400 pa – Brad was our consultant. He has been the best consultant I have ever used for insurance compassion. He was SO knowledgeable on every subject I raised & was able to explain it simply to me. He put forward a great solution to my problem which was what got me over the line. I cannot praise him enough. I was hesitant & anxious to begin with but after… Read more ·  1

speaking with Brad, I was completely comfortable about every aspect of the change to HCF. He also referred me to a colleague who was able to save me almost $50 p/m on electricity. I couldn’t be happier.

They say compare with us and save so that’s exactly I did and this is what I got. Received comparison from Budget direct (used to be good but rip Off now a days) and oceania INSURANCE Comprehensive cover $5245/ANNUALLY $5912/ANNUALLY $1000 Excess for both. Insurance companies are ripping off their coustmers to fill their pockets, their profits are rising and they’d CEOs should be investigated. I would avoid iselect from now on.

Time wasters – I was enticed to enquire about Home and Contents Insurance on iSelect by a graph on their website saying that average premiums in WA were $724. So I spend 15 minutes to type in all my details, to receive three quotations of over $1900. I don't live in a mansion! They gave very misleading information on their website. Show details

To say I’m impressed with iSelect is an understatement. I’ve been with my current health provider for 20+ years and despite periodically reviewing and adjusting cover with them over the years, I’ve become increasingly dissatisfied with the constantly rising and v expensive premiums. I casually browsed the iSelect site to compare my existing cover… Read more ·  1

with other health providers to see if there were options to save money, and I partially completed the iSelect health cover comparison form. Within minutes of leaving the site, iSelect called me to see if I had any issues with completing the form and to make sure I had all my questions answered. Initially I was a bit shocked as I had only been casually browsing the site - but I’m SO glad they called. Their customer service rep was polite, professional, very knowledgeable and patiently answered all my questions. Within an hour I had switched health funds and saved our family $140 a MONTH in premiums. Bonus - the new policy is actually better than our previous one and will increase our cover AND savings over the next 2 years. Thanks iSelect. I will be recommending them to everyone.

iSelect determined that ahm Health Insurance offered a more affordable option than my current insurer, Teachers Health. When the iSelect agent requested my personal information, including bank account details, I explained to him that I had not yet decided to sign up with ahm, as I needed time to consider his offer. The agent replied that, by… Read more

providing this information, I was not committing to ahm, and that I had a cooling off period of ten days. Reluctantly, I provided the rest of the information that was requested. At the end of the conversation, I explicitly requested that neither iSelect nor ahm should not contact Teachers Health until after I had confirmed the switch – if, indeed, I did decide to switch health funds. The agent agreed that no such communication would take place until the appropriate time. Subsequently, I decided to stay with Teachers Health. On the next business day, I phoned ahm to invoke the cooling-off period, and the ahm agent cancelled the policy. Later that day, a representative from Teachers Health contacted me to let me know that she knew that I had considered switching to ahm, and that she would happily assist me in making my decision. How did Teachers Health know that I had contacted iSelect? The only possible explanations for this disclosure are that either: 1. iSelect blatantly disregarded my request to refrain from informing Teachers Health that I was considering changing health funds, or: 2. iSelect did not communicate my request to ahm, and ahm informed Teachers Health, without my consent, that I was considering changing health funds. It goes without saying that I now deeply regret having disclosed my personal details to iSelect and ahm. What other third parties are now privy to this information? In future, I will undertake my own research rather than entrust my personal details to iSelect – a company that is clearly focused more on the commission that it generates from its referrals than on safeguarding the privacy of its clients. Needless to say, ahm, an incompetent and untrustworthy organisation, and with a Product Review rating of just 3.3 stars, is also off my radar. I emailed both of these companies to express my concerns. After one week, there has been no reply to my emails, but I did receive a lovely welcome letter and membership card from ahm in today’s mail! Inept and bungling are two words that come to mind!

Warning - dishonest advice. Recently I was talked by iSelect into switching my Health insurance from HCF to BUPA. One of the features that was important to me was no gap claim for twice yearly dental checkups provided by HCF. During the conversation… Read more

with the iSelect representative I specifically asked if that feature would be available to me from BUPA. I was assured that it would be. However, today, after my first visit for a dental checkup this year, I was charged $67.60 out-of-pocket costs. Apparently, iSelect rep failed to mention that 100% cover would be provided only if I were to attend BUPA dental clinic. In other words I could not choose my own preferred dentist with BUPA's cover. Now I'll be switching back to HCF with a loss of about $200 total because I had prepaid my cover with HCF before April 1 at the old rate. I do understand that iSelect rep very much wanted to get the commissions, but why I should pay for it. I lodged the complaint with iSelect, but reply is not coming for 2–3 weeks. Shame on you iSelect - you now lost me as one of yours long-standing customer.

 Follow-up  · My complaint was handled quickly and appropriately under the circumstances. I was offered the payment equal to the value that I had to pay out of pocket for my dental visit. However, I am still at a loss as I lost my loyalty discounts that takes 3 years to accumulate and I had to pay HCF at the new rate as it was after the 1 April. Usually I try… Read more

FALSE ADVERTISING TO DRUM UP BUSINESS. After spending 25 minutes on the phone to iSelect, it was agreed that my current Health fund premium was was cheaper that any other fund. The gentleman from iSelect promised the $52 payment as promised on the… Read more

TV ad. He returned to the phone and stated they would not make a payment as the Gold hospital only cover was excluded from their offer. After contacting Product Review iSelect offered the promised $52.00 It agreed to pay $55.00 which came in the form of a credit with Prezzee. The situation trying to obtain my Prezzee was horrendous from the start. After almost 4 hours over 2 days and involving several supposedly customer service live consultants both with Prezzee and Giftcard.com I finally have my gift cards. The Prezee agents kept switching me back to AI when they could not resolve the issue. One even told me I could not get Coles gift cards. Never again. Both iSelect and Prezzee need to have a good look at themselves.

 Follow-up  · I did finally get my Coles gift cards, but ISelect could have provided that electronically from the outset

date of a policy correct, yet somehow they managed it! If they had told me the correct information then I would not have proceeded with the policy, now I have to cancel a policy and get a new one in place urgently. Utterly not acceptable.

Went on the I Select website entred my details before I even got to glance at the options my mobile rings with a sales woman ramming policies down my throat like a used car salesperson would sell. Unfortunately they caught me when I was not well and I fell to being signed up to Bupa. One day later when zi felt better I started reaserching, the… Read more

outcome was I Select is not Like for Like they run on commision so the benifets are less than what Bupa proper sell in their products. The reason they call you so quickly is because they dont want you the have time to compare between several fund companies. When I tried to cancel the policy they gave me the run around in the end I went to Bupa itself office in the shopping centre to have the policy cancelled. My advice look at all the health funds what they offer what suits on the funds main website for each dont get caught up with this I Select scam.

Due to the complexity of product offerings in the health cover market, we used iselect to find a better policy…..what a nightmare….not only did they not find us the best policy, they mislead us on the one they did find, losing us significant changeover bonuses….we had to cancel and go back to square one…..never ever again
