Pruhealth gym loophole Article Discussion

Thanks sacherlover, I called them this morning and they were fine taking both our pruhealth ID's. Shame that they didn't have any standard class availablility on the day we wanted to return from Brussels. So we're now deliberating between leisure select (has to be both ways @ £65 each) or getting the earliest return back the following morning, which of course means another night in a hotel.

As a male under 25, is there anyway for me to reach silver after one month??

So far I have done the following:

50 Register
150 Non Smoker
50 Healthy meal online
300 Fitness Assesment
100 Stress Test
30 Online articles

What else can I do? 1000 points seems to be miles off still.

I only have two days left to get to 1000 and I am unable to do the health screening... I thought I could buy some items off ebay, if I bought 3 in the same day, would that give me 120 points that would count for this month?

Thanks!

Yes, it pays to book as close to the three months before travel as possible, especially if you want to go at the weekend.

At least if you are staying in Brussels there are lots of hotel deals - we stayed in Bruges last weekend and it was a challenge to find reasonably priced hotels.

Don't know about the ebay thing but you haven't listed vitality review and flu jab both which give you 100 points each

Hi,

I have recently booked for myself (Platinum level) and OH (non member). The Eurostar staff on the phone line were very helpful about making sure that we had seats together. Just make sure that you have both your PruHealth ID numbers, Eurostar will then be able to verify that you should both only pay £10.

My wife and I are joint PruHealth members (couple/family membership). Does this mean we both can get the 3 £10 returns on Eurostar each or is it only me as principal member who can get them?

Hi,

As far as I am aware you both are entitled to the cheap return Eurostar tickets. However, remember that the £10 price only relates to PruHealth members on Platinum Vitality status. Are you on Platinum status?

Hi MV,

Join ASAP or say on 1st Nov your Insurance premiums will be around £45 which is nearly what your paying now in gym fees.

Because your 40+ you can get to gold by Jan 1st very quickly like this:

50 Register
100 Flu Jab (Cost £??)
150 Glaucoma Test
150 Glucose Test
150 Pap Smear
150 Non Smoker
50 Healthy meal online
300 Fitness Assesment
100 Vitality Review
50 Stress Test
60 Online articles
300 for 30 gym visits in 2 months
200 Health screening (cost £25)

1810 Total Points = Gold (you only need 1500 for gold)

You should be platinum by February

If you want the full table email me [EMAIL="marcnicol@pch.uk.com"]marcnicol@pch.uk.com[/EMAIL] and i'll email it back to you.

I can do 30% of your annual premium -5% IPT (tax) cashback for you so if you take £45 as an estimate of your premium: 45 x 12 = £540 - 5% = £513 -70% = £153.90 as your cashback (payable 4-5 weeks after Pruhealth join date) if you want.

DO YOU EVER RESPOND WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS??

IS IT LIKE AN OCD?

OR DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THIS WHEREAS OTHER BROKERS DO NOT?

hello!
- i did a gym assessment (300 points) on saturday and need the points added on before nov 1st - if they dont get added on until after that, do you think pruhealth will still count them in oct as it took place before nov 1st? (if that makes sense!!)

Yes, they should do.

Can anyone confirm this? I have a shedload of points from October which are yet to appear. Will make a big difference to my gym costs.
