seems to be an issue alright, my better half cannot log into the website at all either.

i just tried an older email address and it worked
obviously it doesnt recognise if you put an email address that is not in their system (lots will just tell you its not registered) but it tells you an email is sent.... even though it is not

try any other possible email addresses you may have had in past

its not like vhi site is something you log into all the time!

anyway, looks like i got sorted, so thanks a million OP

From the site:

Members signed up to Online Documents, or pay for a hospital policy by Direct Debit, salary deduction or through your group scheme are automatically entitled to the cash back rewards.

Your reward payment will be processed and paid after 1st September 2018.

Looks like if I get my adult dependent to signup ill get another 50 euro

How do you do stuff online with them? I've health insurance with them but never seen any correspondence about a login or anything. What's exactly do you do inline anyway, do they mean claims?

They have snap and send online. I used all the time. Take picture of receipt upload and fill in some details and money deposited in account in few days, use for dental or physio visits etc, glasses

I m not sure what plan i am on to be honest (corporate) but i got glasses covered, and work gave me a contribution with actually made me 50 quid. Worth checking out your policy, and your HR. If you need glasses for use of monitors etc there should be something.

So does this mean if you're already signed up you don't need to do anything and everyone gets €50?

Anybody else have this problem.I signed up myself for the rewards yesterday and everything went ok.I then tried to sign up the wife but when I log into her account the rewards option is not there. I was wondering is it because we are both under the same policy number and when I registered I automatically get the reward for herself??any ideas

I’m an adult dependent too didn’t see anything on my account but it’s ticked on my husbands account for adult dependent

This the reply from vhi “I can confirm, once the adult dependent insured on the PMI policy signs up for online documentation it is the policy holder who will receive the €50 cash back after the 1st September 2018.”

This policy is €206 for basic everyday cover only.

I have no health insurance at present.

It would work out well if I could get the €100 back on this.

When you register and put in your policy number are others asked to put in bank details for reward?

I registered and got nothing.

Thanks op, I'm already paperless and on direct debit and it worked perfectly.

Let us know if this works

Got an updated policy document from VHI I pay my premiums by monthly dd. The total cost of the policy has fallen by €88.95. Not sure how this equates to the advertised €100 cashback?

Think the €100 is a separate payment which is going to be made in September. The reduction in policy is linked to them reducing policy prices a few times over the last year.

Excellent. I hope you are correct. I assumed it was the €100 less the tax relief.

Happy days good man / woman.

My wife is ridiculously slow at getting around to this kind of thing and she's a dependent on my policy. Anybody know if I can claim the stuff on my end now and get the extra €50 when she eventually does it?

This sort of plan isn't taken into account as "in-patient" health insurance which is required to avoid the Lifetime Community Rating.
More details here, but you'd probably need to spend about €400 a year if you are 34 or older to get the basic inpatient cover.

I wonder what happens if you pay your policy in full in one payment...I've no problem with paperless billing etc...but I do find it handier from a budgeting point of view to minimise monthly direct debits...would they view a one time electronic payment as a DD

(if direct debits etc aren't flying out of an account left right and centre...easier to know where you stand with your current account and that the balance is actually the balance and not a provisional one before the next DD lays waste to it)

Can anybody give me any disadvantages for going paperless? Also after getting the €100 this year could you contact them next year and ask to go back to correspondence in post etc?

Just did this even though am already signed up for paperless documents and dd. Easiest €100 ever.

The post office may close down. As might the paper mills and printers.

Ironic that I got a letter in the post about this yesterday! I had already signed up....

hillbloom

I didn't log into mine yet but I got the letter from VHI. What does this mean about Direct Debit. I pay the full amount annually and would prefer to keep it that way. Will I get the 50e back. I will register for the on-line documents alright.

Bambaata

Did anyone get any notification email or anything to confirm you'd submitted all required? I go through the process and claim but everytime i log back in its as though i can do it again and again with no note that it has already been claimed

I logged in yesterday and saw that the deadline has been pushed back to October 1st, so it might be that now everyone has to wait until October for the cashback.

We were told October for the cash back months ago. Seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is up to.

People who registered prior to end on Aug will get it in Sept. If registered afterwards, it will be issued in oct

Anyone actually received this yet?
I signed up but have not received the money

In fairness, today is only the first business day of September

AvonEnniskerry

From my understanding there will be no payments now until October.

Nerd Queen

Online Advantage payments will only be made to the policyholder. Payments will be made to the bank account registered on the policyholders’ MyVhi account. Cheque payments may be made where no bank account details have been provided. Payment will take place after the closing date, 1st October 2018*

Looking at the T&c's it will Oct now before its paid out.

My dad pays already by direct debit - he gets paper bills - would he be eligible?

Can you switch back to paper at a later date?

bertie4evr

People who signed up early will start getting paid tomorrow.

foxyyyyy

Are they paying out early though? They extended it until 1st October and it now says on their site they will pay out after that. 🙄 It definitely hasn't hit my account yet 😪
