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 TV ad. He returned to the phone and stated they would not make a payment as the Gold hospital only… Read more

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.

iSelect were very informative about choices when I enquired about gas suppliers. The plan they suggested offers savings on my existing plan. On my approval they progressed the change. A very easy process. Show reply

Gave me incorrect information over the phone that was incorrect as of their own paperwork they sent me - based upon the information given to me over the phone, I had already booked appointments which then needed to be cancelled and everyone (myself and the innocent service providers) had their time wasted. It really isn't hard to get the start… Read more

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.

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

Contacted Iselect to check up on my current health insurances. Sebastion was very thorough and detailed in the options available. This made it easy to assess the alternatives and change over to another fund that provides as equal if not better cover and saving significant money. Once this was completed successfully I was transferred to an energy… Read more ·  1

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.

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

I Don't Want Anyone to End Up Paying More Premium. The sales representative from Iselect has perfect information about the actual premium a customer has to pay would be way higher after taking Lifetime Health Cover Loading into consideration. But he didnt inform me. I was startled to be informed the actual premium I have to pay is $42 higher 10… Read more

days after I switched to a new insurance company. If you are thinking of switching insurance company through Iselect, please ask the actual premium you got to pay after adding Lifetime Health Cover Loading. I don't want any customer mistakenly think that new premium with the new insurance company is lower with a new policy with a new insurance company. You may end up paying way more than staying with your existing insurance company.

Would have given a 5 star rating of the customer service officer had got our last names correct. I specifically told him that my last name was spelt in two words but it turned out being joined. According to your AI chat box, I would have to go provide supporting documentation to correct this which seems unfair to me as the officer got our last names incorrectly spelt in the first place. Show reply

Patric W. From I - Select contacted me regarding my private health cover. I discussed with him my current health cover and it seemed that I was paying too much monthly payments for products I didn’t need. Including the increase from 1st April, I will be saving around $25 per mth switching to another health provider. Thank you Patric W. Show reply

They phoned me dozens of times with fake numbers. I asked them to stop but they persist in calling even after telling them I have no interest in their services. I have blocked all the numbers they call from, and if you return some of the calls, you find out the number is just a spoofed number. I personally think this badgering of people should be considered harassing and be deemed a criminal offence.

If I can give them a minus start, I would. They referred us to AMH 4 weeks ago, which we agreed to go ahead with, but our current fund still advised that there has been no contact from AMH to transfer the policy over. There is indeed no communication from AMH to us, no policy, no membership information, nor have been sent to us or emailed. The… Read more

I purchased life insurance through iselect. They recommended AIA Advantage Plus cover. We discuss what I would need to do to make a claim. I was assured that my family could make a claim if I became terminally ill. I thought AIA were promising a better tomorrow when I paid for “peace of mind for my family.” I asked iselect and AIA what would… Read more

happen if I was unable to communicate to make a claim because I was ever in a coma and couldn’t communicate. AIA checked with the claims team and said yes, your wife/next of kin and named beneficiary could make a claim if you can’t communicate because yours in a coma.

Well, I was dying in a coma from “terminal heart failure” and “cardiogenic shock”. All documented by the ICU Drs and end stage heart failure team. My wife tried to claim, with hospital social worker and student social worker present on a speakerphone call.

AIA refused to even generic questions. AIA did NOT keep the phone call recording because it was erased. AIA did NOT check the this out by contacting the hospital social worker. AIA REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE CLAIM.

All of this is unlawful in Australia. All of this denied access to the claims process. All of this guaranteed that my family did NOT have peace of mind when I was dying in a coma.

Can anyone trust AIA insurance?

iselect no longer sell life insurance on their own. My union-owned health insurance company no longer sells AIA life insurance products.

Inaccurate information and very pushy sales tactics. Lots of glowing reviews here… but I suspect they are from “influencers”. I was wanting to compare electricity plan prices. The information they presented on my existing company (Origin) did not reflect Origin’s current plans, and presented Origin in a worse light than other companies they were… Read more

“comparing” to.

First phone calll from iSelect came in about 10 seconds after I entered my phone number… I had not even had time to read any of the information they sent.

Then the phone calls keep coming, at about hourly intervals, with slight variations on their Caller ID so you can’t block them.

I will never touch iSelect again.

I recently contacted iSelect and was very disappointed with the experience. I was told that everything must be done online and that there was no option to actually speak with a representative.

these kinds of decisions, and unfortunately iSelect did not provide that option. In the end, I did all the research and legwork myself, and by speaking to another provider directly I was able to secure a much better deal.

Very good in some ways but very high pressure. Got multiple calls the first day I enquired. PS: The person I spoke to was helpful and knowledgeable on the range of products that iSelect offered. So other than the selling pressure and multiple calls, all in all, I did get value out of my dealings with this service
