Saving on my MediShield Life Premium with Heathy365

I have been redeeming my Healthy 365's Healthpoints for HPB vouchers to use at the supermarkets for many years, this year there's something special - I can use my Healthpoints to offset my Medishield Life health insurance premiums.. It is a better deal in dollar terms as 750 Healthpoints can redeem a $10 discount, whereas 750 Healthpoints can only redeem a $5 HPB voucher. According to the StraitsTimes article, this premium discount initiative will run as a pilot for three years before review.

I have converted some of my Healthpoints to get a $50 discount this year. 

To view the premium discount redeemed and used, you can login to CPF website online (CPF mobile does not show it) and navigate to My cpf --> Healthcare --> MediShield Life premium discount history.


Do note that the premium discounts are valid only for one year from the date of redemption. No action is needed for the usage as this amount will be credited back to the Medisave account after the full sum of  Medishield Premium has been deducted (appearing as a separate line of transaction in the Statement.)

For more information, you can also refer the CPFB FAQ page.

Each Healthpoint earned has a 6 months validity duration, so don't forget to redeem them from your "Wallet" in the app before they expire!

I find that my cute Huawei Band 10 is able to capture my sleep hours more accurately than the HPB watch that I had. It also furnishes me with more sleep data eg. how many hours of light sleep, REM sleep etc. Syncing with Health365 app is also seamless after I have sorted out the initial syncing problem. As long as there's network connectivity, the data captured by the Huawei Health app will be synced automatically to Healthy365 without needing to open the app or press anything.

Thanks for reading.

The best credit card for my new house renovation

As updated in my previous post, I have finally bought my own place. For the past few months I have been busy coordinating with various contractors and vendors for my house renovation. As I am still on A flexi work schedule, I decided to be my own ID. With only a simple renovation plan in mind, I set my reno budget at $20,000 (aircon & fixtures inclusive). The renovation process and acting as my own ID were not as easy as I thought. It took me about a month to gather and compare quotations from different contractors and another few weeks to finalize all the things that I need my chosen contractor to do. I eventually settled for a main contractor who specializes in carpentry work but also provides painting, tiling and electrical services. I have grossly underestimated the amount of defects that need fixing for this resale flat. Fortunately, the floor tiles and some of the existing built-ins are still in good condition so I kept them, otherwise I would have burst my budget. The first ...

Reflections for year 2024

2024 has been a relatively peaceful year. So peaceful that I have read countless novels and other books, met my sports buddies almost every weekend and picked up horticulture. Physical and mental health As we say, health is wealth. I have stuck fairly consistently with my exercise regime and tried to include more fruits and vegetables in my meals (although I eat out more and cook less these days). My weight, BP and cholesterol levels are doing ok. For those 40 years and above, remember to get your  subsidized health screenings from the government . Working less and meeting up with friends more contributed to an improved mental health. I see that the government has stepped up on initiatives in the community but work place initiatives from employers still seemed lackluster, especially for those who can't WFH and need to commit 44 hours or more a week at frontline work. I have also started a Gratitude journey to celebrate all my little life milestones. Financials Investment wise ...

Shit happens and I lost my low-hanging fruits

My POSB SAYE account just hit its 25th month —the much-anticipated “month of maturity.” I was all ready to enjoy the 3.5% bonus interest I’d patiently saved for… only to receive a measly $17+ cash gift instead of a few hundred dollars. I was about to send a message to query the bank what caused this interest drop versus what I have gotten on the 13th month. Confused, I double checked my account history and— gasp! —found a single $50 transfer I’d made to a joint account in one of the past months. I hadn’t even realized that I’d chosen the SAYE account as the fund transfer source. For those unfamiliar with the T&Cs of POSB SAYE: “To receive the additional 3.5% p.a. Cash Gift Interest, ensure that you do not make any withdrawal from your POSB SAYE account.”   “If a withdrawal is made in the month, this will result in the previously accumulated additional 3.5% p.a. interest to be forfeited.” Yes, one tiny transfer = months of bonus interest gone . Even depositing it back the...
