Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

[Radio8tiv]

If you have ever held the account EVER don’t bother

Thanks for pointing this out, looks like I'll miss out on this one. Would have been nice to get some points from them again. I can't even use any of my family as I signed them all up last time.

If you have ever held the account EVER don’t bother

Or if you currently hold any other Bankwest transaction account or if you've closed any other Bankwest transaction account in the last 30 days.

"Or if you have previously held a bankwest trsnsaction account" quoted directly after your reply / quote.

"Or if you have previously held a bankwest trsnsaction account" quoted directly after your reply / quote.

deejo77 previously drew attention to the clause about if you ever previously held a Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account. I additionally drew attention to the clause about if you already hold any other Bankwest transaction account or if you have closed such an account in the past 30 days.

It is not clear what you are trying to draw attention to but it has probably already been stated.

Other than on OzB, I see no mention of the 10k bonus on the Bankwest website. Where is it hiding?

 

[Strategic Aviation]

The OzBargain post provides the link to the T&Cs. It's section 4.3 on page 4.

Since the auto 1c payment departure, I can't really see much point in this. 10k bonus, big deal. 5 points per transaction … only good if you make lot's of small payments (which I personally don't). Am I missing something else?

 

[Strategic Aviation]

Possibly, possibly not. As stated on OzBargain, "depending on your points valuation and tax brackets may not be too bad for some".

I qualify and will easily will make > 10 x $2 payments here or int. for 10k QF pts. One question though, do I need to deposit a min amount?

I don't think to set up. But $2000 a month to avoid the account keeping fee ($6 per month).

 

[get me outta here]

I reckon $12 for 10k points is not a bad deal. Maybe I could knock that down to $6 to show I am abiding by the spirit of the deal. Or, need to work out the exact date for the deposit/withdraw/redeposit.

 

[Daver6]

Still seems a little strange that the only place the bonus points are mentioned are buried in a legal document and not advertised on the main page.

 

[Strategic Aviation]

Presumably because the offer doesn't commence until tomorrow. That PDF is dated 18 June 2018

4.3 Bonus Points promotion running 18 June 2018 to 31 August 2018

Version 7.0
18 June 2018

I'm keen on this so I'll just keep watching the Bankwest site until they advertise the 10,000 bonus...

I had an online chat with a Bankwest rep who confirmed the 10000 points deal was unadvertised but valid so I went ahead
and opened an account as my current transaction account was doing zero for me. It was a painless procedure so we will wait
and see if all goes smoothly!

 

[get me outta here]

I can see it on line. The 10K points post after the first 2 months of opening.

 

[BudgetFly]

Ah yes, "Get closer to your next holiday with 10,000 bonus Qantas Points when you open a new Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account"

Easy pickings. Open an account fulfil the criteria by putting required cash in for 2 months then buy 10 x $1 chocolates from woollies get 10K points then close the account.

You can do the same thing with QF Red Energy Promotion for 15K
