It sounds like it’s time to see whether I’m still banned from holding Bankwest products.

Running tens of thousands of 1c Telstra payments through this account years ago is still my all time favourite points earn. Good times!

Yet running a few thousand 1c transactions at Coles and Woolworths, got me kicked out of the program ...

I was kicked out seven years ago now.
I might have another crack too ....

curious, how does one get banned from a bank?

edit: I just saw your reason How did that violate terms?

Comments on OzBargain say to be very wary of this promo. Looks like they'll deny you if you game this promo: Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account: Bonus 10,000 Qantas Points (10 Purchases/Month for First 3 Months) @ Bankwest

That comment is a far stretch from the outright abuse (ie thousands of 1c transactions) that used to occur.

It is in THEIR T&Cs, that the awarding of QFF is at the Bank's discretion ....
When it was 'detected', that I was actively causing 1 cent transactions to occur, the Bank used their 'discretion' to close my account.
I did actually get all the points I amassed. It's just that the Bank drew a line in the sand ....

ooh I actually missed that part. Thanks

 

[exceladdict]

Had no issues with split transactions at ww and coles myself, for the 5k offer, but timing wise I think i'll miss this one.

 

[snabbu]

It's really not a lot of effort for the points imho. I've signed up and set reminders etc

 

[lilkid28]

Anyone who got banned 7 years ago, managed to sign up?

 

[Rick93]

Went through sign up ....
System said, I can't be identified ... despite a DL, Medicare and Passport check !!

Applied yesterday and also for the “got to Aus post” treatment. Did that yesterday lunch time. Have heard nothing yet, not even an email acknowledging the application.

Yes, still nothing for me either (negative or positive), suspect it will be mail rather than email either way now, i.e. either a card or a rejection letter.
