So is that because of a lot of transactions, or you have parked a lot in the account?

Just a shade over 1,600 points for the month for me. Better than a slap in the face.

Both. Drive a lot of funds through the account plus a "shop" each working day for less than $2. A transaction earns 5 points IIRC.
My transactions are usually something like a bottle of water or a packet of chewy. Or both seperately. :mrgreen:

Good choice. My business loan has an offset account so all the business cash is there. My own cash is split with half or so with Bankwest.

I got the email saying the 10k points offer is on until 18 July 2014, will definitely look into getting it.

​

2. Sorry sir but you have not activated the card yet --- Yes I have --- It is all fixed now sir.
3. Sorry sir you have not set up a pin yet --- Yes I have --- It is all fixed now sir.
4. If travelling OS you need to fill in a form and ring us to advise --- form filled in --- No need to do the form sir i will take the details on the phone.
5. Go to use card in KL --- Card does not work at several locations --- phone Bankwest --- card and account look OK sir no issues that we see.

Card still does not work :!: I have sent emails. One 12 hours ago and one just now --- no response yet.

I have transferred now $1500 (daily limit) from the account to my CBA account so I can use my own money.

VERY frustrating.​

Further to my last I now have a reply. I know it says to ring them if I have issues but I have to say 'been there done that'

Not much use IMHO.

Well arrived home to a new card from Bankwest for my transaction account - I had been using the card for transactions - so thought what is happening but nope bankwest advised that my batch of cards appear to have some problems being accepted at some retailers so they have re-issued the cards to those that it may effect.

 

[coles525]

Same with us today: x2 new cards.

Thanks for the update. I too received a second card in today's mail; nothing with it to say why. Was going to just shred the new card so now I guess I should try both cards before I shred one of them. Of course I could always give one of the cards & PIN to +1:shock:

That may explain, but not help, my issues.

Decided to put through a few $1.00 (+ a $2.15) transactions at Coles today, 20 point earn better than 5 points I would've earned with QCash

 

[coles525]

I can only ever manage self service shopping for everything cheap!

Today shoukd get us 40 points, for just 8 transactions.

Cheapest two were plain flour at 80c each...

Last months "shopping" and savings is over 200 points (mainly cheap shopping) plus some $1000 daily accoint balance.

Just waiting for a return call from BW, as hopefully only I have made the error (I've got a spreadsheet of spending and saving).

Many $1 payments or transactions have been made to pay things.

 

[coles525]

Does anyone know when we will recieve statements for our QFF account (From BW?)

Haven't recieved anything yet, can't even see an option/info on their website.

I now have 3 cards for the same account! I complained about the first one, got a replacement and now this one. I hope it works. I hadn't got around to calling them again......
