Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

[illumination]

First part is true but its 1c/transaction. I can still do 50 in a day with largest being a 10c transaction.

How come you increase it to $0.10 if $0.01 works fine? Just so it doesn't look so funny?

50 transactions/day is the Bankwest imposed limit isn't it?

Because Optus have a block on doing the same transaction repeatedly. Others can probably tell you what it is but I think its something like 15 or 20 minutes until you can make another 1c transaction. 5 times 10 transactions (1c to 10c) can be scheduled to run 4 hourly. So its just a convenience thing.

50 trans is indeed a BW restriction.

And that's why people are trying to get the additional card (whilst keeping the old one active) so they can try and maximise their transactions on two separate cards?
So that implies the limitation is per card and not per account.
And if you maximise "efficiency" by maxing out $0.01 per transaction, then you can only make $0.50 ($0.01 x 50) worth of payments per card per day.

From an earlier experience, I knew that if you didn't pay Optus for a few days, then the 10 minute wait for a payment of the same amount didn't apply, for at least the first day, once you resumed.

In mid January I took a 3 day break (Tue-Thu) from Optus payments and since then, I have been able to pay the same amount repeatedly, without having to wait 10 minutes between each payment. Initially I thought the weekend was preventing the 10 minute restriction be reapplied, however there is still no 10 minute restriction around 2 weeks later.

I don't know if you need to take a break from paying your Optus account, to be rid of the 10 minute restriction, and whether that break must only include business days, or can include weekends or public holidays. I also don't know if a break of 2 days or even 1 day would work as well.

The restriction of 10 payments in 3 hours still applies though. (Note, this rule is that you can only make 10 payments to your Optus account in any 3 hour period. You do not have to wait 3 hours after completing your 10th payment. Just make sure when you want to make a payment, that you have only made 9 payments in the last 3 hours.)

Also, for anyone interested, the code for the continue button for Telstra payments, is in this post.

 

[NoName]

From what I can ascertain that code does not work on chrome. Only works for Firefox. If anyone knows how to code the same thing in chrome I'd love to hear it otherwise it's a matter of clicking the continue button as mentioned.

 

[DnM]

PMed both of you.

WOW!!! Thanks Veeedka. It is running well.
I've never had so much fun watching a screen.

 

[njba]

When do the points usually get posted?

 

[coles525]

5th of each month, if not days later.

 

[burmans]

5th of each month, if not days later.

10 days later in January, I'm hoping that was the holidays as opposed to the new norm.

Can anyone PM me the imacro script for Telstra payments also? I would really appreciate it. Have just spent an hour trying to work it out without any luck! Thanks guys.

 

[simcat]

Yes, I would also greatly appreciate the Telstra imacro if there is a kind soul out there...

 

[scubabe]

I read the whole thread start to finish, installed iMacro and worked it out myself. It's really not that hard, all the instructions are in this thread! I'd never be so cheeky as to ask someone to hand me something on a silver platter.

How about you post with what exactly your issue is, where it's not working, and perhaps someone can help you fix that part, rather than relying wholly on others to get you going?

I like your helpful attitude!

I'm on the fence with this one. I agree with not expecting people to spoonfeed you, but on the other hand, not everyone has the same level of expertise/familiarity with "tech". There's no "dummies" guide here either, you'd have to sift through pages upon pages to compile all the "instructions" to figure out how to really do it.

Similarly, you're a bit harsh. I wouldn't say it's "cheeky" (you're making an accusation here).

From an efficiency point of view (if it takes long to setup), it's more efficient for someone to share the work they've already done so that someone who's already spent 3 hours on it is able to save someone else that time that they spent figuring it out themselves anyway.

Just my $0.02.

 

[N860CR]

Just my $0.02.

paid, of course, in 2 X $0.01 transactions

 

[illumination]

Haha! Yes. 48 transactions remaining for today.
Do you know if it's a per-account restriction or a per card?

It's per card, so if one has say three cards for the same account then the limit is 150 (50 on each)

OK, well this is what I have and it's not working because saved payment button is not found. Obviously the X's are where my account number is. Help please?

"saved payment button"?? Are you sure you are starting at the right webpage?

Try starting with:
URL GOTO=https://www.my.telstra.com.au/myaccount/paybill?pvt_access_mode=true#empty

You can then just go through the process manually and record a macro.

I thought it was a "continue-button", at least that's my issue.

Also there is another unsuthorised payment step for the second time you make a payment. At least for me.

I find in firefox, playing the macro again will take care of the make another payment button step.

So I'm in Firefox now.
This is the new script
But as soon as it leaves the first page, I get a Telstra page saying 'My Account is not available..."
