Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

[serfty]

Ha! ... using the card to pay Aldi for a 99¢ packet of crumpet - ½% CC fee totaling 0¢ invoked ...

I just went into a branch and switched back to the standard card. Will update with the results once I receive it.

Update for this one:
i have not physically received the card yet. However, when I log in online and go to the self service > activate cards section I have a new standard account card sitting in there waiting to be activated. Completely new card number. So I suspect when I receive the new card I will be able to make 50 transaction per day on the original standard card, platinum card AND new standard card received when downgrading back to standard account. 150 transactions per day coming up!

Pages after pages of "Credit Card Payment Processing Fee Payment processed to bill number xx_xx_xx_x issued on xx-xx-2014 $0.001".

Come to think of it, this is way more than 1% of $0.01... I recall increasing some transactions to pay the whole bill before the expiry; I must have paid some $0.10 instalments.

Ah, that makes sense - I can't imagine they would total the transaction fees for the entire bill. 1% of 1c is still charged as 0c.

My last bill had a few $0.0002 charges on it.

Bonus points are showing on my statement issued last night

Just need them to land now.

Oh, so what was the total "credit card fee" you had to pay?

 

[hossein_au]

Oh, so what was the total "credit card fee" you had to pay?

Mine was a tad over $1.

Can anyone tell me whether Bpay qualifies for points?

It equated to 1% of my total bill

So...the 10k offer is back on.
Anything in the T&C's excluding people who have already taken up the offer previously and cancelled their card (like yours truly did 2 months ago), from signing on again for another 10k serve of points?

 

[blackcat20]

Despite promise to manually credit my points they have not appeared. Another phone call is in order...

 

[QF WP]

tried to open an account 2 days ago but their online address search (meant to be on home address), instead returned possible address matches for my postal address (suburb of PO Box somehow became searched street address), so immediate set up rejected as they were unable to verify my identity electronically. FAIL

Now having to waste an hour trotting into the Queen Street Mall branch with ID. Then get phone call this morning from guy who works in the Warringah Mall branch?? He was good enough to set up appt with person in Queen Street Mall branch, but why wasn't application follow up automatically routed to her in the first place??? Partial fail

Seeing a lot of these error messages today "We are unable to determine that status of your transaction" paying Optus account.

Paying a different amount each time.
Waiting 10 minutes between each transaction doesn't fix it either.

Anyone else seeing this?

 

[QF WP]

Transaction account now set up - thanks to Breanna. Did laugh at the term PAN and divulged my usage of the word .

 

[thehound]

I only get hit by fees when I do a larger payment. My 1c payments were hit with no fee but from memory my 5c ones were.

My 5c payments aren't getting charged any CC fees.

No issue here for me, payments going through fine

 

[blackcat20]

Seems I won't be getting my points till next month, despite them being due this month. Painful.

Nothing here either. And they told me it'll take a couple of months.
