Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

Big points earn then!

More like a trickle.

I think that's why some said to stash huge balances in the account (but that said, you'd still have to wait patiently for a year with that kind of balance to get a good pay off).

Just checked mine. 126 points. Better than a poke in the eye, I guess.

Yep mine posted too, 166 points for me and 96 for my wife.

2400 overnight earned 9 points ...

 

[AusTraveller]

I checked my account and I have a few points too. Only just got the funds in the account in the last few days of the month, so let's see what a full month brings.....

 

[serfty]

it's .4 of a point for every whole $100 end of day balance, so 10 pts per night for $2500. You may effectively earn no points for balances less then $300 - not sure if part points are awarded.

$2000 left for 30 days would earn 240 QFF points - for many it would be better elsewhere, depending on how you value your points.

Can you setup an automatic fortnightly funds transfer? Well for three months only. Still yet to lodge application.

Yes, I set up an auto transfer of $500 per week for the next 52 weeks. I can change the amount, frequency or length of time should I change my mind.

I'm waiting to get my 10K in points and also interested to see how this cow can be milked. A transaction today for $1.99 should get me 5 points. Rinse and repeat.

7700 should earn 30.8 -> 30 per day. From 10Apr to 10May should earn 900 at least.

As disclosed in clause 1 of the terms and conditions, fractions of points are held over to the next month.

They probably have the month starting and ending on day dot...

So 21 days would be credited, then 31 day will be completed in the next few weeks (sunday May 31st to be exact!).

Of course - however, 492 still does not compute.

$7700 that's 10th to 30th April being 21 days at 77 x 0.4 per day.

I 'walked' $2,000 across 4 different ACs over 4 nights.

Overnight appearance from BW to CBA - nice

So there should be 4 x 8 (32) points for that walk ?

Another two or three months (walks) to go !

 

[serfty]

It's 0.4 QFF points per day for every $100.

$2000 in one account overnight should earn 8 points for that account.

 

[Warks]

I finally reached the head of the queue and got the email today so they are still chasing more dupes/points hounds for this offer.

I guess it's hard to pass up 10K points for doing not much. Not sure I could be bothered with all the chicanery involved in earning points through multiple tiny transactions though. Will probably just milk it for three months and shut it down. Good info in this thread though - allows one to make an informed decision.

Edit - also it's open until 18 July now.

 

[benjy]

Just applied for this account today, 10k points for having a debit account is a sweet deal.

 

[risaka]

just activated the card today and made a couple $1 transactions at woolies to test whether the 5 points per transaction works or not.

Be careful if you plan to do multiple transactions with PayPal. I've been suspended . Dealing with PayPal makes Citi look outstanding!

Suspect Paypal think these may be fraudulent!
