Bankwest Transaction account [General Discussion]

[Buzzard]

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

PayPal is an eBay company so no surprise there

Have we confirmed for certain that the first 'month' is the first 30 days from opening your account and not the first full calendar month? If it's not the latter then I've probably missed out on the 10K. My own fault, really.

Took the plunge and signed up . Have been looking for a good reason to change accounts ....more points sounds like a good reason

 

[djchuckles]

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.

How/where did you check to see how many points you earned?

Check your activity statement on QFF.

Log onto your QFF account and look at your point activity.

My April points posted May 6th ...

Gotcha - bit premature then as my account only got activated in May...

Just signed up. Has anyone had to pay the $0.25 fee for internet bank transactions to non Bankwest accounts?

After transferring through some accounts I actually paid (bpay) some bills with the $$$ ...

I have transfered funds between the BW account and St George each way and see no $0.25 fee on the account.

Thanks for the feedback.

Has anyone got May accrued points credit to QFF account? Mine still hasn't shown up, and my April points did not show either.

A 500%+ increase ...

Looks like you are getting the hang of it

 

[blackcat20]

Just signed up, so looking forward to some points after a little money shuffling.

The first was only for $2000 for a portion of a month, the second was for $4,000 for a full month. Today I will transfer in another $2,000 and when it hits the account bpay a bill of nearly $6,000. This last transfer in will meet the 3 months condition so next month I expect 10,000 plus a little. Whether I continue to use it as my everyday no interest account remains to be seen. I have yet to use the debit card.

Month 3 of points posting is hopefully be the one I'm really looking forward to, assuming this will be where we see the 10K bonus (it's really month 4 for the account seeing posting is in arrears).

Interestingly it doesn't show up in the cards and banking category.

A little disappointed - but money doesn't sit long and most of the points are from transactions under $1
