    • MathNerd on 01/11/2017 - 17:23

        $19.94

        Couldn't put through 3x $0.01 at Woolworths. Repeated transactions were rejected. Ended up doing $0.01, $0.02, $0.03, so CBA knows I'm not just double tapping for the same transaction.

        • MathNerd on 09/11/2017 - 17:06

          Wow they rejected the transactions? That's dodgy as!

        • SomeGuyOnOzB on 10/11/2017 - 00:47
          +1

          @MathNerd:
          I paid $0.01; that was fine.
          I paid $0.01 again; this got rejected a couple times. (I assume the system thought it was a double or triple entry of the same thing)
          So I paid $0.02; that was fine.
          I tried $0.01 again; still got rejected.
          So I paid $0.03; that was fine.

          I'm assuming it thought the attempts with the same value, so close to each other, could be the system re-sending the same request and so it rejects them.

      They already have you by the b'''s, so no need to spend on you because these days with all the debits and payments coming out of accounts, people are lazy to change. Simple customer acquisition technique to make the mum and dad CBA investors/instos happy that the bank is 'growing'

      "The entitlement is strong with this one"

      • Blunglefortness on 01/11/2017 - 20:50

        It's not really an issue of entitlement. It's an issue of loyalty to existing customers is effectively non existent these days, and more often than not, the reverse is true.

    • Diji1 on 01/11/2017 - 17:35

      So close all your accounts and then open a new account.

    • dm01 on 01/11/2017 - 19:26

      @iversonjack - Penalised would be if CBA were taking the $20 from accounts of existing customers to give to the new ones. I think your sense of what constitutes a "penalty" might be off.

      • rifter on 01/11/2017 - 22:39

        So where do you think the $20 is coming from if not from existing customers?

        • dm01 on 01/11/2017 - 23:33

          Same place wages for staff come from, same place their money for advertising comes from, same place their dividends for shareholders comes from…the profits they make from the money customers have deposited there that the bank then lends or invests.

          Rest assured, no customer will have $20 deducted from their account, and given to one of the 30,000 who qualify for this promotion.

          -1

          @dm01:
          So you agree. The $20 comes from the earnings generated from the customers money that is not distributed back to the customer. This is money that could and should be otherwise disturbed to all customers not just a few. If you are not getting it you are paying for it.

        • dm01 on 02/11/2017 - 00:31

          @rifter: Nope, disagree, and your ridiculous misrepresentation of my original statement ("Penalised would be if CBA were taking the $20 from accounts of existing customers to give to the new ones.") just makes you look foolish.

          You get back from the bank exactly what you agree to based on the T&C's of the account you open with them and the interest rate that applies to that account, as well as access methods and services connected to that account.

          If you can't ply your mind to comprehend that simple fact, god help you in this world.

        • Mister LoLPants on 02/11/2017 - 08:51

          straight out of the marketing budget, $20 per user is a small amount to pay for customer acquisition

          @dm01:
          O how strange it would be to be a slave to the T&Cs put forward by our banks. No need for gods help here. I pity those who let others take their money and do with it as they please because they know or can afford no other way. Good luck being a slave to society. I hope by lifes end you feel you have made the right choices and had a worthwhile existence on this planet.

        • dm01 on 02/11/2017 - 21:33

          @rifter: No one will have money taken from their accounts to fund the $20 cash-back. Good luck being a slave to stupidity and ignorance.

          "Or Apple Pay…."

          From what I've read, only one of the four major banks was prepared to accept Apple's conditions of access to the NFC reader in the iPhone. The other three banks wanted direct access to the reader for use with their banking apps but apple refused. So for Commbank at least, you have to stick a NFC tag to the phone to use with the Commbank app.

      Why are you still on VISA anyway ? VISA DEBIT charges higher surcharges to merchants, get Mastercard Debit more goodies, lower surchages for things like bill payments, airfares. Its free anyway, so ask for a conversion from VISA to MASTERCARD

      • darwin123 on 01/11/2017 - 14:51

        Because that is the card I had for the last 17 years and all my reward points are on it.

        If I swap over to mastercard, I presume I will lose all my points?

        • regenade on 01/11/2017 - 15:09

          Loyalty doesn't pay anymore these days. The points are usually tied to the account and usually you are swapped to what is called in banking terms a new BIN card product, so go and have that chat :P

        • Curiouscat on 01/11/2017 - 16:58

          Call them up and ask them, can you send me a master card debit card. I would like to have my present card working and a debit mastercard to avail offers from mastercard.

          There is no reason for them to say a No on this.

          If the call center representative says it's not possible, ask for a manager.

          Source : Partner used to work as a manager for call center division in Melbourne on Collins St.

        • douglasac10 on 02/11/2017 - 00:19

          No, you will keep your points, they will transfer at some point within five days to four weeks to the new account.

          As to why they've excluded Visa cards from this, I suspect it's because that, apart from the Business Visa Debit, they don't issue Visa cards to new customers anymore (and haven't for a number of years), just Mastercard, Amex and eftpos cards.

    • pcox on 01/11/2017 - 14:49

      MasterCard are their sworn enemy. Therefore in the battle of competing multinationals, American Express and Visa are excluded.

    • Pecan on 01/11/2017 - 14:57

      Share with your friends then ask them to buy you a coffee (or whatever) for their first tap. Your protest will have zero impact on CBA and you still end up with nothing.
