ING Orange Everyday: Get 5% Back on Every Contactless Purchase under $100 until 30 June 2013
Edited by neil, scotty 30/04/2013 - 18:19
I just received this promotional letter on my mailbox and it seems that it's a good promotional offer from ING.
Things you should know:
The Wave and Save 5% rebate offer is available from 1 October 2012 to 30 June 2013 (“Offer Period”) to all existing Orange Everyday customers (including joint account holders) who request to update to a Visa payWave card and the first 30,000 new ING DIRECT Orange Everyday customers who activate their payWave enabled Visa Debit card during the Offer Period (“Eligible Customers”). The 5% rebate applies on all contactless purchases made by Eligible Customers during the Offer Period on purchase amounts of up to AUD $99.99. The 5% rebate will be made into the Orange Everyday account immediately after transaction settlement.
Call 133464 to get your payWave enabled Visa Debit Card.

They can, and the reason ING is encouraging customers to use contactless is because the credit card transaction rate that the retailer gets charged is higher than if you put your card in the machine and press credit.
The bank gets richer!
I always use savings with my debit card… I hate it when I press credit because it takes a couple of days to finalise and you end up with a different available funds balance and current balance.

Had my bank ring me when I made 3 low value (no PIN required) purchases in Woolies within 15 minutes - as it showed as suspicious activity. So does not seem much more risk with PayWave.
This is my 3rd PayWave enabled Debit card, and I still have not used PayWave. Most stores I use do not (yet) have the equipment, & the only store that did have it - I was buying over $100.

Which Bank - Commonwealth. They rang within 10 minutes of my third purchase.

ING are always great at these sort of promotions. They give me 50c everytime I get $200 out via EFTPOS!
I have this account, but I don't yet have the payWave card yet (only recently introduced by ING). Might have to give them a call for me to send a payWave card to me!

Yeah, I forgot to write per transaction. Always got to be careful on OzB….
Yes, you could keep getting 50c for free up to your daily withdrawal limit, which I can't remember off the top of my head what it is now. You might annoy customers in the check-out line though by doing x times of transactions… Only recommended in self check-out!
the t&c said " The 5% rebate applies on all contactless purchases made by Eligible Customers during the Offer Period on purchase amounts of up to AUD $99.99"
it is purchase not cash withdrawal transaction. we can try and see it first. it is good if it is working, I will put $5k on the account and do 50 withdrawal a day and deposit back to the bank and transfer to ing, do it till next june next year as my additional income :)

it will add up depending on how much your purchase using the card. If you spend $1000 split in 10 purchases, then you get $49 back.

or use self-serve checkouts (if available) where you make the decisions.

No queue updates for me, but I just got off with them after being answered in around 5 mins, which isn't too bad considering they may be getting a small rush of calls from us :D

as i read it, the 30,000 limit is only for new customers. all existing customers get the rebate if they upgrade

http://www.ingdirect.com.au/everyday/orangeeveryday.htm#appl...that's what the direct associate said to me and now my account is all activated!
TheAviator1992 on 03/10/2012 - 18:27 ¶signing up when I get home, thanks OP!
BTW, 30,000 sounds like a lot, it should last a few days
King Tightarse on 03/10/2012 - 18:43 ¶Had the same experience just now.
Be patient, you'll get them eventually
- TheAviator1992 on 03/10/2012 - 18:47 ¶
why not just sign up online? It doesn't say anywhere you need to call them to get the rebate, and it's easier :)
Attention.
I just chat with the Customer service and they said they promotion is for existing customer only..
She keep asking where did I get this information (I said my friend is existing customer)Cilla: You can see there is says 'existing customers'. It is not being offered to new clients.
You: It said "the first 30,000 new ING DIRECT Orange Everyday customers"
Cilla: New to the product, not the bank
Are those that signed up to this deal eligible? http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/73149
+2 votesThis is not entirely true. Contactless payments have other limits (number of consecutive transactions before fallback to chip, maximum cumulative amount ect.) Also some banks require a timeout (few minutes) between two transactions made for the same amount at the same merchant.
But there is no such thing as minimum time between contactless thansactions.
Thust me, chip and contactless payments was my job for several years. :)

I didn't know that they can track transactions by contactless and by chip/swipe.
