On phone, but saw this offer. Similar to previous open a CBA account and get $50 bonus.

For this one you have to open a My Wealth account (takes 2 mins for existing CBA) and 'make a trade' or maintain a balance of $1,000+ for 4 weeks.

You also get a free debit mastercard that you can use with the account, which means no booking fee when not actually being able to book a jetstar deal.

*$50 bonus cash offer is available only to new MyWealth customers who open an account via the link on this page and make a trade by the offer expiration date of 31 July 2013, or deposit a minimum of $1,000 into their MyWealth linked Commonwealth Direct Investment Account by no later than 31 July and maintain a balance of at least $1,000 for a 4 week period. The offer is only applicable to one new MyWealth account and is not transferrable. We reserve the right to terminate this offer or amend these terms and conditions at any time without notice. Normal MyWealth terms and conditions apply unless otherwise specified here.

Edit: Title updated for sssx :)

22/6: T&C's have changed. Only available to those who received email

      i read it as you just need a min of $1k in your account for a 4 week period any time before 31 july. after you have completed a 4 week period you should be able to withdraw.

      you get charged a $0.30 fee per withdrawal. you want to make sure you don't overdraw the account or you might get hit with a $10 overdrawn account fee. i will leave $1 in there

    Alright everyone, I would not usually be a proponent of extreme paranoia but given the previous incident with CBA, I believe this is in order http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/104144.

    I STRONGLY urge everyone to:

    1. Firstly, take a screenshot of the current promo page. Best way to do it would be to use the Chrome browser and print as PDF with headers and footers shown so that your screenshot is time-stamped.
      http://screencast.com/t/NsZhiN3Lz0H

    2. Apply IMMEDIATELY. Do not delay even one bit. If CBA end the promotion early you will be out of luck and will be kicking yourself. Do it NOW!

    3. Once account is open, wait until the absolute last day (i.e 31/07/2013) before you make your deposit. However, make sure that you time the transfer in a way that the deposit CLEARS into CBA by that day.

    4. Wait for cash.

    5. Once cash received, transfer it out immediately and CLOSE ACCOUNTS (unless you actually want to continue using them with no relation to this promo).

    CBA is very sneaky so if you want their cash, you have to be diligent too. No room for error.

    • PissLUR on 19/06/2013 - 20:39
      +9

      dont leave it til last minute. you have to keep the 1,000 for at least 4 weeks. so it doesnt really matter to transfer it now or later.

      • spendinghacker on 19/06/2013 - 20:45
        -5

        Yes it does if you have the money in a ME Savings account earning the 4.75% p.a bonus interest.

        CBA will pay you bugger all on your $1,000

        • sssx on 19/06/2013 - 21:39
          +6

          The point is, 4 weeks is 4 weeks, no matter which day it starts on.

        • spendinghacker on 20/06/2013 - 14:38

          I think they pay everyone at the same time so if you transfer the money sooner, you will simply have it sitting in the CBA account longer instead of earning interest on it.

          That's why I recommended people wait till the last minute

        • spendinghacker on 22/06/2013 - 15:55

          The T&Cs have now been amended.

          Everyone will get paid around September 15 so no point doing the transfer before July 31.

          Also, they have done the CBA 'bait and switch' trick again and have changed the T&Cs. Promotion is now by invitation only.

  • delfredo on 19/06/2013 - 20:39

    What if I already have a CDIA account for an existing Comsec account? If I open a MyWealth account, do I qualify, and will I get another CDIA account?

    • aboutconfig on 19/06/2013 - 21:05
      +3

      Yes you will have a new CDIA account which is linked to your new MyWealth account.
      The old one you have could have linked to your commsec account.

  • aboutconfig on 19/06/2013 - 21:07

    So does anywhere say when you'll get the $50 bonus? just after 4 weeks of your deposit/trade?
    or a fixed time after the offer expired date which is 31th July?

    • spendinghacker on 19/06/2013 - 21:11
      +1

      No, it doesn't.

      Just says you gotta keep the money with CBA for 4 weeks. Doesn't say how soon after that will you get the cash.

      Either way, I would recommend that once the money is in there, you do not touch it until you get your bonus. That's why, I suggest that there is no point transferring the money needed to qualify prior to the July 31 deadline.

      However, you should open the account NOW if you want the cash and before CBA change their mind.

  • sssx on 19/06/2013 - 21:40
    +4

    Maybe you should reword the title so it's a little clearer (or maybe it's just me). I read it as you have to deposit $1,000 a week for 4 weeks to qualify, not that you have to deposit $1,000 and leave it for 4 weeks.

      Fees for overseas purchases needing currency conversion is pretty normal.

      • spendinghacker on 20/06/2013 - 14:45

        Correct.

        In Australia, there is currently only ONE TRANSACTION ACCOUNT and TWO CREDIT CARD products that do not charge any currency conversion or overseas withdrawal fees. Not surprisingly, none of them are with CBA.

        However, one product that offers that is all you need. This means you CAN COMPLETELY avoid paying currency conversion and overseas withdrawal fees. You just need to be smart about which products you use.

        • Agret on 20/06/2013 - 14:49

      I would advise strongly that you move away from CBA. As a former CBA customer I know the pain. Compare that with the treatment that i get from ingdirect. I was literally 8 cents overdue with ing. Instead of getting a $30 overdrawing fee which would have been ridiculous they gave me an email saying that I got 3 days to pay it back and they did not charge me a cent.For overseas purchases look at other accounts such as citibank and 28 degrees mastercard.

    Hey guys,
    What's the process for getting this bonus if you're not with CBA?
    From my understanding, I created a MyWealth account with a linked CDIA account; using my main account I am to transfer $1000 into the CDIA account, then transfer that $1000 into the MyWealth account and then wait 4 weeks to get the $50 bonus. This is correct?

    • demiurge on 20/06/2013 - 10:34

      don't transfer to mywealth, just leave it CDIA for 4 weeks.

      • karn1911 on 20/06/2013 - 10:34

        Thanks!

  • Elppa8 on 20/06/2013 - 10:34

    From the FAQ

    When you open a new MyWealth Investment Account, your linked MyWealth CDIA cash account will be the default bank account where any dividends paid by companies where you hold shares will be credited.
    So if your dividend are being paid into another bank it will be changed?

    • demiurge on 20/06/2013 - 10:34

      only if you transfer those share to mywealth from your old broker.

I already have an existing CDIA account with my current Comsec account. I wonder if that means I'm not eligible, despite signing up for it through the site?
