Hi all,
I've opened, and subsequently closed, previous ETA accounts with mebank prior to 3/03/14 after getting my $50 (Thanks ozBargain!). According to the rep on the mebank thread, I'm eligible for the 5% cashback if I open a new ETA account.
However I decided to send them a message just to make sure and this was the reply:
Dear quirki,
Thank you for your email.
You are correct that your accounts were closed before that date, but because you had an Everyday Transaction >Account, at any date before the 3 March 2014, the promotion does not apply.
It only applies to customers who are opening an Everyday Transaction Account for the very first time, after the >03/03/2014. Not to customer's who have ever previously held an Everyday Transaction Account.
I hope this clears it up.
Anyone else having dramas?
the t&cs are a bit vague "Customers with ETAs opened prior to 3/03/14 are not eligible to participate". that could be interpreted as currently open or ever opened.
