        Just do it online -

        "via the promotional link on anz.com, or at a NSW or ACT ANZ branch"

        All i take from that is you can only walk into NSW and ACT branches, doesnt say anything about it only being valid in those states.

      Can you help me understand how this is tax free please? I received $100 in the last deal and in tax filing I was thinking to include it as an income apart from my salary.

      • tomclancy on 01/08/2014 - 12:00

        I think PissLUR means it is not reported as interest income to the ATO automatically. Whether or not you choose to include it in your tax return is your own choice and to your own circumstances.

    Careful you don't inadvertently get stung by fees:

    What fees do you have to pay?

    No monthly account service fee if you deposit at least $2,000 a month2, or if you meet our other eligibility criteria3 (normally $5 a month).

    So you have to put in $2000 a month (e.g. have your salary go in) to avoid fees.

    • easternculture on 01/08/2014 - 10:06

      funny enough, just yesterday i called them to cancel my account and they offered me 1 year fee waiver for account fee's. I took the offer :)

      • vid_ghost on 01/08/2014 - 10:07

          but i already got $100 for the deal few months back. So the fee waiver was a bonus :)

          Also got $10 fee's already charged on my account waived,

    • vid_ghost on 01/08/2014 - 10:06

      $5 a month in fees is still only $60 a year if you forget and you would still end up with $40 in your pocket, its nothing to really worry about.

    • IDontWantToSignUpJu… on 01/08/2014 - 16:02

      Also note they have the ANZ@Work program. If you work for one of the companies on their list you get that fee waived.

      But in the past i've just called them up and said "I was told to call here to get my access account fee waived" and they always do it. So the fee isn't a big deal.

      Just tell them the truth. I just opened to get the free $100 promo.

      When I went in to close at the end of month they tried to charge me the pro rata of $5 fee.

      And they told me this promo will never be ran again coz people were opening and closing. LOL

      So let people know if u really wanna be a ta, close the account on the first day of the month.

    • abc on 01/08/2014 - 11:27

      They are just trying to keep you as a customer. Honestly I don't know why Customer Service would bother really (unless there are incentives for customer retainment - but how would that be measured against individuals I'm not sure). Customer Service does not own the bank they are just employees and it's not like they get paid a Mike Smith kind of salary to be "loyal" :)

      These types of promos are run by marketing specifically to increase customer base. They would have calculated the amount of potential customers (ie. Ozbargainers) who would just take their $100 at the end of month and run. This would have been lower than the amount of customers they would retain (and hence make money by growing their customer base through fees, interest earned, upselling, cross selling, etc).

      Ask yourself if you feel bad about taking $100 from a bank which made $3.5billion profit in the last SIX MONTHS. These are incentives which are skewed in favour of the bank.

    only need to deposit 2k withdraw (to avoid account keeping fees and then close the account after you get your money). im happy to do that; i dont see why its only a ACT/NSW deal? T&C doesn't say its location based only

    some of these comments about account keeping fees for a year are a tad confusing…. you can close your account any time?

  • brownbag on 01/08/2014 - 10:58

  • xyron on 01/08/2014 - 11:17

    $100 free aside, i really don't understand why anyone would bother using ANZ as their primary bank. their ATM network is rubbish, you don't even get fee-free access to your accounts in NZ and other asian countries with ANZ branches/ATMs, their account keeping fee is $5, instead of the $4 charged by WBC/CBA (and instead of the $0 charged by NAB!), their internet banking is nothing fancy, certainly no better than offered by NAB/CBA/BWA (although I do note that WBC's internet banking is total shite)…

    they don't even have any particularly competitive savings account or credit products.

    • frysie on 01/08/2014 - 11:20
      +2

      I'm not going to say no to a free $100 for just depositing $2000 (waiving the account fee of $5/month)and then transferring the money back to my main bank for a month and a bit till i get my $100…

      • xyron on 01/08/2014 - 12:32
        +1

        I was with ANZ from 2001 to 2010 and I am inclined to agree that they have good customer service, but really no better than BankWest or NAB, or even CBA (so long as their call centre is still in Tasmania, as it was circa 2010 when I last had accounts with them). (I have a moral objection to Westpac so have no experience with them).

        For a long time ANZ was the only major bank charging a monthly account keeping fee with no option to waive it if you deposit your salary into the account (as WBC, CBA and NAB all had a the time).

        Maybe there are more ANZ ATMs interstate but in SA, I cannot think of any ANZ ATM that I ever used when I was a customer with them which doesn't also have a CBA ATM within 50 metres of it.

        Indeed, as at 2010, ANZ claimed to have only 2600 ATMs nationwide - compare this to Westpac (2800), CBA (4000), and NAB (3100 including RediATMs).

        I will concede however, that the location of ATMs are just as important as their number. 2000 well placed ATMs are worth more than 5000 poorly placed ones. But I cannot say in my experience that ANZ ATMs are even that particularly well-placed…

        • Ryk on 01/08/2014 - 21:02

          ANZ should really consider partnering with nab and redi.

    • No on 01/08/2014 - 11:38

      I used to have all my banking with ANZ and they are in my opinion the best for customer service. I never had a problem finding an ATM but you are right about them not being competitive compared to everyone else now.

    • Tal_Shiar on 01/08/2014 - 15:04
      +1

      I bank with anz because I find their ATM networks quite good, always around where I shop, where I work and in my travels, also because my 2 previous employers have a business relationship with ANZ I've never paid the $5 a month fee ever (have been with them nearly 13 years now). Each to their own though, I find CBA incompetent and NAB not personable even for a bank

      If I use my Adam ISP connection, geolocation services correctly identify me as being in Adelaide. However if I use Optus 3G mobile data I always get placed in Victoria or NSW as that's where the internet gateway is. Might be handy to get past geoblocking.

      Can you please give the direct address of the link when you put your mouse over the "apply now" button under this deal? I can't see the deal, and so can't see the address.
