    Guys just an update on this. I called in to their customer service who have confirmed that yes the promotion is on once you sign up on the link. Not sure why the updated page doesn't show Australia wide.

    I then asked the agent to check whether I was eligible for this offer and she says no I'm not. Long story short, I left ANZ and closed my everyday account in March because of their lack of ability to make any human decisions and the fact they they were charging me a $5 monthly fee.

    According to the T&Cs above I do meet their criteria but the agent is telling me something else. Her line was that because I held an access account before and closed it I'm not eligible. I said to her but according to your T&C's I am as I never received any money from ANZ but she is insisting that I am not.

    Are these T&C's above the full version or am I missing some fine print somewhere?

    Edit* I'm in Perth.

    • abc on 01/08/2014 - 13:37

      Try it anyway. Can't hurt to open and close the account again lol.

      As the T&C stated…

      *Have not have previously received $100 from ANZ for opening an ANZ Access Advantage account in 2014

      Doesn't mention anything if you did not receive $100.

  • Foma2 on 01/08/2014 - 13:27

    T&C

    Open an ANZ Access Advantage account:
    a.during the period from 1 August 2014 and 31 August 2014; and
    b.via the promotional link on anz.com, or at a NSW or ACT ANZ branch;

    So I assume an account can be opened online by people living in VIC/TAS/SA/WA/QLD and they still going to be eligible for $100 bonus.
    Am I right ?

    • vid_ghost on 01/08/2014 - 14:59

      it should work. cant hurt to try

      • punter1 on 01/08/2014 - 15:58

        $5 poorer a month

        • snvl on 03/08/2014 - 16:06

          last time they wave the fee if you make a deposit of $2000 each month, no need to leave the money in there. Not sure if it has changed tho.

    • spendinghacker on 06/08/2014 - 18:54

      So I assume an account can be opened online by people living in VIC/TAS/SA/WA/QLD and they still going to be eligible for $100 bonus.
      Am I right ?

      That is correct. I am in QLD and opened my account online.

      A day later I received an email telling me to go to an ANZ branch to do an ID check and setup Internet Banking. The email clearly said that I am eligible for the $$ provided I meet the other T&C's

      Based on past experience with similar promotions by 'the bank that can' (rip you off the most I presume ;) ), this promotion can end at any time and before the official end date.

      Therefore, if you are not an existing ANZ customer with Access Advantage, better hurry up and apply ASAP!

      Just don't forget to close the account as soon as you have been paid. It has account keeping fees and is a very ordinary account in general.

      Bonus Hack: open separate accounts for you and your partner (provided you are both eligible) so you can get paid the $100 twice :)

  • Nighteyes on 01/08/2014 - 13:57

    People who are having issues with the link, try hit the AU version of the home page:
    https://www.anz.com.au/personal/

    The banner on that page should mention the deal.

  • DEvok on 01/08/2014 - 14:00

    Does the $100 have to be included when doing tax returns? If so that means even ebay, or doing market research is also part of income and must be including when doing return???

    • mrjames on 01/08/2014 - 14:41

      Of course. Just because its not prefilled doesn't mean you don't have to pay tax on it. In reality though the ATO have bigger fish to fry.

      • scrypton on 01/08/2014 - 14:46

        It depends on how ANZ decides to categorise the $100 bonus as. If they are categorised as interest, then it would be prefilled. If not, then it is not interest, then I guess in a way it is not "an income" but rather a bonus of some sort.

        For eBay and market research, if you are doing it as a hobby then it is not an income. If you do it for the purpose of making money, then it would be an income.

    FYI:

    Approved my account to get the $100 status (with a QLD address)… so its nationwide not just NSW&ACT

    • vid_ghost on 01/08/2014 - 15:23

      yeah the mods changed it to [NSW & ACT] not sure if i can change it back.

    • c64 on 01/08/2014 - 16:08

      what does "approved my account" mean? does it mean you opened an account or does it mean you actually received a bonus last time?

  • lippy on 01/08/2014 - 15:10

    If I open account then close it, are there any closing account fees?

    • vid_ghost on 01/08/2014 - 15:22

      none at all.. but if you haven't deposited $2000 in the month that you close it you will be charged a $5 fee for "that" month. Pro-rater so wait until after you have fulfilled the required deposit amount to have the fee waved

  • JordanM on 01/08/2014 - 15:31

    According to ANZ on facebook (I messaged them) this is only avalible for customers in NSW/ACT regardless of signing up online.I do agree that the terms do not make that clear.

    • spendinghacker on 06/08/2014 - 18:57

      the terms do not make that clear

      Not only they don't make it clear but there is NOTHING in them to remotely indicate that cash will only be paid to NSW/ACT residents. The only thing it says is that residents of other states need to apply online.

      I applied online (I'm in QLD) and received an email from ANZ a day later clearly saying that I am eligible for the promotion.

      If I have any issues getting my money with them, ANZ will face the wrath of the Spending Hacker and I assure you I am going to win! :)

  • hj0809 on 01/08/2014 - 16:14

    From VIC. The terms say either website OR ACT/NSW branch.

    I went to ANZ main website directly and saw it. Therefore, if I register they are obligated to provide $100. Prepared to fight for my $100!

    Like all these things you will need to read the terms and conditions carefully and make sure you are doing it for the right reasons. There may be no value in you doing this if you are already earning more than this with your existing bank. The bank has obviously considered the investment wirth the excersize.
    Always follow up the bank simply wont just hand it over.
    Make sure it is in your best interest to do so.
    Read the T&C's Carefully first

    • Fobsessive on 02/08/2014 - 20:03

      Q: What interest rate would you need from your existing bank to earn $100 from a $2000 deposit over one week?
      A: 500% per annum.

      Obviously this deal is humongous value.

  • Boshait on 02/08/2014 - 11:56

    No mention of any such promotion on the ANZ.com or ANZ.com.au websites that I can see.

  • quiksmart on 02/08/2014 - 11:59

    I can't see the promotion, with wifi or 3g, pc or mobile. VPN different locations don't work too. Very frustrating.

    If you can see the promotion, can you please copy the promotional link ADDRESS and paste it for us that can't see it?

    I am talking about the address of the link when you put your mouse over the "apply now" button inside the promotion ad, not the address of the page you are seeing the promotion. The address should contain some code to tell ANZ we are coming from the promotion.

      I'm still seeing it (I'm in VIC) but only on my work computer. When I check it on my iphone or my home computer I get the standard version of the page that doesn't have the offer.

      I think they are doing some geoip lookup stuff behind the scenes to try to restrict it to NSW and ACT but they obviously didn't test it properly. Hence some people in other states have been able to access the link and some people like you who are actually in the right states can't see it. Maybe try a different computer/connection?

      I opened my account via the link on Friday even though I'm in VIC; received a confirmation email with the terms of the promo in it.

      Will report back if the $100 gets paid…

  • jm48 on 04/08/2014 - 20:19

    Signup was easy.
    But I get an email "Promotion ANZ Access Advantage Student application"
    It says I have to take ID to any ANZ branch,
    and also "Evidence of your student occupation"
    But I am not a student and never said I was on the application AFAIK.
    There is no mention of Student in the T&C.

      Yeah I got that too. ID check took less than 10 mins in branch, but really shouldn't be necessary in 2014. Plenty of other banks manage to do ID checks online…

      Why cant these big banks fix their legacy systems…

      You want to talk about legacy systems? The lady in the branch who did my ID check was using a desktop running Windows XP…

    • spendinghacker on 06/08/2014 - 19:03

      Why cant these big banks fix their legacy systems and procedures ?

      Agree 100%. ING Direct and ME bank probably have the most painless account opening procedures.

      ANZ and Westpac are also not part of Bank@Post so you can't even go to a post office. Only place to do an ID check is their branches. It sucks but for $100 I'm willing to give them 10 minutes of my time :)

  • TtiGeR on 05/08/2014 - 19:40

    My wife and I both applied.

    She's not existing ANZ customer and I do have an ANZ credit card.

    She received an email titled "Promotion ANZ Access Advantage Sole application" with the terms and conditions in the email.

    I received an email titled "ANZ Access Advantage account application" but no mention of the promotion. I don't know whether the promotion was successfully applied to my application.

    We used the same promotional link and applied on the same computer (and I applied first).

    Did anyone else with an ANZ credit card applied under the offer and received an email with the promotion terms and conditions?

          Sounds logical, I wasn't an ANZ customer at the time. Whether ANZ's systems are logical is another story. :)

          The way I submitted my ID checks is another possibility on why I got referred to a branch. When I was applying, I entered my driver's license when prompted after the Australian resident question. When it came to the final ID check it seemed to indicate my drivers license was already recorded, but as soon I entered it again I got referred. Perhaps if I entered my Medicare or passport details I may not have been referred.

          Good luck with your application.

  • Peck on 22/08/2014 - 10:48

    There seems to be heavy emphasis on 30 September 2014 and payment by 15 October 2014. As the $100 has not yet been paid, then I am guessing that we will get our $100 between 30 September 2014 & 15 October 2014. Fingers crossed.

    • Daniel Plainview on 24/08/2014 - 11:01

      Yup, agree - I think they will pay it as LATE as possible as they'll have foreseen folks signing up just for the $100 and won't want to make it any easier than they need to.

  • SummerMan on 28/08/2014 - 20:13

    Anyone opened an account at a branch?

    1. The staff just explained to me verbally that the 2K has to be done for three months (Aug, Sep and Oct).

    2. The brach did not ask for email address but when I logged on to the internet banking I signed up for online statement and put my email in. There is no email about promotion at all. I wonder if this is alright? Does anyone get a promotion email when you open account at a branch?

    • abc on 28/08/2014 - 21:59

      Could it be any more clearer? Those branch staff obviously don't know what they are talking about.

      To get $100, open an ANZ Access Advantage account by 31 August 2014 and then deposit $2,000 and log on to ANZ goMoney™ or ANZ Internet Banking by 30 September 2014. Offer available to new ANZ everyday bank account customers who have not previously received $100 from ANZ.

      If there was a requirement to deposit $2k in August why would the promotion still be active until end of August.

        2K requirement is for the fee too.

        I told her about my intention to get $100. I think she worked it out the best way for me. I did not take the debit card and she did not asked for unnecessary information.

        My concern is that I've got no evidence/pamplet to hold on to in case $100 does not come and I need to go to FOS.

    I've already openened up this account and deposited $2000 before 31 August. If I take the $2000 out now will I still get the $100?

      i don't think there is anything in the t&cs that says you need to keep the $2000 in your account. you just need to deposit at least $2000. then you can do what you want with it.

        Thanks mattgal

        if you want to avoid the monthly account keeping fees you also need to deposit at least $2000 each month

      the t&cs say "Subject to meeting the eligibility criteria, $100 will be deposited into the new ANZ Access Advantage account by 15 October 2014."

    I just got my $100 today in the Access Cheque Account.

    Time to take the money out of the online saver which only earns 3.8%.

    How do we close ANZ account from overseas?
    Call to a reverse charge number?
