Just wanted to know if anyone has tried to get the "new customer" welcome interest rates (For the first six months, for new customers, on balances up to $1million)after closing an account.
I am interested in the business optimiser, but really for any account.
I though they would "welcome" me back after 6 months, but when I rung I was told that I can never be a new customer again even if I closed my previous account a long time ago. Is it true?
I think they may have lied. I vaguely remember reading on a post on OzBargain some time ago that after 6 months you would qualify for the 5% ING Orange rebate again. That same criteria should apply, but they probably don't want to publicise it.
Yeap, according to an OzB poster at about Nov/Dec 2013 from memory, ING said six months directly to the person over the phone, it will be in past posts. I just past six months myself, so waitin' for my 75 bucks ing…
i'm speculating here, but i think it will be something like 7 years. basically the time they required to keep your financial records for.
There was no waiting period when my first 5% rebate ran out. I had them close my account and I opened a new one and got the 5% rebate again.
o_O I was a new customer in the last month, only 2% for me.
Are there any good offers at the moment?
I might get my mum to signup.
you didnt get 5% becuase the deal wasnt offered at that time.
" I rung I was told that I can never be a new customer again even if I closed my previous account a long time ago."
Unless they've blatantly lied to you, you've got your answer.
