      You should also take their insurance as they will cover a lot of thing. Put a reminder in your calendar to pay the full amount every month and you don’t have to pay anything. Last time some one stole my card and they gave me $200 credit for loosing the card. :)

    Hmm so you have to spend a minimum of $1000/month to get the 5% back. With not many opportunities to pay with Apple Pay (already have discount egift cards for groceries and fuel, and you can't pay bills with Apple Pay either) I don't think I'll meet the requirements.

    • asubtleviolence on 11/05/2018 - 00:33

      Yeah, sounds like you need to spend $1000/month through Apple Pay to get the deal, which kinda blows it up.

      • djsherly on 11/05/2018 - 07:33
        +1

        T&c says you need to spend $1000, not $1000 through Apple Pay. That’s how I read it. Otherwise “up to $50” doesn’t make any sense. It would always be $50 if you spend $1000 through Apple Pay in a given month.

        • grasstown on 11/05/2018 - 07:48
          +1

          ?

          Offer says need to spend through Apple Pay. 5% of $1000 is $50. "Up to" is if you spend less than $1000

        • BargainShopaholic on 11/05/2018 - 09:23
          +2

          Exactly… why put “up to $50” and “minimum $1000” in the same sentence? They kinda contradict each other since 5% of $1000 is $50, which means “up to” is unnecessary.

          I’m confused…

        • grasstown on 12/05/2018 - 12:38

          @yumdumpring: I see now, "up to $50" and "minimum $1000" should not be in same sentence. I'd say it's badly worded but just means that spends lower than $1000 qualify for 5%

          @grasstown: I asked them you don't need to spend $1000 to get 5%, but to get $50 you need to spend a mininum of $1000.
          If you only spend $100 with apple pay you will still get $5

        How is this confusing? Apart from leaving off Face ID which probably didn't exist when initially they wrote it the description above is accurate.

        While most people are only aware of the last paragraph (paying in a store) the first 2 paragraphs are still correct just used less often. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201239

      • sween64 on 11/05/2018 - 11:24

      I suspect what their trying to get at is you need to spend $1000 per month to get the maximum benefit of $50 (5% of $1000) which you can get in each of the 3 months the promotion is open for (max $150 back).

      I think you'll be right spending less than $1000 you'll just receive a pro-rata 5% refund not the full $50.

      Someone should ask google to call them and clarify :P

    • boomramada on 11/05/2018 - 11:08

      Pretty much you need to spend more than $100O up to $3000 for maximum benefit. Not that confusing.
      Since minimum credit is $50 upto $150.

    yes if someone calls let us know if its targeted or anyone with the card qualifies and if there is a minimum spend required to get the cash back>?

      What sort of fee?

    I was shocked the other day to find their credit card fraud line is not staffed 24/7. WTF?

    Add this to the limited ability to pay your card fee free (direct debit and over the phone are free, not bpay, and the online service center blocks you from paying pending transactions, and blocks you from making more than one payment every 5 days)

    Add this to the need to pay your card prior to your statement to avoid the 0.5% insurance (if you choose to take it out)

    Add this to the non fee-free cash withdrawals overseas

    = 28 degress has lost all the compelling reasons to have one.

      I don't think that rep is right. Or perhaps rep thought you were referring to $50 as "the offer". My own inclination is that pro rata <1000 will get 5% back

    • KaraZorEl on 23/05/2018 - 18:43
      1. Should the entire $1000 spend be via Mobile wallet? My monthly bill does come over $1000 as I've my insurances and a few utility bills direct debited from this card.

      I've written to them asking this.

      • grasstown on 23/05/2018 - 19:56

          Very deceptive. Called and spoke to 28degree rep. He was so confused. Said I have to spend $1000 to activate the offer, and then spend more money to get 5% cashback of what I spend after $1000

          Not being satisfied with his response. I spoke to his manager.

          She told me that I need to spend minimum $1000 to receive any cashback. She admitted that her team was confused by the wording of the email and ruled it so 28 degrees will not be offering any cashback if you spend less than $1000

          Better off continue using your AMEX or other rewards card if you aren’t going to spend more than $1000 in a month. Alternatively you can use Prezzee app to buy woolies/Coles giftcards at 5% off using Apple Pay (I assume there’s an option for android pay but have not tested it myself)

      I'm not sure what is going on in the OP right now. It seems to have merged the new offer into the first offer. The first offer is:

      Your favourite shopping buddy just got even better. Now you'll get 5% back* when you shop using your 28 Degrees Mastercard and Apple Pay. That's up to $50 cashback a month until July 31st on top of the no annual fees, online purchase and foreign transaction fees, you already enjoy!

Eligible transactions do not include cash advances, credit fees or charges, credits, refunds, reimbursements or balance transfers into your account, or extended interest free or other promotional purchases. Offer is valid from receipt of email to offer end date. To qualify, you must fulfil on the terms of the offer. Up to $50 will be credited to your account when you spend a minimum of $1,000 in a calendar month, to a maximum of $150 credited during the promotional period. The cash back amount will be credited to your account within 30 days of the offer end date of 31 July 2018. The account must be open and not in default of the credit contract when the credit is applied.

      To me there is nothing in the whole text that indicates that you have to spend a minimum $1000. Nothing indicates that you won't earn 5% for less than $1000.

      The words "Up to $50 will be credited to your account when you spend a minimum of $1,000 in a calendar month" work with this interpretation. As $50 is "up to $50" and you will earn $50 when you spend a minimum of $1000.

      That term is not inconsistent with the other terms of the offer. It does not impose a minimum spend on the offer conditions.

  • illumination on 25/05/2018 - 17:35

    As some others above have pointed out, I've also been left a little confused by the wording.

    The fine print implies that a minimum of $1k+ must be spent in that calendar month to qualify for the maximum $50 cashback (which is 5% of $1000, so anything above that you spend will not qualify). My question is whether the $1k+ must ALL be via mobile wallet payment. The answer I've been given (over the phone) is that you must spend $1k+ via mobile wallets. So you can't, for example, have $950 in transactions from mobile payments and then have a $100 online transaction separately (total $1050) to qualify for this spend. She says $1000+ must be spent via mobile wallets.

    I don't quite trust what she says though. The wording certainly does not suggest that this is the case..

    Anyone else with further updates/information? It does make quite a difference.

      Yeah it struck me as tough to spend >$1k on a mobile wallet unless you have a largish family and are doing big weekly shops.. but I suspect that's what they're banking on - increasing card usage but having people fall short.

        I managed to put a few postbillpay eligible bills (council rates) together to hit the $1k for May

          you don't need to hit the $1k mark, it's a poor wording but you get up to $50 for a minimum spend of $1000 but you ll get %5 even you spend only $10 with apple pay

          how did you get postbillpay to accept apple Pay? Their in store terminals don't even accept it. Once you tap it says "insert card" :S

          @abc: I used Samsung Pay in store as Australia Post for postbillpay. Since it was $1000, I had to tap then enter PIN.

          @bdl:

          I wonder if that still counts towards the promo?

  • 5k on 04/06/2018 - 12:24

    Anyone got credit come through? I spent less than $1000 and did not see any credit :(

    • grasstown on 04/06/2018 - 12:48

      The cash back amount will be credited to your account within 30 days of the offer end date of 31 July 2018

      My interpretation is that less than 1000 will qualify. Others have a different view

      • 5k on 04/06/2018 - 16:03

        Oh! Thank you for the clarification :)

    I got my first $50 credited to my account yesterday. I thought I would have to wait until after July but appears not. I did happen to spend $1000 on Apple Pay.

      Yep and I got less than 50 as I spent less than 1000. Also yesterday

        I spent less than $1000. On the account the description is listed as SPECIAL PROMO CREDIT.

        • illumination on 11/06/2018 - 19:33

          My spend with Android Pay (or Google Pay, as it's now supposed to be known) of $997.95 was on 26 May. Still no credit as of today.

        • grasstown on 11/06/2018 - 19:37

          @illumination: mine was the Apple Pay that didn't need activation/registration. I just added my card to wallet and started tapping with phone. The other promo has different terms I think

        • Gooddeal21 on 12/06/2018 - 07:56

          @grasstown: yes I think they had 2 at the same time where the first one didn't have a minimum spend but was maxed at $50 (for a minimum spend at $1000) I was on the first one and just got $25 back

        I just got $12.34 SPECIAL PROMO CREDIT. Didn't track my usage, but clearly less than $1000 that was supposedly required. Good to get free money!
