Open NEW Suncorp Bank Account with a linked Visa Debit card between 1st Dec 2018 and 31st Jan 2019.
Took me about a minute to open account with online verification.

Use Apple pay on 5 separate transactions by 31st March 2019 with the linked Visa debit card, to get a $50 cashback.

T&Cs: https://www.suncorp.com.au/banking/help-support/ways-to-bank…

Note
- Does not say new customers, just new bank account. List of eligible bank accounts below
- No code to enter just click through and satisfy the conditions (I guess!)
- Update - After about 10 minutes from Bank account opening, I was able to register for Suncorp App (Benefits - for egiftcard deals). Also as per this comment https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/422878#comment-6691569, using the browser on computer I can add the Woolworths $500 egiftcard and get to checkout/payment page.

Eligible Transaction Account includes the following Suncorp Bank accounts:
Everyday Options Account
Everyday Basics Account
Everyday Essentials Account
55 Plus Account
Cash Management Account
Wealth Cash Management Account
Freedom Access Account
Access Equity Account
Business Everyday Account
Business Premium Account

The "Everyday Basics/Options" transaction accounts are probably the most common types to open, Basic is $0/month fees, stand alone everyday transaction account. Everyday Options is currently also $0/month if you open before 28/2/2019. You can add interest-earning sub accounts to this Account.

      My bad, stated in T&C

      1. Limit of one (1) Gift per Eligible Customer, regardless of how many times they make a Qualifying Purchase.

    Received my debit card in the mail today. The clowns cut off the last two letters of my surname. And my surname is only 6 letters, not as if they ran out of space. I obviously entered it correctly otherwise how did they verify my identity online? If they can't even get that right then I wonder what else they're doing wrong to customers??

      yes was on hold for over 5 mins then seen other methods clicked on that and choose sms hang up. did my 5x 1 cent coles apple pay now 2 days later i get a sms saying to call suncorp to activate apple pay again. if i just ignore it as ive already done my 5 purchases will i still get my $50 or do you still need to be active and still have the card loaded to apple pay at time of $50 payment?

      • Xishnik on 14/12/2018 - 14:51

        I made my 5 payments and then removed card from Apple Pay.

  • FiDad on 20/12/2018 - 20:02

    So these guys send me the visa debit card but it did not require activation as it was already activated. Isn't this a security risk, what if it got lost in the mail and I already had money in it which someone could use via paywave? They do take security a bi lightly what with 8 characters no special character password and pre-activated cards

    Getting error message:

  • Fever4shakin on 26/12/2018 - 11:12

    Can anyone confirm what apple pay shows up as on your transaction history. I only have an iPad to use apple pay, and i'm not sure if my app store purchases count because after I added my card to apple pay it asked me to add a card to the app store. It's coming up as APPLE PTY LIMITED SYDNEY AUP.

    • forumninja on 26/12/2018 - 11:21
      +1

      Transactions conducted via Apple Pay will show up as the merchant. In the case of your App Store purchases, it is not processed through Apple Pay so will not count towards the 5 transaction requirement of this offer.

      • Fever4shakin on 26/12/2018 - 19:20

        Thanks for clarifying! It was an in-app purchase and I just assumed it would work like android using google pay.

        • tonyduffe on 26/12/2018 - 21:28

          Yeah while the Apple Pay and the App Store purchasing process now look very similar unfortunately Apple does not use Apple Pay on the iTunes Music Store or for Apple Music Subscription the App Store the Mac App Store or iCloud. However they do use it for purchasing hard products in their app and on the web.

    • Hardicus on 26/12/2018 - 16:01

      I only have an iPad and based on some advice above I made 5x donations to charity using the Shout for Good app using Apple pay.

      No $50 yet but I assume it'll take a while.

      • Fever4shakin on 26/12/2018 - 19:21

        Thanks! might do that instead :)

        • tonyduffe on 26/12/2018 - 21:23

          That would be my post from earlier here and is a reasonable option if you've got no other choice or need to use any of the other apps. Otherwise you could switch the $50 out for gift cards or maybe get some food delivered.

  • JHoliday on 28/12/2018 - 00:58

    Anyone tried to transfer money from this bank account to another bank? What a nightmare!!!

    It wants an ETP which is apparently a secure password that they mail to you after 3-5 days, or you have to pay $20 for a security token? Just to make a simple bank transfer!?!!? Surely a joke…

    • samehada on 28/12/2018 - 16:20

      there is an app you can download and it is free.

      • JHoliday on 29/12/2018 - 22:20

        Thanks for that, much easier!

        Crazy that they would have this restriction in place from a web browser but not on the app.

    • Daabido on 30/12/2018 - 10:04

      They are removing the ETP from 16 January.

  • JHoliday on 29/12/2018 - 22:20

    • bighorse on 30/12/2018 - 12:36

      I haven't yet but I only did my 5 transactions a few days ago. Can take up to 45 days to get the $50

      "The credit under this Offer will be applied within 45 days of the Eligible Customer satisfying the Qualifying Purchases."

  • kehuehue on 31/12/2018 - 12:33

    So I’ve made 5 transactions, when should I expect the 50$ in my account?

    • tonyduffe on 31/12/2018 - 12:39

      Literally answered in the comment directly above yours. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/6788483/redir

      Suncorp Apple Pay™ "$50 Cash Back" Offer Terms and Conditions

      7.Eligible Customers who make the Qualifying Purchases will receive a gift of $50 AUD credited via a Visa TC20 transaction directly to the Eligible Customer’s Visa Debit Card that is provisioned in the Apple Pay app ("Gift"). The credit under this Offer will be applied within 45 days of the Eligible Customer satisfying the Qualifying Purchases.

      So essentially once all your transactions have gone off pending and have cleared the money should be paid within 45 days from the last eligible transaction clearing.

        Did you open the Suncorp account online or through the phone? I receive an error when I try online. Have tried many times.

        • min2 on 12/01/2019 - 09:34

          Online. And it went ok if you could be verified online. Otherwise you would be required to provide ID at the branch for the account to be opened, which according to Tony may still be eligible for the bonus if you satisfy other TnC.

  • Gelato on 06/01/2019 - 10:46

    Ridiculous….i still havent received my card. I applied at the beginning on Dec
    I called to follow up last week and they said the card was just being made and would be mailed to me this week…

    Hi can anyone recommend a qualifying Suncorp account for kids under 18 years of age?

    • tonyduffe on 08/01/2019 - 00:04
      +1

      How old? I'm guessing you want to take advantage of the $50 offer?

      If so the person would need to be 16 or older as that's how old you need to be to be eligible for a debit card to work with Apple Pay and live near a branch as you can only open accounts online if 18 or older and it sounds like you need a parent or guardian if below 18.

      The three transactional accounts that under 18's could open are.

      Everyday Basics Account (Account with no monthly account fees and is the account the bank recommends on the kids banking page)
      Everyday Options Account (Normally has a monthly account keeping fee but there is an ongoing waiver at time of post.)
      Everyday Essentials Account (If the person meets the other criteria)

      Account comparison page can be found here one should also consider all the fees listed in the terms and conditions. If you're looking for this to be a full-time account I would suggest looking for another bank. If it's just to redeem the current offer pick the account with the least impact.

      • min2 on 08/01/2019 - 12:07

        Thanks so much Tony. It is dual purpose for my 17 year old to go to Uni with the $50 bonus from Suncorp :-) however since it cannot be opened online I do not think she is qualified to earn the $50. Am I reading it right? I may need to look elsewhere for a high interest transaction account that encourages kids to save. Cheers Tony!

        • tonyduffe on 08/01/2019 - 15:08

          Thanks so much Tony. It is dual purpose for my 17 year old to go to Uni with the $50 bonus from Suncorp :-)

          Personally I wouldn't want to push this bank on anyone for daily use in my opinion there is much better options out there.

          however since it cannot be opened online I do not think she is qualified to earn the $50. Am I reading it right?

          As far as I'm aware it's not restricted to customers that open accounts online, I'm sure you can try to open account and then be pushed off to the branch for manual verification by starting the application process online.

          But there's nothing in the offer terms that I could see that restricts it to bank accounts opened online.

          I may need to look elsewhere for a high interest transaction account that encourages kids to save. Cheers Tony!

          In my opinion introduce your kid to the utility model and not have any loyalty for any one bank. Best bank best banking product for whatever situation you're looking for. Given what you have mentioned you will be looking for a decent transaction account with one bank and a good savings account/strategy with another.

          To help with transactional accounts I think the poll conducted every year on OzBargain would be helpful https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/354615
          For savings accounts the spreadsheet and discussion on whirlpool would be where I would be taking a look https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2558805&…

            @tonyduffe: Thank you Tony for taking the time to explain it so thoroughly. Much appreciated. I think the Orange Everyday is a good one for transaction and interest for my 17 y.o. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again!👍

  • donotuse on 13/01/2019 - 18:57

    Is there a minimum $ spend for each qualifying apple pay transaction?

    • tonyduffe on 13/01/2019 - 20:44

      No, one cent is more than sufficient.

        • tonyduffe on 14/01/2019 - 01:02

          Based on the terms and conditions I would not think they had received the $50 as of yet.

          The terms and conditions that govern this offer do not have any restrictions on one cent transactions and they would be considered eligible payments if they were made with Apple Pay, The terms for this offer also state they have up to 45 days from the last eligible payment to give you your $50. See my reply here

  • georgegates5 on 19/01/2019 - 07:50

    Is the transaction showing up as "VISA PURCHASE" when paid with Apple Pay? Or does it shows up as Apple Pay in the transaction description ?

    • forumninja on 19/01/2019 - 09:56

      It only shows as VISA PURCHASE. There is no way of knowing whether it is Apple Pay from your account Transaction Details.

    Hi guys,

    My card has come in mail and I have set up apple pay.

    How exactly can I do the split payment at woolies or coles for the 5 cents.

    Sorry if its a stupid question!

    Thank you

    • scar4ace on 25/01/2019 - 11:32

      use the self checkout terminals, and then in the payment screen there will be a payment option (At Woolies usually the last payment option) with multiple payment types (Card, Voucher, Giftcard etc)

      Tap that and it will let you enter an amount (use $0.01) and payment type (select Card) and then Apple pay tap. Rinse and repeat.

  • PMG on 26/01/2019 - 16:11

    So just to confirm:

    -There is no 'minimum spend amount' for each qualifying purchase via Apple Pay?.
    -Is there a minimum time the Suncorp account has to remain open for after the cashback payment has been made?.

    Also curious to know if anyone has been paid their $50 cashback yet?. Any Android users on here borrowed an I-Phone for this?.

    • tonyduffe on 26/01/2019 - 16:16

      There is no 'minimum spend amount' for each qualifying purchase via Apple Pay?.

      According to the terms and conditions of the offer no minimums. A one cent transaction at the self checkout is sufficient.

      Is there a minimum time the Suncorp account has to remain open for after the cashback payment has been made?.

      No

      Also curious to know if anyone has been paid their $50 cashback yet?

    Applied this card in first week of Dec, and have been following up with suncorp every 2 weeks and still not got my card.
    Response was "your card was scheduled to be printed", "you card is due for delivery"
    called up again today and escalated to a higher level in suncorp then i was advised they havent got enough ID checks on my accounts and my account got closed by their system automatically after 2 months.
    now that we are in Feb there's no point to open this account again.

    Also no point to ever bank with suncorp again.
