      If it's 3G I don't see why not.

  • nubzy on 15/08/2011 - 18:03

    does it have to be your name or could you make a fake facebook name and use that. i do not want to use facebook…

    • A Banana4scale on 20/08/2011 - 21:39

      name not dependent. I used my friends phone and he used mine so doesn't matter.

    Can you avoid the $4 monthly fee by depositing $2000 then withdrawing it immediately?

    • Lukian on 15/08/2011 - 18:30

      Yes. It's likely just a check of your deposits per month > 2000.

    • Shwayne on 15/08/2011 - 19:13

      You can negate every second month like that, it will check the balance at the month against the previous check to see if it has gone up by $2000.

    • kingsville on 16/08/2011 - 12:59

      yes

    Remember that all new releases are typically NFT (No Free Tickets) at most cinemas.

    • nubzy on 15/08/2011 - 20:46

      yes but they are not really free tickets. they probably give out the same ones you can buy in books of 10 for $100 or whatever.

  • dkslim on 15/08/2011 - 20:38

    Just tried to check in tonight for testing, but nothing happens when I do it. There is no "Check in to claim" button. Is there something wrong with my phone? Or will the button only show up during branch hours?

    • MrLeE on 15/08/2011 - 21:27

      I doubt they could do that. To make it check in during work hours that is.

      • dkslim on 15/08/2011 - 21:40

        Found out the problem, my phone OS isn't supported by Facebook Deals.

  • kimmik on 15/08/2011 - 22:35

    Its free account fee for 12months for the facebook deal, according to the branch where i applied at. not just for students.

    Also, there is no need to cancel existing accounts. Just add the debit mastercard account, and put a few bucks in it so you can purchase a candybar each month to satisfy the offer conditions.

    • POWERevolution on 15/08/2011 - 23:32

      Just add the debit mastercard account

      What if you already have one?
      Can you add another?

      • kimmik on 15/08/2011 - 23:37

        do you mean to say you have a streamline acct as well as debit mastercard?

        if you have the latter, add the former? should work

      • skytree on 16/08/2011 - 09:18

        If you have complete access, then open a smart access..

  • warwick108 on 16/08/2011 - 13:29

    how would we know if we are one of the first 2200 people?
    i signed up to a new account an hour ago, didnt recieve anything from the teller
    =S

    • supercheap1 on 16/08/2011 - 14:26

      The "Check in" page on Facebook will have a number and the time when your "Check in" offer expires (normally 3 hours after you "Check in" or COB on that day). I was about #100 yesterday and about #250 today. I think they will keep count until they reach #2200.

      • kimmik on 16/08/2011 - 14:33

        aww, someone will miss this deal because you signed up twice =P

  • KangarooOz on 16/08/2011 - 15:30

    I just showed the deal on my iPad to the bank staff 30min ago. I am the 362th person who accepted the deal and the account is open in 15min.

    If you credit your salary into the account, it waives the monthly fee.

  • zzzsianzzz on 16/08/2011 - 17:02

    i tried with an android smart phone during lunch.. doesn't work.. i can't really check in.. luckily i have another phone with me which is an iphone.. works with the deal on the iphone and prompts the deal after clicking on it with the number beside the time.. just a heads up for those who might be using android..

    • skytree on 16/08/2011 - 17:32

      Android does work, I used it. Key point is you must find the right "Place" to check in, the FB place might turn out to find multiple CBA related spots nearby but there is only one correctly representing the branch.

      • zzzsianzzz on 16/08/2011 - 21:18

        i was standing near the entrance of the branch..

        i do have the FB check-in places and the options to select one location from a number of locations around that area on my iphone.. on the iphone, u will see a yellow 'box' like icon beside the commonwealth bank through facebook app though..

        but don't have that option on my galaxy S though.. even though I've switched on my GPS to locate my location and tried it on m.facebook.com and the facebook app.. keeps hanging.. was fiddling with it.. i tried it on my android before using iphone.. shrugs =S

        gave up and use my iphone…

        maybe listing down the phones tried might be useful.. as their website only says "compatible phone".. some of our mates here have failed attempts too though… depends on the phone GPS approx. location area and hardware too i guess…

    Been waiting for an offer to sign up with CBA after missing out on the earlier $100 deal, so thanks! I'm one of those people who never sign up with a bank without an incentive, hehe.

    Went around 2pm, took about an hour as the lady tried upselling me everything including credit cards, term deposits and loans…

    Also got a bag in the end that included a foam car and a money box, which was pretty awesome :)

    • Aceman98 on 16/08/2011 - 23:02

      the $100 deal is still on isnt it??

      • parcus on 16/08/2011 - 23:36

        Yeah, that's for a credit card though, which I don't need right now.

    • Windows7forever on 17/08/2011 - 07:07

      Well done & screw the banks ;)

  • bashar20 on 17/08/2011 - 11:42

    I opened mine 1 hour ago. I was #452.
    However am annoyed that I have to pay $4 per month where my friend was given the same account for $0 per month. I have been told that this is what the system is showing.

    • dkslim on 17/08/2011 - 11:51

      How did your friend get it?

      • bashar20 on 17/08/2011 - 13:14

        Just normal in branch and the facebook option was $0 fees. while for me it was $0 in the begining and became $4 at the end.

          Same thing happened for me as well, but the lady who opened my account wrote down that she advised me it was for the facebook offer and there was no fees (for the first year at least), and signed off on it.

        • bashar20 on 17/08/2011 - 14:35

          Lucky you. The lady who served me changed her mind and said there was fees and that I must deposit $2000. so thought Ok I will sort that out Later.

  • thezman on 17/08/2011 - 12:36

    I just went and did this. Took me about 20 minutes, all up. So far, so good - it seems like an incredible deal!

    My guy at the bank was amazed when he found out about the deal, and disappointed when he found out that he was ineligible! If I get the vouchers in the end, then it will definitely be worth all the effort.

  • SmiTTy on 17/08/2011 - 13:55

    Signed up using Galaxy S2 - was 509 (i think) .. so plenty offers to go still.
    Was standing outside CBA trying to check-in .. and "Westpac Bank" came up on the list before CBA !

    Took about 5 mins to open the account - too easy.

  • congo on 18/08/2011 - 13:32

    They said the account monthly is $6 per month.

  • vl3tbol on 18/08/2011 - 18:04

    i recently closed my account with CBA like 2 months ago can i still do it?

    • A Banana4scale on 18/08/2011 - 22:07

      Signed up today at around 10.15AM. Was #614, wanted me to make a netSaver but I just told them I needed another MasterCard for just online purchases. No monthly fees( student). Woohoo this is about $20 every month which would have gone into Greater Union's pocket! Total saving is at least $240 a year depending on pricing in your local store

      And anyone can get it made, new or existing customer. Only commbank staff are illegible.

  • Saturday on 19/08/2011 - 10:02

    I just couldn't get the 'Check in to claim' button on my HTC Legend phone with Android OS. Anyone done it on an android could give some hints,e.g. version of the Places etc.? And do you also need GPS or 3G will do?

    • ahilen on 19/08/2011 - 14:31

      I have the same problem. Using SGS II and Facebook for Android, when I go to places there's no check in deal icon like there is in iPhone

        Hey it works now! I think it had something to do with my location settings being hidden.
        Got my new CBA account within 20 minutes - Bring on the popcorn! =D

      • Saturday on 21/08/2011 - 13:54

        Thanks for the detailed info. I will give it another go on Monday :-)

  • cooldog on 20/08/2011 - 21:32

    how do they send the ticket? post it? email?

    • ahilen on 21/08/2011 - 14:48

      you get some kind of gift card which is loaded with the movie tickets. every month you get a double pass given you perform a transaction every month and comply with their conditions. If I remember correctly, you don't get the first set of double passes until after 2 months.

      It will be sent via post. You should consult with the branch when you sign up.

  • POWERevolution on 23/08/2011 - 17:14

    The deal is done!

  • NeBlackCat on 23/08/2011 - 18:06

    Does anyone know the exact time the offer expired?

    What was the last time anyone successfully got it?

  • dkslim on 24/08/2011 - 20:46

    You had plenty of time to get this, thought it would be all gone during the 2nd day but it went on for over a week.

  • supercheap1 on 14/09/2011 - 22:56

    "Those who have qualified for the Free Movies for a Year offer will be sent their offer details by post within 2 months of account origination. Upon receipt of the offer details, (which includes a uniquely coded Movie Pass card to use online to claim) customers will have until 31.12.2011 to first activate their offer online."

    I opened my account a month ago and have purchased items with my new Commonwealth Bank Debit Mastercard, but have not received a "uniquely coded Movie Pass card" by post.

    Has anyone received theirs yet?

    • cave on 15/09/2011 - 15:36

      have not received mine too

      • SmiTTy on 15/09/2011 - 16:32

        I received a letter saying I was eligible, but all i need to do is make a purchase. I received the letter a couple weeks ago.

        It said i'll receive another letter to tell me if i've qualified (i.e. made a purchase) . waiting for that.

        • cave on 16/09/2011 - 16:02

          yeap, I got that one too.. But no follow-up till now

        • cloud226 on 19/09/2011 - 16:16
