Has anybody got their bonus from Virgin after doing 3m worth of $1000 deposits?
They debited my account twice and stopped on third! Now I can't get my bonus!

it shouldn't, the past two times have gone through w no probs.
My account was debited three times. No bonus yet.
i set up asp all correctly for last 3 rounds. waiting for $100 bonus now.
me too!

did you have sufficient funds? have you contacted them and asked why?
yea, i left the $1000 in my cba since the weekend. [my debit day is 31st]
i m going to give them a call. It's prob too late now :(
Anyway, thanks for all the warm replies ozbargainers! im sure you guys will get the $100 by the end of this month.
This is prob my first time missing out on one of these bank bonuses. [sad face]
For all the heartaches, i don't think i will bother with my newly set up Virgin accounts (for $50 bonus)
if it wasn't your fault then you shouldn't miss out on the bonus. you can always complain to the financial obudsman if virgin won't help with your complaint.

you can only get a bonus once i believe (it usually says for new customers only in the t&cs)
I just checked my account, I have not receieved any $100 yet either, when did they say they will pay??? I am still so angry reading about ubank, furious. AUD 3,029 is still the account balance after they paid me interest on 31st of oct. I have depoisted a total of $3001 ($1 to activate the account) and only recieved $29 in interest, I will likely let them take out another $1000 but I am expecting that money soon, I will also call them and ask if they will continue the higher bonus rate for me otherwise I will tell them I will move to Rabobank and I also will not move my savings from ubank to the vsaver. I am also waiting for the $50 from suncorp……..it has been well over the 6 weeks they said since I deposited $2k into the account.
i'm not sure what you are getting worked up about. the t&cs of the promotion say:
Eligible customers will have their $100 bonus credited into their Virgin Saver account by 30 November 2011
so i'm guessing you won't get your money until 1 dec. you can cancel the asp online. $30 interest sounds about right.

play with that to see how much interest you shoudl have got. 30 $ does sound right..
well, the rough as guts calculation i did was 1000 * 0.065/12 + 2000 * 0.065/12 + 3000 * 0.065/12 = $32.50 and that's assuming you deposited on the 1st calendar day of the month so you get a full month's interest.
I had to read this a couple of times… i didnt realise you were talking about a bank
gigity!I got the $100, it said it was transfered on the 29th but I did not see it until the 30th. Waiting for the interest to be paid and then going to transfer the lot into ubank. I was not going to use ubank anymore, I was going to use the ING savings maximizer who is offering 6.10% for 4 months but is only for new customers otherwise it is 4.75% so I am still stuck with ubank atm.
Not a bad place to be stuck. Regardless of tricky offers from others I still prefer UBank.
Got mine too.
Yep, they paid me.
well another .25% rate drop is coming meaning ubank is going to drop to atleast 5.86% likely they will drop their rate further like last time and being a .4 drop being 5.71
"They debited my account twice and stopped on third! Now I can't get my bonus!"
That's your fault isn't it?
