    Easy free money.

    You don't need to send money to someone else overseas,

    you can easily transfer AUD->GBP to your own wise (transferwise) account and then GBP->AUD back to your own aussie bank account.

    • Tinqer on 29/04/2021 - 11:13

      So I take it I can't just transfer from Instarem straight to my AU bank account? There needs to be a currency conversion?

      • devilbabies on 29/04/2021 - 11:17
        +1

        Yes, I think so.

        I got a similar bonus last year and an "overseas" transfer was required.

        You will easily see whether the bonus is working or not before you pay:
        1. Create transfer of $200 to overseas account (your own Wise account or similar is ok)
        2. Instarem will say that overseas account will receive ~110.50 GBP.
        3. Instarem will ask you to pay, but only $150 because $50 has been deducted.
        4. Receive ~110.50 GBP for $150.

        • szy2k on 29/04/2021 - 14:32

          great, thanks for the info!

        • Koipanda on 29/04/2021 - 14:42

          Do you have to transfer GBP?

          • devilbabies on 29/04/2021 - 16:15

            @Koipanda: no. doesn't need to be GBP

            • gadgetguy on 29/04/2021 - 19:50

              @devilbabies: Looking at Wise it looks like there are fees to transfer out, right?

              • devilbabies on 29/04/2021 - 20:16
                +1

                @gadgetguy: Yes. 0.65 GBP (I believe) + whatever you lose on the exchange rate.

                $200 ($150 after discount) from Instarem to Wise will currently get you 110.39 GBP after fees and currency exchange
                110.39 GBP from Wise to an Australian bank account will currently get you $196.58 after fees and currency exchange

                Total gain $46.58. $3.42 lost in fees and currency exchange from both Instarem and Wise. (you could also lose or gain depending on currency fluctuations between the transfers)

                blake21 below says you can also pay directly into an Aussie bank account that accepts foreign currencies. This would be simpler and possibly cheaper (depending on what your bank charges for the currency exchange)

                • gadgetguy on 29/04/2021 - 22:07

                  @devilbabies: When I looked, it mentioned 3.95 GBP I think to transfer GBP to a non UK bank. Which I assume would apply here.

                  It also said this was in addition to "Wise fees" which look like another 3.69 GBP.

                  https://wise.com/help/articles/2977936/sending-gbp-to-countr…

                  If correct that's about $14 plus currency losses.

                • Koipanda on 30/04/2021 - 13:53

                  @devilbabies: Whatever you do, check of your Aussie bank charge fees for receiving international payments.

                  HSBC charged me $10AUD on the everyday global account

                  • happydragon on 30/04/2021 - 13:58

                    @Koipanda: The same happened to me! plus they have a terrible exchange rate!

                  • Indomie5 on 03/05/2021 - 18:01

                    @Koipanda: I didn't get charged for deposit into HSBC Global Account

                    • Koipanda on 04/05/2021 - 00:32

                      @Indomie5: How did you deposit it?

                      Did you have to put the bank SWIFT number?

                      • Indomie5 on 04/05/2021 - 01:01

                        @Koipanda: I transferred to myself, just googled HSBC Australia swift code

        • bk1973 on 29/04/2021 - 22:35

          Am having troubling doing this. I opened a 'Wise' account. Am all verified but can't receive in USD yet it seems, but can in EUR, GBP.

          When I transfer with Instarem to myself, do I choose Australia as the country or the country for the Wise receiving account? If I choose United Kingdom, it asks for a SORT code and account #. However, on Wise's site, it says to only use this for receiving GBP from banks INSIDE of the UK. I'm not in the UK, but perhaps Instarem transfers within the UK.

          Has anyone done this? Do you use the SORT code and account number and receive from "Inside the UK" ?

          • devilbabies on 29/04/2021 - 23:55

            @bk1973: Yes, I used sort code and account number. Recipient Receiving Country will be United Kingdom. Recipient’s Residential Address will be in Australia.

          • hanofee on 30/04/2021 - 11:59

            @bk1973: Use "Inside the UK" is fine. Easier to use that Sort/Acc number for UK transfer.
            It's easier to do GBP account too, which is there by default when we open (and generally faster for anything we deal with them, as Wise is UK based). I remembered I need to do a transfer first back then, before they gave me the USD and other currency account.

        • bk1973 on 30/04/2021 - 12:59

          @devilabies and @hanofee , thanks for your help. I've gotten it to work. Both services seem pretty good.

  • Ash-Say on 29/04/2021 - 10:52

    Op, is 310GETSTARTED your referral code?

  • tajid on 29/04/2021 - 11:01

    I got $50 deducted instead of $50 gift card (i.e. only paid $150 to send $200).

    • mt2000 on 29/04/2021 - 11:08

      using the above code?

      EDIT: Hmm sound like I need to send money first then I will get the bonus?

      • tajid on 29/04/2021 - 11:16

        Yea using the above code.

        • Ash-Say on 29/04/2021 - 11:18

          where are you putting the code?

          • tajid on 29/04/2021 - 11:21

            @Ash-Say: At the last step, before submitting the transaction.

    • devilbabies on 29/04/2021 - 11:22

      it looks like the referrer gets a $50 giftcard and the referee gets $50 deducted off the cost of the transfer.

      "Introduce us to your friends and you’ll get a $50 e-gift card on top of our regular referral reward of 400 Instapoints.
      Your friends will also enjoy a $50 bonus on top of the 475 Instapoints referral reward."

    • ozvince on 29/04/2021 - 18:29

      Same here
      PAYMENT DETAILS
      Amount Sent: 150 AUD
      Amount Paid: 200 AUD

      Would I still get a $50 gift card?

      • tajid on 29/04/2021 - 19:51
        +1

        Gift card is for referrer.
        Referee gets $50 reduction in transfer amount.

  • firestint on 29/04/2021 - 11:50

    I am not sure if the steps are clear enough.

    1. To be clear you can still sign up using your friend's referral code or otherwise use the random generator to get a code to sign up.
    2. Once signed up and when making the first transaction, enter 310GETSTARTED so your friend gets AUD50 gift card and you have AUD50 deducted off your first transaction.
  • coolsteps on 29/04/2021 - 12:17

    thanks op signed up using a random Oz bargain refferral code and added 310GETSTARTED coupon to send funds to my overseas account via payid. got $50 off and paid a $1.99 fee. with fees the rate was only about 1 pound difference from the stated rate on www.x-rates.com . it was instant funds arrived within 1 minute before i even entered my payment reference number. i wasnt sure what to enter in that field. is that the same as the transaction number instarem give you? now i have Instapoints Balance
    777 . what can i use them for and do they ever expire?

    • ozvince on 29/04/2021 - 18:30

      Don't know why I've been charged $3.89 fee

      • coolsteps on 30/04/2021 - 13:04

        probably depends on currency you choose.

    • gadgetguy on 29/04/2021 - 19:46

      Can you advise what overseas account you used that accepts payment via PayID?

      • coolsteps on 09/05/2021 - 11:08

  • blake21 on 29/04/2021 - 17:45

    I can confirm that you can send to Australian banks with this deal, just has to be in USD.

    If your bank doesn't charge fees for receiving funds in another currency it makes it a lot easier then using another service.

    • hanofee on 30/04/2021 - 11:21

      Safer to transfer to your own TransferWise (now Wise) borderless account and back. U'd probably lose about $1 at most due to conversion/fee.

  • Dacs on 29/04/2021 - 17:58

    Be careful not to miss the place to enter the coupon code. It's on the bottom right of page that has the "Authorise Transfer" button. You need to click the link "Click to apply Instapoints/coupon", then change change the radio buttons from "Instapoints" to "Coupon".

    The coupon code only works on the first payment. If you do go to the following page by mistake without entering the coupon code, you must go to your History page, cancel that payment, then create a new payment.

    Hopefully this helps someone else. Don't try sending it straight to your own Aussie bank account. I sent $200 (paid $150, plus $50 coupon), and only received $140.

    Contacted InstaRem, and apparently:
    "USD payment to non US country attract additional fees.
    These charges are charged by the intermediate banks involved in processing amount to the beneficiary bank.
    InstaRem is not responsible for sending it via different banks and nor do we charge the client."

    About 140 USD magically became about 110 USD somewhere in the process that's invisible to me.

    I see now the warning about this happening on the transaction page. Oh well. Enjoy my money, banks.

    • Indomie5 on 03/05/2021 - 16:57

      • Newgod on 05/05/2021 - 18:47

    • Dacs on 30/04/2021 - 21:46

      Just deposit it to my account

    • hanofee on 30/04/2021 - 21:47

      • knobbs on 30/04/2021 - 21:49

        I only had AUD and USD by default. I tried adding GBP as this is what most others seem to be doing. To get the details for any account even the AUD one it wants me to make a self deposit. I have verified my ID and email, not sure what else I could do.

        • hanofee on 30/04/2021 - 22:00

          Then use USD for this purpose. Or does it ask for deposit too? Not much difference. Ppl suggested GBP, cause that’s usually the default. Can’t use AUD for this, need “overseas” transfer

          • knobbs on 30/04/2021 - 22:16

            @hanofee: All account details are hidden until I make a deposit, so nope

      • Dacs on 30/04/2021 - 21:52

        @hanofee Don't know if it's new. I chose a EUR balance in Wise and had to add 20EUR (funded using AUD) before it would show the IBAN number and other details. Didn't mind though as I wanted to have a EUR account anyway

    • bk1973 on 01/05/2021 - 12:29

      I had similar. I think it wanted a minimum of $30 or something. I put that in. It's easy to withdraw if need be.

    For someone completely new to this, I definitely recommend using a Wise account, and sending money from InstaRem to the Wise account using GBP.
    I ended up with $196.50AUD ish for $150AUD. Not bad for an hour or so work.

      I made my first $150 USD transfer from Instarem to my Citibank account on 07/05 and the funds still have not arrived, I was told to provide details and purpose of the transfer by their partner bank ( according to Instarem) and still nothing happened, I can't imaging it was this hard for the bank to verify such a simple FX transaction.
