Declaration: I work for CBA.
I just received an email stating that:
"Between Monday 27 February and Saturday 7 April 2012, we are offering new and existing customers a $100 reward of their choice if they are approved for a new Credit Card and spend within 30 days of approval.
Customers can choose one of these rewards:
•$100 cash back on their Credit Card account
•$100 Coles Group & Myer Gift Card
•Commbank Kaching iCarte and $50 cash back on their Credit Card account
I believe this offer is only available through the Start website (Use link provided)
Please leave the bank bashing out of this, if you dont have anything positive to say, just close the tab.
Thanks
Well they asked me to upload my centerlink payment letter, so it looks good. My credit limit is $1,200.
What is weird is they declined me last time, and I listed all my assets and did have a bank balance of about 5k and more in shares. This time I did not put anything in, I just said I was a student getting centerlink and my lodging costs were $100 per week.
I think if you have money, you will be declined, the less you have the more likely you will be approved. Funny world.
