    Is this a credit card or just a bank account? Seems like a good deal if its just a bank account and no credit check associated.

  • DrRalph on 12/04/2022 - 14:07

    Does this work for both 'Go Account & Boost Saver' and 'Grow Saver'?

    • spritz on 12/04/2022 - 14:11

      It's just the Go account. You get a online saver with the account too

      • DrRalph on 12/04/2022 - 14:15

        Am I missing something here? The link takes me to a page where these are the only two options to choose from: ''Go Account & Boost Saver' and 'Grow Saver''. Is a 'Go account' different?

        • spritz on 12/04/2022 - 14:16
          +2

          Go Account & Boost Saver is transaction account and online savings account.

          Grow saver is online savings account only which won't be eligible for the deal

            +5

            @spritz: Thanks. I'll open a 'Go Account & Boost Saver' account to get the bonus. Might want to update the post to make this clearer as it would be easy to choose the wrong one as the link takes you to a page with 2 choices.

      Gift card conversion is better. Just over $100 worth of Amazon gift cards, depends on retailer

        With 20,000 points I ordered a Woolworths $100 gift card and transferred the remaining points as $9 cash out before closing my account :) which is so easy to do in the app - you don't even have to call :).

            @Swiftz: What the? No, you simply use your Virgin Money bank account, as you use your current bank account to buy essentials or whatever you like.
            Do you have no intention of spending $100 in total within the next 30 days? If so, I'm not sure how you survive (AKA food).
            You get free cash or a gift card just for using your Virgin Money transactions account, that simple.

    Good account to use for Menulog payment: 2,000 Bonus Virgin Money Points (Worth $9-$10) on $25+ Spend at Menulog @ Virgin Money (App Required).

    I think it's more like $10-$11 worth if I remember correctly.

          • ilovefullprice on 12/04/2022 - 16:46

            @Daabido: When financial institutions are asking for DL during the online sign-up process, I don’t think you can load an ID or proof of age card instead (correct me if I am wrong).

      Gift cards are the best value per point. $100 coles/amazon etc gift card is 17,955 pts

      • techlead on 12/04/2022 - 23:39

        That's actually not bad. If its 8 points per $1 spend, that works out to a cashback rate of 4.456%. That's better than the HSBC card!

        • gamesnepal on 29/04/2022 - 18:14

          It is 8 points per transaction.

            @gamesnepal: Yes, Per transaction. I tested it, $0.01 Bpay counts as a transaction lmao At $0.01 per 8 points, the yield goes off the charts, but I don't have time to take advantage lol. Time poor unfortunately

          Under the title it says your code is XXXXXX.

    • ja912son on 12/04/2022 - 16:45

      Can you actually do that before you receive physical card?
      It seems nowhere in the app you can view the full card number.

      • peterwilliams83 on 13/04/2022 - 20:35

        You can't view the card details in the app, but you can add to Apple pay and make a transfer to Revolut using Apple pay :) Not sure if you can do the same with GogglePay

        • JHoliday on 13/04/2022 - 22:14

          How do you do the transfer to Revolut using Apple Pay? Revolut just has my bank account?

            @JHoliday: When I click the 'Add money' button in the Revolut app, under the box where you enter the dollar amount there is the payment method and a 'change button'. So I think you should be able to choose Apple Pay as an option there, and pay that way.

    Easy to sign up, worked perfectly.
    Not sure why people are getting locked out, possibly because you get 2 codes sent through on signup, a verification code and a temporary access code, both 6 digits, may have put the wrong one in?

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 12/04/2022 - 16:34

      When accessing the app and going to “Existing Customers” -> Entering Phone Number and then clicking next it asks for a verification code sent to the phone number not a temporary access code.

      • daclaw on 12/04/2022 - 16:37

        Yes, they send you through a verification code via sms after you download the app and put in your mobile number.
        Put that in then you input the temporary access code on the next screen.
