It's been a while since they ran an offer like this. The account has a $6 monthly fee which can be waived if you deposit $2,000 each month.

Terms and conditions:

The 10,000 bonus Qantas Points promotion is a stand-alone promotion and is only available to new Bankwest Transaction Account customers who open a Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account between 1 September 2023 and 30 November 2023 (‘promotional period’) and meet the following criteria. The Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account must remain open during the promotional period and at the time of crediting the Qantas Points. The Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account must be linked to a valid Qantas Frequent Flyer Account to receive bonus Qantas Points. Customers must be a new Bankwest Transaction Account holder who has not held a Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account in the last 24 months.

Customers who have closed a Transaction Account (not including a Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account) more than 30 days prior, will be considered a new Transaction Account holder. For the first 3 months from the date of Account opening, customers must complete a minimum of 10 eligible transactions per month using a Bankwest Debit Mastercard.

Most purchases are eligible purchases except some things such as balance transfers, bank fees, gambling, government charges and anything else listed in Section 1 of our Bankwest Qantas Rewards Program terms and conditions (PDF). If you have satisfied all the eligibility criteria, 10,000 bonus Qantas Points will be credited to the Qantas Frequent Flyer Account linked to the Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account within 60 days of you meeting the eligibility criteria. The 10,000 bonus Qantas Points promotion is subject to change, promotion ends 30 November 2023.

        Don't you mean a total of 30?

        • vawiyoci on 01/09/2023 - 09:34

          Yeah seems like most of the comments here are missing the detail that you need to do 10x a month and not just 10x total.

    So you need to have the account open for 3 months but the promotion ends Nov 30th – does this mean you have to open the account tomorrow?

      No, because the T&Cs say "for customers who open an account between" those dates

  • wutang01 on 31/08/2023 - 23:30

    Interesting. Might pair this with Qantas Premier Platinum for its 'Plus an additional 20,000 bonus points if you haven’t earned Qantas Points with a credit card in the last 12 months.'
    Transaction account + credit card.

  • BrunoBear on 01/09/2023 - 01:24

    3 Qantas points per eligible transaction. Surely this is open for abuse…

    A few years ago I remember someone here getting millions of points by taking advantage of a similar offer by another bank (auto script to do 1c transactions).

    If you already have a different type of bankwest transaction account can you qualify for promo if you open this qantas account? Or do you need to close the transaction account wait 30days then apply for this offer?

    do you need to do 10 transactions per month for 3 months? So 30 transactions?

    Realistically, who has the opportunity to spend money once every three days? Don’t people have to work, gym and home? I guess if you have to buy coffee or take out that’s easily doable?

    • impoze on 01/09/2023 - 09:05

          making 10 payments in a month is quite easy, particularly for people who are out of the house a lot. Bit harder for ppl who work from home

      You could make 3-4 purchases every Saturday. Bread from one store, milk from a 2nd store, eggs from a 3rd store and then a drink from a 4th to recover from all that running around.

      I understand this is a NSW thing, but I'm going to trial this with the Bankwest Qantas debit:
      https://transportnsw.info/news/2023/express-mode-for-apple-p…

      Hopefully the Opal fare deducted counts for the 3 Qantas points.

        That’s an interesting one. I forgot you could use your normal credit/debit cards in NSW, it’s already pretty good, now even better.

        According to the MCC list, Opal is classified as Transportation, not Government, so you'll be right.

          I’ll try!!
          I’m concerned BankWest will just make a deposit end of month as a lump sum.
          I can’t find a ‘reward transaction activity’ within online banking or in-app either.

    • haemolysis on 02/09/2023 - 03:39

      Realistically I think very few people make less than that many transactions. Probably much less than 1%. A bus ticket here, a coffee there, a drink at a bar… and you’ve already done your 3. It is not onerous.

  • Poor Ass on 01/09/2023 - 09:13

    did I just read 3 points for any eligible purchase?

      Yes, however its per transaction, not per dollar spent.

      You can withdraw the nano second it arrives in your bank account. Partially with payid and fast pay. You can transfer in and out very fast. Note you will lose interest for that one day.

      • timhn on 01/09/2023 - 13:04

        Just did that this morning but with $1K.

        Trx $1K from my account to HSBC
        Then ping pong that between HSBC and BW (both needed $2K deposited/month). Then finally to MeBank.

        • pandadude on 02/09/2023 - 13:45

          Why wouldn't u just deposit the amount so you can be hsbc premier? The money doesn't have to stay there. The main advantage is you can call the premier line instead which 24/7 line and gives you customer service in english, mandarin and cantonese. Also allows you to open accounts overseas. Really l just use it for the paywave rebate but sometimes need to call customer service and withdraw money overseas. The premier relationship manager depends who you get. The persob l got is not very good he couldn't even tell me about the new premier cards.

          The qantas premier world mastercard now is also free with 1 to 1 qantas points up to 120k. The currently promotion is 1 to 1.5 qantas points up to 120k first year. I am considering as using this as my direct debit credit card.

          I literally do the transfer on the first day so both hsbc and ubank saving account meet their requirements.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2023 - 10:37

    It seems like Bankwest don't like people gaming the system.

    It's not so hard to buy some gift cards, and just pay for fuel or something here and there to make it look legit.

    But even transferring money in and out could be considered gaming the system.

    I think a lot of banks will tire of CC flippers too, and I noticed a lot of online businesses changing refund policies.

    Unfortunately, people abuse the system and eventually it backfires.

    • vawiyoci on 01/09/2023 - 11:09

      But even transferring money in and out could be considered gaming the system.

      If you mean the monthly fees then other banks don't seem to care about it.

      I think a lot of banks will tire of CC flippers too, and I noticed a lot of online businesses changing refund policies.

      Not sure how you conflate CC flippers with refund policies unless you've been meeting the minimum spend and then refunding the entire amount or something. They've already been upping the annual fees and reducing the bonuses anyway.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2023 - 12:23

        Yeah, I mean simply people who cancel the card the day they get the points.

      In regard to this account, do they send you a debit credit card? People only signed up today, so you already can start using the debit credit card I'm assuming? Confused how you used so quickly.

      Someone in the previous post, mentioned they did the Coles trick of purchasing or splitting in order by 10 ways of $0.01 or $0.05 and apparently they blocked that customer getting the points said they were gaming the system.

        In that case they're not sure if was the 1c part or the all-at-once that was the offending issue for Bankwest to place the block though. As my other comment above if bankwest cares that much they should just stipulate the exact criterias in the T&Cs eg must be 10 separate transactions of $10 or more and no more than 3 transactions a day at once etc etc.

        • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2023 - 15:25

          Whether or not something's mentioned in the terms and condition, normally in those terms and conditions, it also states that the bank or the business can adjust or reject based on such and such

          So if they didn't say $0.01 or $0.05 or $1 or $10 someone would still be trying to game the system.

          What they should say is, any attempt to gain the system for points alone will be rejected or possibly rejected and saying that if you do that you may be blacklisted from opening an account with them in the future.

          I don't think that would be as much fun for them as letting you open account and wasting your time and then rejecting you based on what they believe is gaming the system.

          I guess you could say they have a sense of humor?

            Well considering one of the previous commenters that got banned literally had a customer service agent tell them that they technically didn't do anything against the t&cs / couldn't outright prove what they did was 'fraudulent' but they still couldn't reverse it, seem like BW does need to make it clearer or add more conditions.

    10 transactions isn't so bad, but it seems if you did the mall in a few days and then didn't use your account for 3 weeks, they may use it against you

    It seems like risky unless you're going to use it on a day-to-day basis and forget about all your other cards
