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.

    can i do 1 cent transaction?

  • CheapBrah on 07/09/2023 - 15:41

    Wasn't going to bother with this, but seems like this may be a good alternative to the citibank plus account which is being merged into nab soon.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/09/2023 - 19:27

      I didnt see no international fees

      However, you gotta remember to constantly put in 2k, and take it out lol

      • MELso on 09/09/2023 - 05:47

        If it’s your main account into which your salary is paid though, you’ll meet this requirement easily.

        I’m seriously thinking of changing over from Citi/NAB both because of the Qantas points and also because I have YouTube set up through Argentine billing and Argentina apparently doesn’t like Visa.

  • mrhorse on 07/09/2023 - 21:12

    Just recieved my card and the activation process is the super confusing, second to none.

    Checked their web portal and the app but there is no place to activate it at all.

    • AngryBlobFish on 07/09/2023 - 22:29

      I was able to easily activate it in the cards section on the app. Just had to enter the expiry date and and make a pin.

    • mrhorse on 08/09/2023 - 18:34

      Mine just doesnt work.
      If activated, I should be able to see the card details.
      If not, I should be able to activate it.

      • AngryBlobFish on 08/09/2023 - 21:17

        yeah, that's odd, probs need to give them a call then. My card was always visible in that tab, even before receiving it.

  • superlouis on 08/09/2023 - 21:20

    When does the monthly cycle start for the 10 transactions? Is it on the 1st of each month, or 30 days from the day the account is activated?

    • lemonbalmtea on 19/09/2023 - 11:27
      +3

      Asked via online chat and got the following response:

      "I have been able to confirm with a specialist that in this case, you would need to make the purchases between the date the account is opened up until the final date of the month it was opened and again between the 1st day and the last day of the following month.

      For example, if you opened the account on the 11th of September, your purchases would need to be within 11th and 30th of September, and again between 1st and 31st of October."

      • firestint on 20/09/2023 - 17:17

        lol this is quite concerning, I got a totally different response when I just chat with them via live chat.

        "To confirm, it would calculate off calendar days and start from when the account was opened. I can see you account was opened on 20/09/2023 (today), in this case, you have from now until roughly late December."

        Not only is their verification process bad, the app and website seem pretty 90's. Plus agents giving out different responses is concerning.

        • puffinfresh on 28/09/2023 - 14:14

          It better be statement month, because I opened my account on Sep 27th

          • johnjones8 on 04/10/2023 - 21:59

            @puffinfresh: Wonder if the same conditions apply to the monthly min deposit to waive the account fee ie is it the 1st-30th or whichever date you are approved on.

            • puffinfresh on 05/10/2023 - 11:08

              @johnjones8: I would say yes. The end of your statement period is when they would decide if that $6 fee needs to be added or not.

        Well, if this is the case. I think I will just wait till early October to open the account otherwise I will have to rush to do 10 transactions within 10 days. And it is also not clear in the T&Cs that if transactions have to be settled within the same month. Wish it is a lot more clearer.

        • Purkulator on 04/10/2023 - 11:11
          +2

          I asked on live chat and was told its 30 days from approval date. I suppose that only make sense because if you apply close to the end of the month it is impossible for you to receive the bonus points on this deal as it would take a few days to receive the card and you would of missed the condition for the first month.

          • bbking18 on 04/10/2023 - 13:10

            @Purkulator: It makes sense. I didn't apply for the account late last month and there was another reason. I would be overseas late Nov and Dec. Not sure if I would be able to make 10 eligible transactions while away overseas for the month of December. I suppose I can use the card to pay my utilities bills but 10 transactions will be difficult to do.

    Does this have a digital card or can you add this to a mobile wallet before the physical card arrives?

    • bargainhunt2020 on 09/09/2023 - 18:27

      I was able to add to Apple Pay Wallet after account creation. Even made transactions using the Card shown in the App.

    • purple1 on 12/09/2023 - 00:35

      Yes. You can add your card to Samsung Pay or Google Wallet manually. You can view your card details (card number, expiry, CVV) within the app. You will most likely need to go through a verification process over the phone to activate your digital card.

  • TheGuru on 10/09/2023 - 13:53

    So if one was to do $1 transaction at coles. Would this earn 3 qantas points?

    Do the points earned from eligible transactions get paid monthly?

  • barseeker on 14/09/2023 - 09:39

    whats the minimum age to open the account?

  • Micky14 on 14/09/2023 - 22:14

    • vawiyoci on 19/09/2023 - 10:09

      Doesn't seem to be any way to increase the fast transfer limit from 1.5k?

      • frugalftw on 19/09/2023 - 10:43

        I only did 1k to test. Didn’t even know there’s a fast transfer and a limit too…

        • capslock on 19/09/2023 - 10:56

          I also got the warning that it might take 3 days but the transfer was processed instantly.

          • frugalftw on 19/09/2023 - 11:59

            @capslock: Maybe it’s a new payee thing? Fund is still missing.

            • elecpurch on 19/09/2023 - 19:04

              @frugalftw: If you make a payment using the app or online banking, we'll automatically send your payment as a Faster Payment if it's eligible (and you're registered for SMS code).

              If you're not registered for SMS code, to make a Faster Payment in online banking you'll need to choose the 'Faster Payment' option when making your payment. You'll only be able to choose this option for existing payment recipients, so you can't make Faster Payments to new recipients without SMS code.

              My first transfer to a new Payee was not fast and it took 2 business days. But any payments to the same payee after that is automatically sent via 'Faster Payment' (which is Osko basically). On the last step of the Payment Process which is "Confirm", you will see "Via Osko" just above the "Yes, this is correct" button.

              • frugalftw on 20/09/2023 - 07:34

                @elecpurch: Thanks. I just saw the funds now. Out of curiosity, I transferred it back and test it for this round. It doesn’t give me any options about fast payment, ETA says ‘4 hours. Why 4 hours? As you are paying someone new, it may take 4 hours or more.’ Doesn’t give me a lot of confidence when a bank doesn’t know I’ve sent money to the same account before, plus it’s saved in the payee list. I also couldn’t add it to Apple wallet. Had an awkward 20 mins at Woolies checkout talking to a rep trying to fix it. They couldn’t in the end, without the physical card in my hand.

                So far it’s not great.

                • elecpurch on 20/09/2023 - 08:31

                  @frugalftw: That's strange! My transfers between this account and uBank have been quick. I am not sure if it was instant as I did not check straight away but definitely less than an hour. I will post here when I do my next transfer. I activated my digital card on the very first day and have not come across any issues using it. I am on Android though so the card is saved on Google Wallet. Have not used the physical card since the day I received it. My only worry is Bankwest having the final say about transactions and which ones are eligible as others have mentioned here.

                    @elecpurch: I'm having this problem with this account transferring from CBA. Normally all my transfers out of CBA are OSKO instant. BankWest I have to wait 24 hours + for funds to hit. CBA said transfers are not going via Osko and it's nothing their end. BankWest isn't replying to my messages :(

                  • frugalftw on 20/09/2023 - 09:59

                    @elecpurch: Just my luck hopefully :) Funds not arrive yet, it’s been two hours.

                    I made a few $5 split payments at Coles to take the pressure off. I think if you do it for a reasonable amount, it’s still ok. I try to make it around the price you’d pay for a coffee. Would be nice if repaying zip pay is covered tho.

    This is the worst, most painful application process ever, and it's for a transaction account!!
    Hardly worth the time and effort at this stage, they want more info after an auspost Id check.

  • homie on 25/10/2023 - 14:37

    Bankwest is probably the worst bank I have dealt with so far. Tried to open an transaction account, their ID was a pain (saw this from other comments so I was prepared to go to auspost to verify my ID). Made an uneventful trip to auspost for the ID check, then got an email to ask me to call them, where I was greeted by a sassy "consultant" over the phone who just gave me attitude. Apparently they had my birthday detail wrong from the application (could have been my fault tbh). Thought that was the end of this painful experience. Two weeks later I was still waiting for a confirmation/ mail. Called them again, only to be told that "sorry this was overlooked". The consultant I spoke to the second time also gave me an attitude. I will definitely close the account as soon as I get the points. But wondering if the 10K points are even worth the pain.

  • Micky14 on 02/11/2023 - 10:03

    I just wanted to let everyone know that, i just got off the phone with bankwest and they confirmed that the 10x transactions are per calendar month!! I unknowingly opened my account on the 31st of October at 6:50pm, so i said to her how am I meant to do 10 transactions then. She said that the sales team was aware of it, but they deem that you can make the 10 transactions as soon as the account is open because you can use the card in your didgital wallet straight away.

    She said i could put in a claim for a good will gesture and see if they will still honour the points! How ridiculous!

    • puffinfresh on 03/11/2023 - 12:12

      What about the fact that transactions don't clear the same day, and are often listed again the following day's date?

      I signed up Sep 27 and did 10 transactions by Sep 30, but because it was a weekend, many are shown under Oct 2.

    • johnjones8 on 05/11/2023 - 10:45

      they deem that you can make the 10 transactions as soon as the account is open

      They definitely don't have their system figured out then since I did exactly that and same with a relative who opened their one on the same day around early September soon after this deal was posted. I never got the points for that month while the relative got theirs combined with the 2nd month's statement. Go figure haha.

      • puffinfresh on 05/11/2023 - 12:13

  • MaxiPower on 06/11/2023 - 15:52

    Has anybody had any experience with this card overseas?

    From my experience it was a nightmare. I got this card as it seemed to have great travel options. But 9/10 times the card wouldn't let me withdraw cash from ATM's. It would go through the motions, and the right at the end that ATM would say it was cancelled. Then when I could find an ATM that did work, that same international companies ATM wouldn't work at another location.

    I could use the card to pay bills, I did update the account to let them know the dates when and where I was overseas, but going to an ATM to get Cash out, just worked once out of 10 attempts at different locations.

    So heads up if you plan to use this Card overseas, be prepared that it might not allow you to take out Money at an ATM.

    I asked in the chat if about my 10 transactions that showed up a day late (next calendar month).

    "When a transaction is made using your Debit Mastercard, it will show as a pending Authorisation Only for up to 7 business days.

    The timeframe for this to be finalised and show as a fully processed transaction depends on when the merchant finalises the charge in their system. I'm sorry to say, we aren't able to change the date a transaction has been finalised and charged.

    I can confirm though, if it helps, we don't base this on calendar months. You have a rolling 30 days to complete the 10 transactions per month."

    Seems people are getting conflicting info. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

    Got my statement today, after using the Bankwest card as my main transaction card for the past 3 months, and having spent $17K through both online and in store purchases… The 309 qantas points earned on transactions is pretty disappointing :( and no 10K points bonus either.

    • SydOzber on 28/11/2023 - 14:25

      did you reach out to support and asked the reason ?
      I have registered only in November and did the $2k deposit + 10 transactions and planning to repeat in Dec and Jan with a hope to receive the 10k points.

      Edit: from the terms - 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.

      I think you need to wait 60 days after meeting the third month criteria.

    • Brick50 on 28/11/2023 - 14:27

          Yeah I was excited when I read 3 points but read it twice.

          Previously I believe there were people doing batch transactions somehow for 1 cent each but Bankwest cracked down on that pretty quickly after they got 10’s of thousands of points

          As well as CC churning, the other thing is to park cash in a MacBank transaction account, which offers 4.75% (vs about 1.1% for Bankwest, if you value Qantas points at 1c each).

          Still waiting on my 10K bonus too FWIW.
