St.George Complete Freedom Opening Error

Hello,

I already have a Complete Freedom account with BoM from few months ago, during the $40 cashback after $160 spend at supermarket promo.

Today I tried to open a new St.George Complete Freedom for the $50 bonus. I have selected “Yes” when being asked “Are you already a St.George customer?” Then I put in my BoM login details.

After confirming my personal details and clicking continue, it said “we’re having some problems” and upon logging in now I can see one BoM Complete Freedom and another one Complete Freedom - Application in progress. When I tried to redo the application again it won’t let me, it just says “It looks like you already have an application in progress. Please complete your current application before opening another account”.

Decided to call in 13 33 30 but the rep said it’s because I already have BoM account and I won’t be eligible for the $50 bonus anyway, which as we all know is incorrect. She said there’s nothing I can do right now regarding the pending application, just wait it out for few days it may be eventually opened or just fall off, but since she had given an incorrect info before I didn’t really trust her words.

Anyone have had similar experience? What did you do to solve this?

Thank you

      At least he's saving money on rent.

      • That's because taxpayers are paying for his accomodation.

          He’s living rent-free in someone’s head and it’s telling.

          • @JIMB0: It's not rent-free. It is costing everyone…

            • @jv: Sounds like it’s costing you more than anyone else.

              • @JIMB0: It's definitely costing the higher taxpayers more…

              • @JIMB0: Do you think it's OK that the government spend up to $150 million on one of their websites instead of say, health or education?

                Someone must be laughing all the way to the bank…

          the new radar is rubbish. it doesn't have radar ranges that you can bookmark. you always have to stuff around zooming in. i don't care about the rest of australia, just where i am

      Don't be Silly Albo is not Morrison!

      Albo is only worried about International stuff
      Not called Airbus Albo for nothing.

      Most of the shit happening with BOM started years ago ( they didn't just decide to start in the last electoral cycle) or two.

      The client ( us) facing website info did need updating -but God knows who they showed it to before going live.

    But back to the main Topic
    I vowed decades ago to steer clear of this useless mob.
    Westpac group of banks.

    They took over Advance Bank whom i had my main Mortgage with.
    Fark was downhill from there
    Fees +++
    Service- - -

    Fokkers. Never happier to discharge Mortgage and wave goodbye to that sh1tshow.

    It’s because St George and Bank of Melbourne have same backend system. In Victoria they operate under Bank of Melbourne and in NSW, they’re operate under St. George.
    If you got account with one, you are in both systems.
    That’s what they told me a few months ago.

    But OP knows better than customer service and is entitled to get his $50.
