I wonder what the story behind this is...

 

[DejaBrew]

Is there any background to this? I must have been completely oblivious to any goings on...

 

[andye]

Just checked and nothing pending though it says my lifetime earnings are >$5k so its been good to me (though some of this was discounted Woolies eGCs which I have sourced elsewhere for a while now)

 

[markis10]

Probably ran out of funding, with ANZ saying no

Yeah, looking like ANZ has decided to wind it up.

 

[muppet]

Interesting. If it was broke it wouldn’t be paying everyone out.

Interesting. If it was broke it wouldn’t be paying everyone out.

ANZ owned, so certainly not broke. Perhaps simply not generating any revenue?

 

[markis10]

Interesting. If it was broke it wouldn’t be paying everyone out.

It’s probably not generating a return on capital that ANZ expected

 

[elanshin]

Thats pretty nuts, well time to take out the slight remaining balance i have left in there.

 

[kpc]

I still have about $440+ pending...so hopefully that gets approved and i can withdraw asap.

Whars left? Shopback? Topcashback? Any others in Oz?

Will be approved by 11th
ANZ sold off the side-business it owned, which Cashrewards operated under.

ANZ’s venture capital fund offloads $67m stake in Airwallex

Founders and executives at Airwallex have bought a tranche of shares in the company, including shares owned by ANZ’s venture capital partner.

www.afr.com

ANZ’s venture fund 1835i has cashed in one of its prized assets, selling its shares in fast-growing payments business Airwallex to its founders and executives for $US44 million ($66.8 million,) amid a wider review of the bank’s operations.

That indicates 1835i sold some assets, not that they have been sold

 

[Steady]

Bugger, I have had a good run with Cashrewards

 

[MELso]

I only have about 84c in my account, but I wonder what happens to the promotional amounts?

I had a couple of $5 bonuses pending from Amazon and Woolies but these seem to have gone, unlike the transactions themselves.

EDIT - ah, all good it seems...
