Last year, BW's January's points were paid on the 15th, so I wouldn't expect this month's much before the 13th (January 1 was a Friday last year and a Sunday this year).

Well duh! Why didn't I think of that! Thanks for the suggestion. All from BW and coming in at 100K/month to someone I know's account! It's being emptied each month. Another, why didn't I think of that, idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, indeed. It just seems so wasteful to allow BW to reverse the points.

Apologies to those less fortunate, but is anyone else about to hit the 600K limit for family transfers in any 12 month period, thanks to BW? Does anyone know how to continue transferring points, despite this limit?

A very late update. This account was closed the next day, Oct 11. Was someone at BW watching? The account keeping fee was reversed, as was the interest earned. For some reason though, the points were actually paid.

It sure is quiet in here since BW shut almost everyone's account(s). And Telstra killed off 1¢ payments. (Or has some creative person managed to resurrect them?)

This account is still open, 4 weeks after BW said they would close it. They even charged the account keeping fee on Oct 1, so the balance is now -$6.

I assume you mean statement. There's been no statements issued since the advised closure date, as there have been no transactions and the account is still open. Should either of these change, then I would expect a statement. Will be interesting to see if BW pay the QFF points earnt in September.

Bizarrely, the account's still open a week after BW said it would be closed (13/09). Could the FOS have had a word with BW, about closing accounts just 5 days after the account holder receives the notification?

The last of the accounts I had access to, was due for closure today. It's still open at this stage, though. Just want to check. Have there been any closure dates specified, other than August 25, September 5 and September 13?

The last statement issued for this account shows points for transactions (that were paid to the QFF account) AND an adjustment, which deducts the same number of points, so the total points earned for the month is zero. I've transferred all the QFF points from this account to another account, to...

That account was closed within the last hour.

Received QFF points today for 3 accounts, despite none of the 3 accounts producing a statement showing the points and 2 accounts being closed August 25 (remember, when the account is closed, BW don't pay points in the last month, according to the T&C's). Now I'm annoyed that I stopped payments...

"... the Bank has provided you a 14 day period to open a new facility ..." That's a lie. Has anyone received the letter 14 days before the closure date? In my case, it's two letters 8 days before closure and one letter 7 days before closure! I wonder what the FOS would have to say about...

WTF! BW appear to have no rhyme and reason to the order of the closures. Are they doing them by postcode? Curiously, you can still apply to open this type of account. The letter says nothing about reapplying. I wonder if anyone's game to try straight away? Though, I wouldn't bother if it's only...
