10,000 Bonus QFF Points for opening an IG Share trading account

[Steady]

Tried to transfer my funds to my bank account and got this message:

'Dear xx_X,


Thank you for your request to withdraw funds from your IG account by bank transfer.


Due to a relatively short time you've been trading with us, we are required to send the funds back to the original source they were deposited from. In your case it means that we can only send your money back to your Paypal account.

.

In the meantime, I recommend logging into your IG account and re-requesting your withdrawal back to your Paypal account. This will be processed as soon as possible and will take under 24 hours to allocate the funds back to your account.

Seems dodgy as I didn't use a paypal account to fund my share purchase.

I got the same - deposited with a Visa Debit and tried to withdraw to the Bank account the visa debit was linked to

Weird as it has been two weeks for me now.

That is what the terms have said all along. But many here report getting the points within a few days.

When setting up the account do you open CFD Trading, Share Trading or both?

Share trading to get the points.

Has changed since Tuesday then (though funds yet to hit my bank account)

Oops-had misentered my account number. The transfer bounced. Still able to request it to go to my bank account this time round despite loading with PayPal

Im super new to this trading business, is it as follows through IG?
1. Choose a trade (BHP, NAB etc)
2. Click on the 'buy' option and input min AUD90
3. Does order type matter at all? What's best if i just want to place a trade and then later tonight sell in order to get the 10k points?

EDIT: Have sorted it out

 

[Steady]

If I'm lucky I may get my 10K QFF points for nothing....

Tried again to have my money withdrawn to my savings account. Once again rejected. I don't have a paypal account!

Hi all
I signed up today for IG and deposited funds. When I go to try and buy BEN shares I get a message saying that the market is no longer available online. Is this because it is the weekend or is there some other reason?

cheers Peter

Transfer $10K across and back, pay $100? Transfer $100K for 200,000 MR points for $1,000 - enough CX points to do RTW in J...What am I missing?

Confirming this strategy works. A very significant number of points have now hit my account.

You need to open an IG account via this link: Join IG's Qantas Frequent Flyer Program

And then after opening the IG account, register your QFF number here: Join IG's Qantas Frequent Flyer Program

The T&Cs, including details of the 10k bonus points are here: IG-Qantas Frequent Flyer partnership terms and conditions

Thanks for your help - waiting for the funds to clear and then I'll trade.

Deposited using AMEX via PayPal and withdrawn straight to your bank account?

Yes. Principal returned within 24 hours to my bank account. Immediately put the money back into my AMEX account. No interest or any other charge from AMEX. Rinse and repeat many many times.

I used to have a great little score going with AMEX travelers cheques, I would buy them in AUD via bpay with a credit card as a purchase, deposit them back to my bank as a cheque, no fees, use the 55 interest free days and then pay back to the CC.

Unfortunately it melted some time ago :-(
