Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

I don't think that it's fair to say that someone with 2 cards is an abuser. There is nothing in the T&Cs that indicate that you can't have 2 cards. More than one account is against the terms not more than one card as far as I can see.

1/ You missed the entire point - and that is that he had 2 cards - he got flagged, then eventually shut down.

He WAS NOT a "1 card customer" which is what people are asking about in the thread - yet he keeps piping up and claiming that his shutdown was a data point proving that "1 card customers" we're getting shut down.

It's a false point and just pollutes the thread with bad info.


2/ Of course having 2 cards is an abuse! The T&Cs make very clear that you're only allowed 1 account, and you're not supposed to have 2 cards - WHICH EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD IS WELL AWARE.

Of course good on anyone for scamming it and getting away with it. This is the game.

But it's an abuse - and most 2-card abusers are copping it sweet.

But.... They are "2 card abusers".

So completely true. It's just time wasting when people post junk into this thread. I love the hilarity that ensues when those new to the game get shut down for the first time, like it is some mortal offence that came out of the blue.

Have fun, earn points, exploit the loop holes then suck it up when you get blown and move on.

Different times, same address. One had only been open a few months.

 

[deejo77]

1 card account (never had multiple) received letter today. We have 2 accounts at this address and most recent account opened has been closed. Been opened over 12mths.

 

[bam71]

Damn it - we're in the same situation. One account and one card each - same address......... will wait and see ............

 

[scubabe]

Question for everyone getting letters today... what dates are on the letters? Send date, account close date, etc?

I hope that you all receive your points for August?

 

[TedE]

My account has been closed as well. Ah well, I knew it couldn't last forever. Still, can't complain. Final tally is well over 300,000 points. Thanks Bankwest, it's been fun, lets do it again some time.

Same letter and dates as deejo above received by my wife and self this morning (both single carders since Oct-14, 50 Telstra transactions each most days). Was great while it lasted, thanks BankWest, Telstra and AFF members

 

[N860CR]

Same dates for 2 accounts here. Both are long established and have 1 card running 50 Telstra transactions a day. Been a good run, sorry to see it go

Can't complain about that. Wish I was onto this earlier on.

Waiting on the letter to arrive.
Single account opened ages ago.
Only started the telstra transactions 3 months back.
Got a strange statement online dated 25 August
with no transactions. Also received a statement dated
24 August with transactions.

4 accounts at our address:

2 closure letters received today (single card accounts) dated 22nd Aug with 5th Sep closure date

2 accounts still yet to receive a letter - one of which is a 2 card account (and was the earliest opened)

 

[ProggerPete]

Account closed letter received before a single point has made it's way to my Qantas account. I snoozed and I lost. =)

 

[neon_crossing]

5 Closure letters came today for the 5 family members registered at my postal address only one account had 2 cards. Opened at various times over the last 18 months.
Anyone had any luck getting theirs re-instated?
Dated 22nd August, Closure happening 5th September.

2 single card accounts. 1 received the letter today. I guess Monday's mail will have the other. It would appear they are putting the broom through the lot of the 1c x 50 accounts.
There would be a lot of flights that could be attributed to BankWest accounts. I'm not sure who feels the pain the most. BankWest, Telstra or Qantas. I guess we just be thankful for what we got and move on to the next scheme with a beautiful loophole. I hope some of you manage to dodge the letters.
