Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

[N860CR]

Looks to be an issue with the 10 Aug iMacro update.

The program is having issues with content that starts with a "0". Removing the 0 from the expiry month fixes the failure there, however one of my cards has a 0** CCV which was also producing a failure.

I played around a bit and editing the macro to read CONTENT="000" rather than CONTENT=000 seems to fix it.

I've never updated iMacro, so not sure how it's become a problem in my version.

iMacros automatically update - users have no say in it ...

I've worked out a fix Craig. In your macro, change the expiryMonth CONTENT to be 8, rather than 08.

I've got no idea why, but that has fixed up all my accounts.

Great stuff. I have modified my macro and all is working again.

Thanks for your help.

I also had the same issue with the CCV and this has fixed it.

Thanks for your help.

Strangely recording a new macro with the new version didn't fix the problem.
The macro still needed to be edited after recording.

I found that the most confusing part. It had me scratching my head for a while late last night. I blame the vino for my delay in figuring it out

I've personally tried Telstra and EnergyAustralia (back before they imposed $0.10 minimums) and Telstra is about 3x easier.

Has anyone tried any other merchants that are also quite straightforward to run $0.01s with? Bupa anyone?

Bupa has a 5c minimum. Works fine otherwise.

Is it as quick/straightforward as Telstra? For example, can you refresh on the receipt page to initiate subsequent transactions?

Not sure, I'm a java programmer, so I'm using that.

Ah wow cool. Have you used iMacros too? Which ones easier?

[Off topic] Do you make (Android) apps too? lol

Never used it, but I'm sure imacro is easier for anyone who hasn't done any Java. If you've done java then Selenium and PhantomJS get the job done pretty easily.

I've played with android, but not done any serious development for it.

a friend has recieved the dreaded letter today (+ family). something regarding rules 2.1 (can't remember). But it's slowly occuring!

Mrs lilkid has also received her in the mail, citing clause 23.1. I haven't received mine yet; so hasn't the parents yet. Counting the days now.

Could it be due to small balance in account? As I only keep a $2k balance and it's on her account. Ours are all less than $100.

Was your friend doing transaction everyday? I heard that if there's inactivity on the account then they would investigate it.

while I have no reason to really doubt what you say, surely people making multiple transactions every single day is what would be potentially regarded as abuse!

Not everyone reads this forum and I'd suggest inactivity of some sort is in fact fairly 'normal'.

There is no clause 23.1 in these documents:

There is no clause 23.1 in these documents:

They referred to the Bankwest Investment and Transaction Accounts Terms and Conditions; a quick look shows that it applies to all investment and transaction accounts; so I guess including the Bankwest Qantas transaction account.
