At UBank we like to tweet! Being on Twitter gives us the opportunity to interact with you - our customers, fans and followers. To say thank you we're giving away a UBank USB to followers of UBank on Twitter!

All you need to do is be one of the first 1000 followers to fill out the registration form below and still be a follower on the 31st of May and we'll send you one. It's easy.

And because we like you, we know we're going to like your friends, so spread the word about following us on Twitter and how to get a UBank USB stick too!

https://www.ubank.com.au/thanks/index.html

(Edited by scotty — UBank's Twitter account is obviously @ubank. Don't forget to follow @ozbargain as well, although no prize for that :))

    kind of nifty shaped little usb. Although, i don't have a twitter. Sorry

  • Lenneth on 14/05/2009 - 20:40

    Thanks ubank! I can't wait to see the next thing you give out.

    • Davo1111 on 14/05/2009 - 20:48

      dude, it's a $5 USB key, if you dont have twitter, then don't worry - its not the end of the world.

      It takes less time to open a twitter account than it does to fill in the form for the free USB drive. Either you want the freebie or you don't.

  • impoze on 14/05/2009 - 20:45

    sweeeeet

  • scotty on 14/05/2009 - 21:18

    Very viral… Followed. Let's see whether the USB drive turns up :)

    ubank got me to finally join Twitter! Thanks :D

    • Blinda on 14/05/2009 - 21:55

      aren't you from vogue forum??

      • tanoshiiki on 14/05/2009 - 22:13

        I'm from everywhere :P
        However, yes, I do frequent the Vogue forums as well.

        • browser on 15/05/2009 - 00:15

          Apologies for an unrelated question. How do you post on Vogue forum? I can start a new thread or reply to posts but it never appear in the forum? Being a new member I can't pm the admin or mod or any other user to get help.

          • tinx on 15/05/2009 - 11:36

            @browser: i want to know that too.
            my wife curious about that!

            • tanoshiiki on 15/05/2009 - 18:19

              @tinx: I joined up ages ago (in 2004) when you could immediately post after registration. Things have now changed in that members have to gain credit, I guess, first. This is probably done by posting some useful replies to existing posts, which won't be displayed, but the mods will look at. There doesn't seem to be a consistent time as to how long the whole process takes though. It's not foolproof though because I have seen spam pop through.

  • djkizz on 14/05/2009 - 22:17

    I'm guessing if they live up to the deal then everyone who's joining them now will defo get one, since they dont have 1,000 followers? I followed them!

  • POWERevolution on 14/05/2009 - 22:39

    Hope they have enough for us :)
    850 already…

    Thanks for your support. Those drives are limited edition, so they may well become collectors items :)

    Nice deal! Great marketing concept by UBank too. Not sure how successful it will be in terms of actual account sign-ups, but it sure does put UBank under a positive light.

  • Jacku on 15/05/2009 - 00:19

    I'm 965!!

  • GreenGuava on 15/05/2009 - 00:37

    It's almost over! There are less than ten 'follows' remaining as of this post! Get in as quick as you can if you still want one!

    1000 =O

  • immature on 15/05/2009 - 00:47

    Phew I think that I just snuck in!! Just hit 1000 :)

  • GreenGuava on 15/05/2009 - 00:51

    LOL, I shouldn't laugh, but I feel sorry for the person who signed up at 1001…

    Oh well, for those who signed up tonight, remember that you'll need to fill out the form at www.ubank.com.au/thanks as well as remain followers of @UBank until the end of the month to receive your USB drive.

    • letgo on 15/05/2009 - 00:53

      LMAO, I believe that was me

      • clem on 15/05/2009 - 23:05
        -1

        LOL the form says you have to "be one of the first 1000 followers to fill out the registration form below and still be a follower on the 31st of May"

        So I'm kinda guessing that just cause you were 1001st doesn't necessarily mean you don't get it because maybe you filled out your form faster than I did for my friend xD

        When I signed up I was 1000th, except I took my time filling out the form cause I was Facebooking and thought that as long as I was 1000th it would work -.-'

        Then I read that you had to be the first 1000 to fill out the form, not just follow T___T

        • GreenGuava on 15/05/2009 - 23:27

          Good thing for me I started following and completed my form at around the 775 mark :D

          • clem on 16/05/2009 - 02:37

            @GreenGuava: lol! yeh i filled one out for myself and a friend round 600
            then just decided to try get another one for another friend just for the thrill of being the 1000th person xD
            but she probably wont get it haha

    Damn. Just went to the site and saw 1005. I bet no one is going to join anymore lol

    • [Deactivated] on 15/05/2009 - 10:22

      I'd still join. You can absolutely guarantee there are at least 50 or so spammers following ubank, and most of those account will be disabled by the time the USB sticks are awarded.

        • GreenGuava on 18/05/2009 - 19:20

          Still waiting on it here as well. Hopefully this campaign won't backfire on UBank in terms of Twitter follower backlash due to sloppy handling of these USB keys. :)

          • GreenGuava on 19/05/2009 - 12:40

            @GreenGuava: Update from Twitter: UBank - An update for those *still waiting for an email from us regarding USBs, we're running a bit behind with that, it'll be out later today, thx*

          • GreenGuava on 20/05/2009 - 18:48

            @POWERevolution: Have you checked your spam folder? If it's not there then maybe Twitter @UBank and ask if you are on their list.

  • Josh81 on 04/06/2009 - 02:14

    Received mine yesterday. The actual drive is pretty small, and cool looking without the added bulk of the U. So i altered it, and cut of one side of the U, and rounded off the end of the cap so it looked the same both sides.
    I used the existing curve on the drive side as a stencil and used a kitchen knife to cut downwards to form a clone of that curve. Then in order to even it up i rubbed it on a hard surface in the jagged areas, and it rubbed down to a nice smooth curve.
    Looks awesome now. I put it on my keyring.
    Feel bad about dissing Ubank's marketing freebie, but couldn't resist cause it's so much smaller now.

      That looks cool, I like that pill looking design :D I'd be too scared to cut mine though.
      I'm still waiting for my usb, but looks like ubank is sad about your mod; probably because you cut off their branding.

      @UBank "Josh81" on @ozbargain did some 'mods' to his @UBank USB :'( …don't try this at home folks! http://bit.ly/EL6xG & http://bit.ly/3JDt5A
