    Thanks OP.
    Might sign wife up and use her card for shopping as my 5% rebate expire in a couple of weeks

    • aussiedogga on 19/03/2014 - 18:54

      If you open a joint account make sure you put your wife as the primary applicant and you as the secondary applicant. That way you will definitely get the 5% rebate

      • powerhead on 19/03/2014 - 19:59

        Wasn't going for a joint account, but rather open just in her name and closing mine. Then 6-8 months later come back as a 'new customer' to get 5% back but reading comments below is making me thinking… Should I bother?

  • gsrt22 on 19/03/2014 - 17:40

    I closed my account 3 months ago. Would I be considered a new customer?

    • cashless on 19/03/2014 - 17:43

      Similar here. Currently have joint acct with partner which has just started paying only 2% rebate. Wonder if I resurrected old acct (in my name only), would it qualify?

    • edgar28 on 19/03/2014 - 18:53

      yeah just wonder about that too. Some banks (or card) has a cooling off period of 6 months

    • aussiedogga on 19/03/2014 - 18:55

      No, definitely not.

    • creeps_bay on 19/03/2014 - 19:56

      It may not work, they knocked me down saying they have an old a/c under my name so I will receive only 2% :(

      • tdonovic on 19/03/2014 - 22:25

        Any idea if you get the $50? thats what im more concerned about with the ME bank offer now avaliable

  • AnDyStYLe on 19/03/2014 - 18:02

    Thanks OP, great timing as I was looking at signing up an Orange account for the 5% rebate. Bonus $50 ^_^

  • rambokid on 19/03/2014 - 18:04

    where is the 2% rebate.

    The website says "Earn 2% cash back with deposits". is this the same ??

    so it is an interest on deposit… not a cashback on payments. Do we have to maintain a minimum balance?

    • Gingerbeard on 19/03/2014 - 19:44

      If you are not a new customer, you can get 2% cash back so long as there are $2000 worth of deposits into the account every month. The money doesn't all have to go in at the same time, so the same money (say $200)can go in and out, so you withdraw it and re-deposit multiple times to reach the total of $2000 if you won't have the full value of new money deposited every month.

      • rambokid on 19/03/2014 - 20:37

        Thanks

        Yes I rang Ing and they explained in detail.

  • Ahan on 19/03/2014 - 18:06

    Damn!!

    Only signed up in last week after my 5% cashback finished.

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 19/03/2014 - 18:07

    • spendinghacker on 21/03/2014 - 09:19

      Agreed but only provided you NEVER had an Orange Everyday account before.

      Not many long time ozbargainers would fall into that category ;)

        • spendinghacker on 21/03/2014 - 10:51

          Ok Muncan. Fair enough. :)

          If you have a 'hack' that would work , let us know as I am very keen to 'milk' ING some more.

          They have been without a doubt my absolute best 'cow' over the years (been 'milking' them since they first came to Australia) but there is never such thing as enough when it comes to a bank…

  • ttkc on 19/03/2014 - 18:27

    Time to close account, then reopen?

    • m2000 on 19/03/2014 - 18:33

      may not be eligible for the bonus $50?

    • spendinghacker on 21/03/2014 - 09:15

      Nah, will not work.

      ING Direct have cracked down hard on their "new customer only" enforcement method and as I have tested now myself (as well as getting my mum and partner to test it for me), if you ever had an Orange Everyday account with them, they will find you when you apply and will not pay bonus or give the 5% cashback.

      Bummer but that's how it is. Loyalty does not pay :(

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 19/03/2014 - 18:30
    +1

    Just spoke to a rep and she confirmed that closing and reopening the account doesn't get you $50. You have to be a first time customer.

    • nahi11 on 19/03/2014 - 18:36

      Yup. They will just reopen your previous account - same client/account number. Previously you could do this but I think they fixed the loophole.

      However, it's great if you are a new everyday account customer.

      • f4te on 19/03/2014 - 18:39

        No, they have not.

        • spendinghacker on 21/03/2014 - 09:17

          No, they have not

          Please explain PissLUR. Reckon you can 'milk' another 50 bucks from ING?

          If so, let's hear it ;)

        • muncan on 21/03/2014 - 09:58
          +1

          Show me the money!

        • muncan on 21/03/2014 - 14:18

          Exactly. The second you end up actually speaking to somebody at ING, all bets are off.

        • spendinghacker on 21/03/2014 - 15:05

          Didn't work as per my testing PissLUR.

          My mum opened an account online a few months ago (as a NEW customer. I told her what to click). She had an OE account before that but it was closed for over 6 months.

          She completed the identity check online.

          When ING opened the account, they put it under her old client ID and are only paying her 2% rebate.

          Can you please advise when was the last time this 'hack' worked for either yourself or someone you know personally?

        • PissLUR on 21/03/2014 - 15:10

          I havent really tested it myself, just read cooni's experience.

          shouldn't the account be opened automatically after online identity verification?

        • spendinghacker on 21/03/2014 - 21:40

          Yes, I think the system identifies automatically. Probably using the TFN.

          I guess it means you could potentially get away with more 'milking' if you don't quote your TFN.

        • PissLUR on 22/03/2014 - 00:58

          there could be other parameters such as mobile phone number, dob, etc

  • frewer on 19/03/2014 - 18:33

    if i withdraw an amount of less than #200 i will be charge with a fee ?
    Edit: which ATM i can withdraw the cash from ?

    • f4te on 19/03/2014 - 18:40

      Yes you will be charged a fee at the discretion of the ATM operator. You can withdraw cash from any ATM.

    • Gingerbeard on 19/03/2014 - 20:07

      I think you can get any amount you want for free using eftpos (you can do it at woolies checkout with no purchase). If you get $200 out using eftpos you get a $0.50 rebate paid into your account.

  • scopmes on 19/03/2014 - 18:52
    +1

    do i need to keep the $2000 till the end of the period 16th may or just put the money and move it after couple of days.

    • Gingerbeard on 19/03/2014 - 19:59

      I think it is just a total of $2000 of deposits before the period ends, so it could be you weekly pay or something that builds to $2000 over more than one deposit. This is a spending account after all.

  • easternculture on 19/03/2014 - 19:09

    i have a saving maximiser with ING.

    can i still apply for this an get $50 as i dont have an orange everyday account ?

    • alterego13 on 19/03/2014 - 19:22

      Would like to know as well.

    • Gingerbeard on 19/03/2014 - 19:29

      Unlikely, you need to go through the linked page and say you are a new customer to ING.

      • regenade on 19/03/2014 - 20:09

        You need to be a new ING Everyday Account customer, I had called up ING and confirmed giving her my client ID for my Savings Maximizer. If I dont get my $50 I will have this noted call for reference.

        • easternculture on 19/03/2014 - 20:32
          +1

          Yep confirmed by phone call. You have to be a new account holder for a Orange everyday account.

        • regenade on 19/03/2014 - 21:59

          Awesome , I am with you on this, I feel so secure. You will not let them out so easily if we dont get the $50 Cash back. I was also told that the cashback will land in 10 days into my account.

        How would YOU generate $2,000 per month?

        The answer has been staring us in the face all this time…
        EC, I've got this friend see, who wears a shady cloak, who needs me to earn him $2,000/month. Can you help us out?
        There's a lot of fingers to be had.

    • Gingerbeard on 19/03/2014 - 19:39

      If you have $200 you can:

      deposit it,
      withdraw it all at the same time through any ATM for free,
      and then deposit it again,

      Make sure you go through the cycle 10 times so you have made $2000 of deposits before the due date. If you have less than $200 spare (feeling for you if this is the case) check the rules for eftpos as I think they might be free withdrawals (so you can do it at the checkout at woolies without a purchase). Do the same thing cycling through cash out and deposit until you have made the $2000 deposit threshold.

      You could also move the money with online bank transfers backwards and forwards between ING and another bank.

    Hey ING Direct, I will give you a $50 if you would beat every other savings account rate for the next year, like me on facebook, deposit $2000 into my account so I can make interest of it and give me your CEO personal details. How’s that for a deal?

  • NotAMoodle on 19/03/2014 - 23:00

    What about this.

    If you have a friend who is a merchant who uses Paywave (or you are in fact a merchant and have it linked to another account)could you, in theory, do a $100 purchase of something, get the merchant to give you the $100 back, deposit the $100 back into ING account then do another $100 paywave, then get the $100 back and go on and on and on making 5% each time for the first 6 months?

    Just a thought, I'm sure the theory is flawed somehow….

    • DealzEddy123 on 19/03/2014 - 23:17

      possibly. your merchant friend would be having to pay a small percentage merchant fee to visa as well though

      • JetBombat on 23/03/2014 - 19:07

        and tax on every "sale"

    • muncan on 19/03/2014 - 23:17

      Keep it under $100 to get the rebates

      New Orange Everyday customers get 5% cash back on Visa payWave purchases under $100 in Australia, for the first 6 months.

      • NotAMoodle on 19/03/2014 - 23:47

        My bad. $99.99 then

    • t25 on 19/03/2014 - 23:29

      even better. every hour, keep aside those cash sales, and chuck them on paywave.

      in effect you get 5% cashback on "withdrawing" cash. :D

    • Gingerbeard on 19/03/2014 - 23:59

      there is a thread about people who have received calls from ING or had there account put on hold for multiple purchases on the same day at the same retailer adding to more than $100.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/118056

      • NotAMoodle on 20/03/2014 - 00:05

        Oh, well lets imagine ING's software now doesn't pick this up anymore…. Imagine.

    • NotAMoodle on 20/03/2014 - 00:03

      Here's the fee's as an example - http://imgur.com/XKBflPa

      Lets say you choose the monthly $150 plan with $12000 turnover per month. That's roughly 120 transactions you could Paywave per month. 5% of this is around $600 cash back per month which gets you $450 profit per month.

      If you go over your $12000 per month limit you only get charged 1.5%, so you will still be making 3.5% per transactions I guess.

      I'm sure ING would cotton on to whats happening pretty quickly depending on how robust their software engineers designed the system.

      Or they might read this post, who knows.

      in previous instances, I think this would work, but now it seems they must have tightened things up. I was motivated by this deal to open up an individual account to get another 6 months at 5% and hopeful for the $50 (current joint account reaching expiry) but seems to be showing only 2% for the rebate on the newaccount :o(

  • super-tight on 21/03/2014 - 18:33

    I was told I am not eligible for the bonus cash by a phone rep

    I opened my first and only orange everyday account with them, in January.

    Reason I was given is that: Offer is only available for those who signed up after 17/03/2014 (date when offer started) and since I signed up much earlier - "$50 Cash bonus offer is not available in conjunction with any other promotional offer"(5% cashbank on paywave offerin my case)

    I signed up with the deal site anyway. might find out on 26th May I guess if it paid out or not.

        Hi,

        I sent a message to ING via the online banking part. I got a reply saying as long as ive made a deposit of at least $2k then its fine. It does not need to stay in the account.

  • Hoju on 02/04/2014 - 19:41

    Does anyone know how/when the paywave 5% cashback is given? I've made a few purchases but to date they are just appearing online as normal statements.

    • muncan on 02/04/2014 - 20:04
      +1

      The rebates should appear the moment your payments clear (usually 2 days).
      If they don't, best to send them a message.

      • Hoju on 02/04/2014 - 20:08

        Thanks for the reply. Oddly enough it didn't show when the transactions initially appeared, but now the 'Wave and Save rebate' is there :)
        Absolutely stoked to be saving 5% on just about everything. I'm someone who really counts the pennies so to save $2 here and there is pretty exciting :)

        • muncan on 02/04/2014 - 20:48

          If you're anything like me and keep minimal funds in your ING cashback account, be sure to download their awesome app to quickly check your balance without logging in & stay abreast of all your rebates. Just checked our rebate total and we've got back over $350 since last rebooting the account. (wow that's $7000 laundered!)
