    Only available to first 3000 applications

    • bonz on 22/06/2015 - 10:43

      Any way to find out if you're the first 3001+ applicant?

  • karen_lee89 on 22/06/2015 - 10:00

    Are the referral codes different this time around- the code the OP posted is a different format to the account number they asked for last time and was sent via email.

    • CandyMan on 22/06/2015 - 10:04

      use the unique promo code

      may be a targeted offer

    • markspencer109 on 22/06/2015 - 10:06

      email I received is asking to forward below to friends for referral,

      Dear <your friend’s name here>,

      Like to come across to ME and get a $50 bonus? This is all you need to do:

      Open your first ever EveryDay Transaction Account with ME mebank.com.au/50+50
Quote my unique promo code *Mod: Removed referral code* in the promotion code field when you apply online
Make 3 purchases of at least $10 within 30 days of opening the account

      Do it by 24 June.^

      $50 will be credited to both our accounts within 30 days of you taking the simple steps above. Whoopee!

      All the best,

      • Scrooge McDuck on 22/06/2015 - 11:04

        When did you receive this email?

      • [Deactivated] on 22/06/2015 - 15:07

        Is the promotional code in a particular format - can you see the letters in the code as part of your name/email, or the digits as part of your account number?

    • msmhw on 22/06/2015 - 10:07

      Yeah this what I am thinking.

      (2) a friend or family member uses your unique promo code to successfully open an ETA in accordance with the “New applicants” conditions above.

      Also I think they are playing dirty

      You’re not eligible for the $50 bonus if all the conditions above aren’t met, including if the referrer and new applicant aren’t known to each other (such as when the referral is made via an online forum) or if the new applicant can’t open an account in time due to technical issues or any other delays.

      We are ozbargain, we are a family :P

        Yes We Are!

        Technically : We are known to each other via Ozbargain!

        Suck it up ME Bank!

        know

        verb

        \1. be aware of through observation, inquiry, or information.

        • have knowledge or information concerning.

        • be absolutely certain or sure about something.

        \2. have developed a relationship with (someone) through meeting and spending time with them; be familiar or friendly with.

        • have a good command of (a subject or language).

        • recognize (someone or something).

        • be familiar or acquainted with (something).

        • have personal experience of (an emotion or situation).

        • regard or perceive as having a specified characteristic.

        • give (someone or something) a particular name or title.

        • be able to distinguish one person or thing from (another).

        \3. have sexual intercourse with (someone).

        The definition of "known" is quite broad. I could honestly say that I know virtually everyone here…

      Actually based on this it might be better not to put the unique codes in wiki page as ME bank might ban them

  • wildstone on 22/06/2015 - 10:12

    So this time around you need an email to become a referral?

  • FiDad on 22/06/2015 - 10:17

    Just received this email but can't update the wiki page with my promo code. Will keep on trying till I get in, till then PM me if you need my unique promo code

  • HardQuiz on 22/06/2015 - 10:28

    After we ozbargained the $100 promo they are banning online/fourm referrals.

    • Rodo on 22/06/2015 - 10:33

      How can they prove that someone did not sign up via a referral from an online forum? Seems impossible to me.

      • msmhw on 22/06/2015 - 10:40

        They have rep here, so I think they are keeping an eye in ozb.

          I can hear Scott typing away on the keyboard copying and pasting all the account numbers from the wiki to an exclusion list so they can deny paying the $50 :)

          Hi Scott. We clearly have many questions left unanswered both here and in the previous promotion thread. How come the silence when you're here so often?

        • bonz on 23/06/2015 - 12:25

          @waterlogged turnip: because it's an operational matter

    I'm already with ME Bank but didn't receive any email from them :( What's the dealio there..

    Also wondering how they can offer this when they haven't even completed their recent $100 referral offer. No one has received their $100 yet, correct? We've all been left in limbo..

    and here they do making another offer. Can they even handle it :/

    • Appleboat on 22/06/2015 - 22:30
      +5

      I called them today and they said my referrer needs to also do the 3 x $10 transactions AND call them to qualify for the $100 deal. I'm sure they have retrospectively changed the offer on this and as we have all held up our side of the bargain and opened the account - many with emails to prove it - anyone with more spare time than me could start an action/petition for an action for misleading and deceptive conduct or simialr on this. Might be more effective than simply cancelling the account. As far as I'm concerned n o one did any more on our side than meet the conditions of their offer.

      • Appleboat on 12/07/2015 - 21:44

        Hi all, I checked my account and now have my $100. I will keep my account open with MEBank as they came through in the end.

  • bohn on 22/06/2015 - 10:57

    Haha. You gotta give them props for getting back on the horse at least… ;)

  • johnn on 22/06/2015 - 11:16

    Not sure why MEBank are being so picky with not allowing forum referrals? New members are new members. I hardly doubt people are opening up 2-3 accounts for themselves with no intention to use them.

    Plenty of people in the ozbargain community aren't using MEBank yet, so if this offer encourages them to open an account, is that not the goal of the promotion?

    Strange reasoning here, coming from a current MEBank account holder.

    • Scrooge McDuck on 22/06/2015 - 11:24

      I think it's the old "Oh look, something unexpected happened, it must be bad!" way of thinking.

        I got the same problem as well!

        Checked my email, got nothing from ME Bank.

      • dealsandstuff on 22/06/2015 - 12:39

        Same here… I started the application from the home screen and
        it still allows me to enter a promo code so hopefully it works!

  • thiphan1 on 22/06/2015 - 12:21

    Can anyone email me the promo code please? As we can't get the referral code on the forum. Thanks
    My email is thuphankd at gmail.com

  • hoxygt on 22/06/2015 - 12:24

    Still waiting on money from their last promo!!!

    As a referrer - how do you find your Code?

  • doperst on 22/06/2015 - 12:49
    +1

    I wouldn't bother.
    Last year I signed up using someone else's referral code, and then another person used my referral code.
    Should be $50+$50 bonus.
    But I never received this money.

    • CandyMan on 22/06/2015 - 17:41

      did you contact them?

      • doperst on 22/06/2015 - 18:23

        No. I don't remember which referral code I used and I don't know the name of a person who used mine.

  • Tal_Shiar on 22/06/2015 - 13:12

    ME are a horribly incompetent "bank", if you use Apple devices to access your accounts I'd advise to steer clear from these clowns, you probably won't be able to access your accounts and the call centre is of little help, $50 is nice, but you'll be made to work for it

    • doperst on 22/06/2015 - 13:21

      Yeah, their mobile app is a joke and the internet banking is from the last century.

  • TravelKon on 22/06/2015 - 14:09

    Where can we find our referrer code!?

    • FiDad on 22/06/2015 - 16:14

      I think it is targeted offer, got a email for my wife email but didn't for my account. So i have been referring people using referral code from her account

  • gm3stevens on 22/06/2015 - 19:07
    +1

    Seems like the link OP provided has problem in creating the account. As dealsandstuff suggested, if we apply thro' MEB home page Everyday Transaction Account it got one more section:

    To apply for an EveryDay Transaction Account you must
    be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or an Australian resident for taxation purposes with an Australian residential address
    be at least 16 years old
    want the account for personal use
    not be a US citizen or US tax resident

    I don't know if the Everyday Transaction Account link enables you to get the $50 or not, but at least, it allows me to keep on going to complete the application.
    BTW, make sure you enter the promo code in Page 3.

  • full0085 on 22/06/2015 - 19:40

    Can anyone confirm that the referral code is just the ETA account number?

    • FiDad on 22/06/2015 - 20:36

      It's not. It actually a unique code emailed to some account holders

  • T-man on 22/06/2015 - 21:08

    don't bother with these promotions from MEBank, typically short promotion period, very limited referrals, not transparent.

    • Meconium on 23/06/2015 - 10:51
      +1

      You can say that again! Only two days' validity (22-24 June), plus you have to convince people to get a bank account, which is not easy because it's a lot of work. Then you have to instruct them to make three purchases of $10 or more using their new card. If your friends and family already have, or have had, ME Bank accounts, then you can't refer them.

      ING just said "here's a $250 voucher for every person you sign up" - way more of a motivation. Last time I tried to sign up four people to ME Bank, only two of them did the process correctly, resulting in our getting free monies.

      Way too much hard work for $50 IMO. Not going to bother with this again.

  • Super8Tab on 22/06/2015 - 22:45

  • Cheep Cheap on 23/06/2015 - 06:12

    Could someone email (caniaskyouaquestion at gmail) me a referral code?

      Just as an FYI, I had to call them and ask where the $50 was and they pushed it through. wooo free $50.
