Hey all, I now have a Visa debit card (thanks to ING), and with all of these tiger deals, I'd like to be able to buy flights without the "convenience fee". But, being the cheapskate that I am, I don't want to pay for the mastercard debit (hey, I've got a free visa debit ;P). So, does anyone know of anyone who does a free mastercard debit?
Mastercard Debit Card?

ING is VISA can't use on Tiger as they required MASTERcard.
ahh, yeh, didn't phrase it so well. I'm wondering if any of the banks offer a free mastercard debit card, like how ING offer a free visa debit card.
Commonwealth Mastercard debit is free if you deposit $2000 a month. I think the promo run till end of this month.
I too would like to know if there's a free or cheap MC debit card. Depositing $2000/month is not a cheap price. You're foregoing a fair bit of interest, and also you really should be putting some of that into super. Unless most of it goes out again immediately as mortgage repayments.
********* great tip - THANKS
I have a CommSec account to. No catches at all. Amazing for the Comm Bank!
my commonwealth debit mastercard is free :) (student)
Bankwest offers a free Debit Mastercard with a few of their transaction accounts, some of which are fee-free but (from what I can see) have certain conditions (e.g. minimum deposit per month like your salary).

As I don't know your situation, you'll have to look their their accounts to see which, if any, suit you.
Being a cheapskate open up a Woolworths Everyday Money Credit Card http://www.financecomparison.com.au/credit-card-woolworths-e…
Then close it before the end of the year.
This will even give you $50
What is your question?
So ING charges you for using your debit card?
