MINI

Open an Account with IMB by 30 June 2017 and receive $50 by 5 July 2017. Make sure you enter the code MINI in the promotional code box to get your cash bonus.

No deposit or other requirements, just open up the account. The Everyday Account (not the Everyday Unlimited Account) is monthly account keeping fee free if you select a IMB Cash Card and not the VISA card, so there should be no cost to participate.

Ensure you enter the MINI promotion code after your application is submitted.

EDIT: The terms and conditions have been updated this morning as follows:

"This offer is available for individuals who entered our Win a Mini competition and who are new members who open an IMB transaction account online and enter the promotional code "MINI" by 30 June 2017."

      Yeah, I'd think that there'd have to be something that prevents people from doing that.
      
      Then again, you never know, if a company just wants press and publicity then giving away free money is always a fair bet, however, considering that this particular company happens to be a financial institution, I'd think that giving away money might not necessarily speak to their financial expertise.

      @subywagon: I work as a network engineer and the site is showing no resource overload as far as I can tell anywhere — For this reason me and some others are giving suggestions for other things that would effect it.
      
      It's very possible that you are right and I am wrong, but a few things to take into account.. 1) OZB really isn't that much traffic.. only the super-under prepared people on hosts that were already pretty bad get hit by OZB (reddit is of course a different story) and 2) It definitely feels like the 'backend' has paused ur details to stop extra server load by you retrying over and over, so lets say you accidentally failed the first time for.. whatever reason, now, no matter how good your info is; the system will not let you try again for 'xx' hours,
      
      Usually sites that do the latter TELL YOU that you should try again in 2hrs or whatever time is set.
      
      ** TL;DR Do what it says, try again later, See link below. Sadly I only have possible explanations in the form of walls of text and not solutions buddy.

      .. I would try and tell you to give it a shot after midnight.. but there-in lays the problem with servers(etc) - I don't know when their API service regards it as midnight to roll-over.
      Though, I do know whoever is doing it for them, will have emailed the head of IT by now, warning them.. I'm also going to guess IT isn't 24/7 at IMB… so, I guess write out some random times, throw a few darts and you've got yourself an answer on when to check again.
