A reminder of these awesome deal and deal from almost a year ago, when CBA announced that they would drop ATM fees and the other big banks quickly followed suit.

There is no need to go around hunting your particular bank's ATM when you can find any of the big four banks'. This has been very convenient since.

Edit: I understand that a part of our community are with ING, who already get free ATM withdrawals from any ATM, and therefore this deal is not applicable to them. This deal appeals to those who do not have an ING bank account (or other banks with fee-free ATM withdrawals), cannot easily fulfill the monthly conditions (ie. $1000 monthly deposit and 5 x transactions) or financially better to bank with someone else due to mortgages etc. They don't have to do anything and immediately have access to a wider range of ATMs for free. While this deal does not benefit those who have ING as their main bank, it does not mean that this is not a deal.

      These banks, I think so. I got caught out just recently using one of the minor bank/cred unions. Got hit for $2.50 for a $20 withdrawal, lol. It's why I upvoted this deal - a reminder not all banking atm's are fee free.

  • AussieDaddy on 18/07/2018 - 18:49

    What's with the sudden negs? Some people weren't aware of this the first time it was posted, and others forgot about it, so what's wrong if it reminds everyone about the deal? And mods don't seem to mind it. Looks like everyone is jumping on the negging wagon for the heck of it. Jeez!

    [DEAL ALERT] Free shopping trolley usage at Coles/Woolworths stores across Australia

    A timely reminder to this awesome ongoing facility which has now become even more of a genuine 'deal' given the recent crackdown on single-use plastic bags by the supermarket chains. While they don't give you free shopping bags anymore, the trolley is still free to use.
    (Note: ALDI uses the coin system which is sort of an extra hassle so I've excluded it from the post. Advance apologies all ALDI lovers).

    How to avail:
    All you need to do is to put the items right back in the trolley after scanning and paying for them and take all your shopping directly to your car using this awesome ongoing deal. After this you can empty the trolly items either:
    1. Directly into the boot space
    2. Into the free shopping bags you got from this deal and/or this deal
    3. Into your spare household laundry basket kept in your boot (this is my preferred and recommended eco-friendly way)

    After this all you need to do is to put the trolley back into nearest trolley bay and then someone will collect it from there (keeps them employed and keeps you happy i.e. a win-win).

    There is no need to go around hunting your particular store's shopping bay (i.e. in case of ALDI etc.) or waste your hard earned money on shopping bags, when you can find any of the big two superstore's trolley bays located across the parking areas. This has been very convenient ongoing facility.

    P.S. This is genuine deal reminder post and is no way a spoof comment inspired from this popular deal. In my humble opinion it deserves well over 100+ likes. Please show your love for all my efforts in bringing this to your attention ladies and gentlemen!

    Can you use the Cardless Cash option for non CBA ATMs?

    • J4ckal on 18/07/2018 - 23:09

      A legitimate question in a sea of negs. Sorry I can't help you but I'm curious of the answer too.

    • illumination on 19/07/2018 - 11:53

      Cardless Cash, AFAIK, is a feature specific to Commonwealth Bank accounts that only works with Commonwealth Bank ATMs.

      That means:

      • Commonwealth Bank account trying to using Cardless Cash from non-CBA ATM - no go
      • Non-Commonwealth Bank account trying to use Cardless Cash from CBA ATM - no go
      • Non-Commonwealth Bank account trying to use Cardless Cash from non-CBA ATM - no go
      • Commonwealth Bank account trying to using Cardless Cash from CBA ATM - go
  • Roger Ramjet on 19/07/2018 - 01:14

    I remember this coming out shortly after the changes to excess fees being charged for transactions, like the coffee shop charging you 50c for using eftpos.
    I somewhat suspected that their lawyers told them that these fees were in breach of this new law so pulled the fees and sold it as customer service.
    I’d be interested to see someone take this to those generic ATM providers who charge $2.50 a transaction.

      Nobody knew, until it was widely reported in every form of media, when suddenly everybody (excepting you) knew. And that was a year or so ago. Maybe there should be a separate section in OzBargain for people who live under rocks and like to be told about free things that are already free?

          By that logic everything should be reposted every few weeks ad infinitum because at any point in time there will always be someone who chooses to remain ignorant and refuses to stay informed.

          That is why there is a 6 month rule on re-posts. To stop duplicates, but allow people to know about the deal in the future, new users may join within that 6 month period.

          @1-Bargain:

          I'd be happy to see this deal in 6 months time, as it saves me money I otherwise would have spent on those overpriced ATM's in pubs and clubs to get cash out if I wasn't using my Macquarie card at the time.

          It saves people money, and as per the guidelines, can be posted after 6 months if someone wants to do it.

          This deal went from genuine information sharing, to a place where people negged for fun. And it was sad to see, the bad side of OzB.

          As an example, this deal has been running for >3 years at the same value and still is popular. I guess it's not worth posting because everyone must already know about it, right?

          A lot of us don’t want to see that sort information posted as deals again and again every 6 months, and that’s what’s the neg votes are about.
          Some deals are posted once is enough. Such as this one.

          If the deal poster thinks it's a bargain, they're welcome to post it?

          Understandable that people might not want to see deals like this posted again. I was more eluding to the fact that >50% of the neg votes were invalid (E.G Only saying "Not a deal", "No deal", "What is this?") and thought this was fine to do.

          It's not a fun time as a deal poster getting negged that hard, and seeing people invalidly negging that much was sad to see.

          Sure, if the negs have actual reasons then it's fine, but it just fired me up a bit that nobody even wanted to substantiate their reasons are per the guidelines.

      RediATMs have always been fee free to customers of NAB, though I think that may be changing (if it hasn't already), since anywhere you'll find a RediATM, you'll also find an ATM of one of the big four.

    ATM's are fee free ever day of the week, and have been for a long time. Therefore, I don't understand what the deal is. Could someone please explain how paying no fees is any better than paying no fees? And apparently I'm not allowed to down-vote this non-deal/non-bargain, so assume OzBargain has gone to the dogs and is no longer in any way related to bargains. Weird.
