    As a Bopo deal its a good deal. But comparing BOPO to a debit or a CC, it's full of fees.

    Also see the previous discussions here:

    Reaction to Bopo is a bit mixed.

      Thanks Scotty for the link to more info about BEPO.
      (The last few comments at that link were classic - all very suspicious -
      looked like all "first day/one comment" users - all plugging bepo.
      They all made one comment in february and have never ever, made another comment or post.)

      Too many fees = despite the free card

  • Pigey on 23/06/2008 - 17:17

    Good for doing dodgy transactions online and not having a paper trail :P

    • Zubby on 23/06/2008 - 18:28

      I'm tempted to sign up a card with fake details, but due to work I think It'd be a bad idea. I cannot see anything in the three T&C PDF's about their legal right to check on your details/credit history.

      • Pigey on 23/06/2008 - 18:55

        I wouldn't imagine it would be too hard to sign up with fake details and have the card mailed to a PO Box.

        Not that I would condone that.

  • Orgazmo on 23/06/2008 - 18:11

    I signed up for the last deal and they never sent me the card itself even after I showed ID etc at the newsagency. Probably because I didnt load it up with funds! But I did still get my free music downloads (WOW!)

    Why is it that Bopo are always promoted by first time posters to ozbargain??

    Are they part of the company, or just they don't really know a good bargain and need educating

    • scotty on 23/06/2008 - 22:59

      Why is it that Bopo are always promoted by first time posters to ozbargain??

      Because if they have really been a regular at OzBargain and have seen all the great credit card deals that have been posted here, they won't be promoting Bepo?!

    • Zubby on 24/06/2008 - 09:35

      I'm relatively new here but I feel that if someone has a promo code for pretty much any site that reduces a cost or includes a bonus it constitutes as a bargain. Simple answer and I may be wrong but hey :)

      • neil on 24/06/2008 - 09:44

        I think you have to see the bigger picture. On the face of it a coupon that reduces the cost of something is great. But when that thing is overpriced to start with then its not a good deal. Bargain hunters would be looking for a credit card that rewards them, not one that ends up costing them money.

  • M27 on 23/06/2008 - 22:45

    too many hidden costs.

  • choksiankur on 24/06/2008 - 13:46

    A quick "google" found the following news..

    ANZ and Telstra among creditors of troubled Bill Express

    Monday, June 23, 2008
    By Peter Fish
    Sydney Morning Herald

    ABSTRACT: THE creditors are lining up at Bill Express, with the national electronic payment company facing debts of more than $180 million.

    ANZ bank, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone are the key creditors of the company, which has earned revenue of $1 billion a year from the business of electronic bill payment and providing call credit for pre-paid mobile phones.

    The debt woes of Bill Express come amid claims and counter-claims of suspect deals and related-party transactions at board level that resulted in cash allegedly being siphoned off into private companies and bank accounts not controlled by the listed company.

    ANZ has appointed a team led by Ben Steinberg to investigate the financial situation of Bill Express and its holding company, On Q. Both have been suspended …

    Trouble at Bill Express as if On Q

    Thursday, May 29, 2008

    Mark Hawthorne The Age (1071 words)

    ABSTRACT: THERE is a disturbing noise coming out of the Eaglemont offices of Bill Express, and it sounds an awful lot like the death rattle. Trouble is, it's keeping the bankers over at ANZ headquarters awake all night, in addition to the board of the embattled bill payment company.

    ANZ has fallen into a perfect storm of debt with Bill Express.

    On the one hand, it is the financier of On Q, the listed holding company that owns 37.7% of Bill Express.

    Times are tough for On Q, which has fully drawn down on two credit lines it has with ANZ - a $41 million commercial bill facility and a $6 million overdraft.

    Such is the mountain of debt that On Q has on its books that auditor Grant Sincock, of Moore Stephens, warned investors this month that he had "significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern".

    That was on May 12.

    Never fear, you might think - On Q has that massive holding in Bill Express, a company with $1 billion of annual revenue and a national network of electronic bill-payment machines.

    Except that in April, On Q refinanced 27.5 million of its Bill Express shares via a margin-lending facility.

    Its broker of choice? Opes Prime, of course.

    Those shares were repurchased at an average price of 7.22c each, almost double the last traded price of 4c.
