    Is this as easy as AfterPay, and does it require a credit check?

    • abc on 28/11/2020 - 21:40

      Yes there is credit check. More like how a traditional cc works rather than like afterpay.

    • dealsforlife on 28/11/2020 - 21:41

      I used to be with zip and I think it's better than Afterpay. Just $6 a month, 6-12 months interest free on some purchases. It's very easy but also very tempting… And yes there's a credit check.

      • garygaz on 29/11/2020 - 01:19

        I prefer $0 per month. Each and to their own I suppose. Credit check and monthly fees make zip something I will never use.

          If you pay your balance there’s no fee. Same as any credit card.

          • arcticmonkey on 29/11/2020 - 13:28

            @ATangk: With a credit card, you can get hundreds of dollars back in points etc to offset the credit check.

            With this, you get a measly $15 from what I can see.

            I'm not sure why someone would put themselves through a credit check for a paltry $15.

          Garygaz.
          Afterpay you have to pay every 2week and if you miss a payment it $10, Zip you don't have to pay if no outstanding balance e/month and there only a fee $6 if you don't pay it.
          Do some research.

        Pretty sure the fee depends on your account limit. I signed up yesterday, my limit is $500, and I wasn't charged an establishment fee.

        • tanastra on 28/11/2020 - 22:42

          You might be right , I got approved for $2000 , but why still the fees ?? After pay it's so friendlg with the free money like teer3x said .

            +7

            @tanastra: Because you applied for a Zip Money account. Which incurs a $25 setup fee and a credit check. That one is like a credit card.

            The normal Zip Pay account has no setup fee. But there's a $6 per month account keeping fee if there's an outstanding balance. And a $1000 account limit.

        • bghunter on 28/11/2020 - 22:42
          +2

          I signed up an hour ago, instant approval, $1000 limit and no fees

            +1

            @bghunter: You have the Zip Pay account which has a $1000 account limit. However it does have a fee a $6 monthly account keeping fee if there's an outstanding balance. But at $0 balance there's no fee charged.

            The other next level account option is Zip Money with a $2000 account limit. But there's a $25 setup fee. That one works more like a credit card in the fact it requires a credit check just to open it.

    • lastkey on 28/11/2020 - 23:25

      I had applied for a traditional credit card and evaluator told me Zip Pay is considered a negative sign. More like another liability. So advised not to use it especially if you are planning to apply for home loan. She said Afterpay is not considered a liability. Not debating pros or cons, just sharing an experience.

    • jjj123 on 19/12/2020 - 16:17

      Oh, no! You weren't eligible for a Zip account!
      Although we'd love to, we can't offer a Zip account at this time.

      Still want to try Zip in the future?
      Don't worry! You can apply again in six months

      No problems at all with after pay , they always sent me text reminding me of paymeny due next day. Used after pay with ebay more than 5 purchases already with $0 fees or penalty.

      • eggaz on 28/11/2020 - 22:41
        +4

        It's in their best interest to let you know the payment is due, they hold the debt so if you don't pay its their bottom line, they don't want to profit off late payment fees, they make plenty of $ on merchant fees.

        Afterpay is appealing as it has not monthly fees, where Zip hold you to a $6 fee if you have a balance after the billing period.

    • krisspy on 29/11/2020 - 01:23

    One thing I am not sure about is that the sign up link on https://zip.co/promotion/activate-15 just takes you to https://zip.co/create-an-account to create the account (which is the general sign up link)

    So how do they track whether you signed up via https://zip.co/promotion/activate-15 or not, since no code is needed to be entered?

    Or potentially everyone who has signed up since the 23rd Nov as a new customer is eligible?

    • kyle on 28/11/2020 - 21:53

      Here's hoping. I'm waiting for Amazon to debit the zip account.

      • kyle on 22/12/2020 - 05:18

    • lml on 28/11/2020 - 21:56

      There should be a tracking token within the link. It may be hidden but they very much exist. Similar to cashback sites when they redirect you to an external website.

    • easylife on 29/11/2020 - 02:58

      I signed up via referral link and will ask them about the activate deal, i was assuming that all new customers between the period that signs up with either zip money or zip pay accounts are eligible.

      • easylife on 29/11/2020 - 03:28

        The terms and conditions are confusing.

        No promo code is required to claim the offer. Should any eligible transaction be refunded the applicable credit back will be adjusted in accordance with your refund.

        Apply for a Zip Pay or Zip Money Account for the first time (“Zip Account”) via the link https://zip.co/promotion/activate-15 and be approved for the Zip Account in accordance with our approval criteria (“New Customer”)

        So do we need to signup with the promotion link? Then that would make referral 10$ not eligible.

        I sent a ticket regarding this matter.

        • cjchristopher on 08/12/2020 - 14:05

          Did you by chance get a reply yet? I used a referral code as well not realising I wouldn't receive both.
          I have received the $10 from the referral code, but not the $15 on this promotion - so perhaps it was one or the other - would have been nice for Zip to clarify!

      You need to pay the balance by the end of the following calendar month, so if you buy in November you need to pay by the end of December to avoid the fees.

            @ATangk: $6/month waived if you have no balance. <— straight from zip home page.

              +2

              @cloudy: Couldn’t even read the first item in the FAQ? You have a months grace period.

              Your Zip Pay account has a monthly account keeping fee of $6. However, this is only charged when you have an outstanding balance at the end of the month.

              You'll receive a statement with the closing balance of the month on the 1st day of the following month. You have until the end of the month to pay off your balance for the account to remain fee-free.

              For Example: If you make two purchases in February, you'll receive a statement on the 1st of March showing how much you owe for these two purchases. You'll then have until March 31st to pay this amount without being charged the $6 account keeping fee. If you do not pay the statement balance in full by the 31st of March, a $6 monthly account service fee will be charged on the account on the 1st of April.

              • cloudy on 29/11/2020 - 09:08
                -1

                @ATangk: So what happens if you purchase in March? You can pay your feb purchases but still have a outstanding balance because of March purchases. Thus, first line will apply. “ charged when you have an outstanding balance at the end of the month.”

      That's what I wanna know.

      I bought a $50 Amazon Gift Card using the Amazon App and my new Zip Account, I got the $5 back virtually straight away, will I still get the $15 for signing up to Zip within 14 days and spending $50 (essentially making the cost of the gift card $30)?

      The weird thing is, I received a statement from Zip that my next payment of $20.00 is due in 4 days (Dec 3rd). After the $5.00 showed up from the Amazon 10% off promo, it now shows I spent $45.00.

      I can see why others are confused with the way Zip Pay works.

      I guess i'll wait out the 14 days then pay off whatever balance there is in full to avoid the $6 fee and any other fees there may be.

    • dorikin on 09/12/2020 - 14:33

      you won't get charged if you paid off the balance in full. you have until the following month to pay it off and if you have $0 balance, the fee will be waived

      • techlead on 09/12/2020 - 18:08

        I see, so as long as I pay the statement off in full, I wouldn't be charged the $6 fee.

        That's not very clear on the website. If I'm using the account every month, my balance will never be $0 even if I pay it off in full.

    So im hoping i still was active in the link, do you get any notification that you took part in this or just have to wait once you use it and see if you get the $15 back.
    And did it take 14 days or instant.

    Haven't gotten my credit back despite making my first transaction on Amazon to take advantage of that 10% back. Issue was that the purchases were billed separately despite purchased together since they ship separately, making two separate transactions of ~$10 and ~$100, in that order.

    CSR said I did not qualify based on their interpretation of

    complete your first transaction of $50 AUD or more within the Offer Period

    to be "your first transaction has to be >=$50", instead of "make at least one transaction of >=$50 before offer period ends", but escalated it to accounts team to see what they think. Shitty since I made the purchase together and it wasn't my choice how Amazon bills it.

    First time using zip to take advantage of the $15 cashback, bought myself a 1650 from Mwave

    https://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1650-d…

    Does anyone know paying off your zip balance using Credit Card will be cash advance?

    Thanks.
