    What the? This was a Bankwest deal a few minutes ago.

      So sorry. I was suppose to submit 2 deals but instead I mistakenly edited this one instead of subitting a new one. I have corrected my mistake.

  • Evil-Elmo on 03/09/2008 - 16:34

    Edit: Was a message to the webjet offer.

    On the face of it, it looks like a good deal but in fact it works out to be almost the same as having a regular Saver account of around 7-8%.

    $10000 invested in Telenet Account at 8.5%(first 3 months), 7.9% (next 9 months) = 10835.37 after 12 months

    $10000 invested in at $500 increments in Regular Saver, with the remainder staying in Telenet = 10905.72 after 12 months

    $70.35 difference or .7%. I guess it's up to you to say if .7% is worth it to you.

    neil, you're not comparing apples to apples. if you normally put $500/month into a telnet account, then this deal is more beneficial (assuming you do not need to make a withdrawal.

    • neil on 03/09/2008 - 18:52

      Hmmm..Yeah I guess you are right. I was thinking about it the other way round.

    • John on 03/09/2008 - 19:09

      yeah neil, apple and orange are not the same! :)

      In regards to the deal, I think it helps some people (like me) save up because you can't do withdrawal on it. Whereas in Telenet it's harder to restrict yourself.

    Great rate! However, I read that the maximum initial sum is $500 so it does limit the interest somewhat. (correct me if I'm wrong)

    I tried to do the MoneyBackCo link but it just directs me to bankwest tddirect which is not 10% (and term deposit too). A search on MoneyBackCo doesn't show any link for this offer too. Anyone know when it might be put up, if ever?

    • neil on 03/09/2008 - 19:59

      It's $500 (month 1)
      +$500 x 11 months

      so max $6000/yr, or 6335.13 with interest.

  • twig on 03/09/2008 - 20:40

    hmm the $500 limit is the big limiting factor here

    good deal if you're only saving around $500 a month though

    but i'd rather go with another savings account because theres no limit.

  • Crownie on 04/09/2008 - 02:43

    Not worth a negative.

    If you had $500 it would be better to have it in this 10% account than any other.
    My balance in this account is very low but that's not what its designed for. It gets you to save a set amount each month. For some, $500 is quite a bit to save.
    I received more interest this month in my TeleNet Saver than an entire year with this account will give me. My balance in TeleNet is much, much, much bigger though.

    The offer is now down to 9% p.a. following the latest interest cut.
