Was just visiting Chadstone and I found this advertised all over the centre:
* Open a new HSBC Day to Day account with a deposit of new-to-bank funds of $500, or
* Be approved for a new Credit Card, or
* Be approved for a Home Loan
at the HSBC Chadstone branch before 5 May 2013, and you will receive a $50 Chadstone gift voucher to spend on anything at the centre.
Note: If you're an existing HSBC customer, churning funds from other HSBC accounts or refinancing existing HSBC loans will not qualify you for the $50 gift voucher.
Easy way around the new-to-bank funds rule is:
1. Walk outside
2. Withdraw $500 from the ATM
3. Walk back inside
4. Deposit the $500 you just withdrew
Try not to get robbed in the meantime (shouldn't be too hard as this is Chadstone, not Knifepoint)
Do you get the giftcard on the spot or is it posted to you later?
