Good grief! Who at ANZ comes up with these bizarre and ghastly promotions and offers? I bet these people are the first ones that DBS will fire when they take over.

lol yeah, personally im not enticed by these kind of lucky draw genre promo also

From what I heard from the promotor, the 80k requirement is for online applications. Roadshow one is much more relaxed :s13:

I find it innovative and novel. :s13: Timestamp is seems more neutral than DBS' spinning the wheel - you always have a suspicion that the thing is rigged.

Well, the timestamp is also their timestamp, not yours.

No singtel bill payment through their app or website will qualify for optimum $. What was the bill amount? The amount could be too low. For example if you pay $99, you get 90 cents. If that is the only transaction for the month, then again round down and you get 0 optimum $.

I did specify singtel mybill in my original post. I had that and CSO said does not qualify. And I know the rounding down of optimum card.

So how now, what to use to round up for optimum$?

Optimum$ now visible on website, redemption process still "offline"

I logged in to the ANZ website and I now see a tab for "Optimum$" next to Summary, and Account History.

It shows

Available Optimum$
Optimum$ to Expire date
and a Optimum$ summary - last statement, Optimum$ redeemed, Optimum$ earned, and Optimum$ adjusted

There are also 2 links to "Choose your cash rebate category" and a redeem button.

Unfortunately for now both those pages link to the old "offline" request pages. That is, they're not in any way tied to the account after a secure log-in. One has to put in name, NRIC, etc. details, increasing the amount of work, room for error, delay in processing, and general uncertainty. IMHO, this is a really poor part of the choosing category and Optimum$ redemption process from ANZ. But anyway.
