Westpac give em' HELL!

[partypooper]

I'm feeling really naughty tonight, so just wanna vent my feelings about Westpac Bank treating CC deposits to a so called gambling site (eg Sportsbet etc) as a CASH advance,..... this is absolutely discraceful, most banks treat it as a purchase (which is of course in our favour) they (the Bank) still receive a commision (presumably) from the trader so why hit US again???? if you are with Westpac write to them as I have done and express your dissatisfaction, the more of us that do so the better the chance of a u-turn!

If they will not relent then cancel your card and TELL THEM WHY

Partypooper,

It's not right, but here's why they do it...

No matter what your personal wealth or payment history might be, they flag gamblers as a risk. Therefore they are trying to reclaim from all gamblers,the money that the bankrupt gamblers lose.

It's like a higher insurance premium for living in a high burglary area.

Oh and also...
