You get cash back! You get cash back! You get cash back!

Just like the infamous Oprah episode where she gave away a brand new Pontiac G6 car to everyone in the audience, right now there is a cash splurge going on when it comes to home loans. Up to four lenders are offering $2k cash back to refinance to them and five lenders are offering $2k cash back for new purchases.

Without a doubt, there is a smorgasbord of offers available from banks at the moment for the willing buyer and refinancer. The maximum cash back offer available is $3500 for loan sizes above $700k with one particular lender.

For those who have a soft spot for Frequent Flyer points, two other lenders are offering hundreds of thousands of Qantas points or Velocity Frequent Flyer points if you place your loan with them. A current campaign offers 300k additional bonus Velocity Points for settled loans, on top of the standard points already on offer.

And for those who prefer the sharpest possible interest rate, a number of lenders are offering either variable or fixed rates in the 2% range.

What is your fancy? Take them up while you can. Many of the cash back offers have a cut off for applications to be lodged by late December or early to mid January.
