        • easternculture on 03/07/2014 - 14:54

  • rezok on 01/07/2014 - 18:31

    Given the offers available with the Black, wouldn't you sign up for that, given its fee free for the first year?

    • modsec802 on 01/07/2014 - 19:18

      If you've got the income and think you're likely to be approved for at least $15k

      • youknow on 01/07/2014 - 19:44

        and don't want to apply for other forms of credit in the next 7 months (which is how long it could take to get the 50,000FF points (ie. before you cancel - if you do)

  • excite on 01/07/2014 - 18:35

    just applied for the black card, and got "we are unable to give you a final answer to your credit card application immediately as we need to verify your income details", emailed them 2 pay slips, waiting now.

    • PCHammond on 01/07/2014 - 18:54

      I did the same. I was too lazy to find my pay slips though so I just sent a bank statement and a rent statement for my investment home.

      I guess when they see I have a mortgage (debt) they don't auto process it.

      • hamza23 on 01/07/2014 - 18:59
        +1

        Think it's more complicated than that, mine went through automatically with a mortgage. I'm sure it's many factors they consider, annoyingly they treat your card limits with other banks as debts, even if you owe $0 which can be a major factor in not getting automatically approved.

        • Malarkey on 01/07/2014 - 20:01
          +1

          I think it's called potential debt. If I was going to give you a line of credit I would want to know how bed your situation could possibly get before lending you money.

        • hamza23 on 01/07/2014 - 20:02

          Yeah that's a better word for it, basically look at the worst case scenario which is all those limits are maxed out.

        • PCHammond on 02/07/2014 - 14:11

          Funnily enough, my wife got insta approved for a pretty big credit limit, even though she earns less than me and the investment house and car is in my name. She has a higher total credit card limit than me too. And I have a stack of cash in the bank

          I have no idea how the financial mumbo jumbo works.

    • aec on 01/07/2014 - 21:45

      i am still waiting or the results of my application for citi signature. they finally contacted my company accountant to verify my income and employment status.

      so some people do get approved immediately without any verification? i somehow read on that post of cici's that someone got approved in a couple of hours after he submitted the application. is that true or possible?

      btw, i have the westpac black card.

  • Sshanaz on 01/07/2014 - 18:51

    Got approved for 6k - thanks

  • youknow on 01/07/2014 - 19:19

    Weird, I signed up, and it's asked for income validation (which is easy, I've sent necessary information), but never had a problem with credit applications before. Anyway, thanks OP, great deal. "Money" for nothing really.

  • countmein on 01/07/2014 - 19:39

    Help me understand below statement:

    and utility bills paid in person at a bank or Australia Post or any bills paid using the Card in conjunction with the BPAY scheme (if the billing merchant does not accept credit card payment using the BPAY scheme).

    is any of my internet, phone and private insurance bill considered as Cash Equivalent Transaction?
    I used to pay them via direct debit and BPAY (to avoid CC fee).

    Regarding the Black card, does it have Complimentary Overseas Travel and Medical Insurance as Platinum's?
    and, 2 Complimentary Qantas Club Lounge, I assume that I have to be a member of Qantas Club?

    • deeevan on 01/07/2014 - 20:04

      2 Complimentary Qantas Club Lounge is 2 one-off passes to get into the lounge. You don't need to be a member.

  • Obs on 01/07/2014 - 20:14

    This is the response I got:

    "We are unable to give you a final answer to your Credit Card application at this time, as further processing is required."

    I didn't get ask for any further income evidence or any other paper work. I guess all the other unused debt in CC I have applied for but still haven't cancelled is weighing me down. EG HSBC (for the bonus 30K points), Citibank Signature (free for life) etc etc.

    • Webbo on 01/07/2014 - 20:32

      Think I'm in the same boat. Snapping up all the credit card deals eg. citi signature. Got the same answer to my application. Hopefully no need to send documents as it is a real hassle collecting everything( eg. investment income).

    So, could you apply, spend $1500, pay in full (avoid interest), get your qff points (up to 4 months), then close the card =
    50,000 qff points (+1500 qff spend), &
    (pending black)
    2 complimentary qclub lounge visits and access to some international lounges

    • modsec802 on 01/07/2014 - 21:12

      Only 2 free passes per year (on request)
      They waive Qantas Club joining fee - usually about $400 but you still need to pay annual fee of about $450 per year. You can often get joining fee waived anyway on special.

    Hi All,
    Long time viewer first time poster. I am confused on which one to book. We are planning to go to USA in QFF in Sep/Oct this year and would be good if we can use the lounge.
    Could you please let me know which card you guys recommend the black or the standard frequent flyer ? I would like to know the advantages of both the cards ? Once I get the 50,000 points and then ramp up to get the 70000 points to earn a silver status I would like to close the credit card as I do not want to get charged annually.

    Hoping to get some help in deciding between the two cards …

    thanks a lot poster !!

    • modsec802 on 01/07/2014 - 21:50

      None of these don't entitle you to USA lounges.
      The black has two single qantas club passes.
      Silver status is determined by status credits (flights) not points so you can 70,000 points and still be bronze.

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 01/07/2014 - 23:51

        Im bronze and am now about to crack 300,000 points

      • justanick on 02/07/2014 - 01:38

        ok guys so which one to pick Black one or the Frequent flyer one ?
        So that I am right can someone comment on the below if I chose the black card ?

        1) I could spend $1500 in two months and get 50,000 QF points
        2) To avoid the annual fees I can just close the account in 4-5 months after getting 50,000 points
        3) Get two lounge visits which might be useful in LA (USA) in October ?
        4) What can I do with the 50,000 points
        5) do I get a free lifetime QF membership card ?

        • Coley on 02/07/2014 - 09:21
          +1

          1) Yes
          2) You can close the account anytime after your points post and before your 1 year renewal date.
          3) You get two Qantas Club lounge visits on the Black Card only. You can only use them at Domestic Qantas Club lounges or International Business Lounges run by Qantas. Your best bet if you going to the USA and want lounge access is to get a 1 month American Airlines Admirals Club membership for $99. This allows you to enter all Qantas Club/International Business lounges in Australia and all Qantas/AA lounges in the USA, as well as take a partner in with you. This is best if your flying around the USA a bit, but if your only going to use it once, the 2 passes for free may be more suited.
          4) Gift Cards, appliances etc (Worst Value), Free flights (Ok Value), upgrade to business class (best Value).
          5) The deal provides you with free membership however this can be obtained for free through many links floating around, including woolworths everyday rewards.

    Hm, I got rejected for the black card whilst listing my income as $80k and no expenses and standard answers that shouldn't trigger any alarms. Odd. Maybe it's because I've applied for like 5 credit cards over the last few years due to ozbargain (all of which got approved anyway). I did put "non disclosed" as my employer, though.

  • Bab on 02/07/2014 - 10:29

    I got mixed up and applied for Black rewards card and got approved. Then realised it should be qantas because of very low transfer rate of anz points to airline partners 3:1. Called them after 5 mins of approval. They advised me they can't swap the cards and I'll have to apply again. I tried to justify that if the other card is also approved anz would be a loser considering the promotion. Anyhow, applied again and risked another credit check and this time the application referred.

    • fishybone on 02/07/2014 - 13:08

      I applied for the Platinum in haste and didn't realise the offer was also valid for Black. I got approved immediately for the Platinum but they had to refer my Black application. Got a called today and my Black has now also been approved.

    Another noob question,

    say i apply for the black card (meet the income criteria) but i fall short in the credit limit (due to having a number of other cards/loans) will it revert my application to something lower like the plat or frequent flyer?

    Primarily after the points, but the other perks of the black are attractive, so unsure whether to apply for the basic card with a low limit or the black.

      Worth about $900 at today's interest rates - less taxes, of course.

  • lovepub on 02/07/2014 - 14:22

  • iversonjack on 02/07/2014 - 14:24

    i applied for basic frequent flyer card, selected maximum credit available to me… got $15,000 credit limit and approved… is this going to negatively affect me down the track? could i call them ask for a black card instead…?

    • fishybone on 02/07/2014 - 14:57

      They can't transfer approved applications, but if you apply for another card, they could reallocate credit limit from your approved basic card to say a Platinum or to a Black. As you've opted for the maximum available credit limit, I doubt you'll get the Black approved. You stand a decent chance of getting the Platinum though (which has most of the perks of the Black).

      • iversonjack on 02/07/2014 - 14:59

        thanks, would this $15,000 affect me down the track some way or another, whether it be negative or positive?

        • fishybone on 02/07/2014 - 21:04

          Yes it may impair your ability to secure credit (or at least the amount of credit) in the near future. I would suggest canceling unused card(s) or consider reducing the limit if you intend on getting a home loan.

  • No on 02/07/2014 - 14:53

    I used to do all my banking with ANZ but left because the fee's aren't competitive. Apart from the fee's they are probably the best bank I have used.

    Does anyone with an existing ANZ credit card know if they will waive the annual fee from year 2 if you ring up to cancel?

    Thanks

    • Charlie-B on 02/07/2014 - 14:58

      It's happened to me. Rang up to cancel, told them I never use it and person on the phone asked me to hold. A minute later, came back and said he's supervisor approved for 3 additional years for free without me even asking.

      • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 02/07/2014 - 15:30

        hmmm… think it'd be hard to call them and up the limit of my application, changing it to black?

      • No on 02/07/2014 - 20:35

        I signed up for the platinum rather than the black hoping it will be easier for them to waive the annual fee in year 2. 1.5 points per $ on the amex is well worth keeping in my wallet.

  • cooni on 02/07/2014 - 15:03

    Thanks, was just approved for the black card.
    Online told me last night they will call me and they just did.
    The two things that raised flags were $0 monthly mortgage repayment (my offset account is full until my investment property settles) and $0 balance on existing credit cards.
    After the lady was satisfied with those responses she approved me and I'll have the cards soon.

    Thanks OP!

        Also, reading the conditions, you only need to spend $250 on flights, travel or accommodation pertaining to your trip to be eligible for the complimentary International travel insurance. So if you've recently picked up a bargain flight with a different card, pay for accommodation, transfers or tours and you get free insurance.
