        may i know which cards you have applied for?

        • MelbBargainChaser77 on 16/08/2014 - 17:57

          I applied for the standard and the black

        • cocomelon on 16/08/2014 - 21:10

          Same here, got the 50k in platinum, nothing yet in black.

  • jasonlka on 16/08/2014 - 19:39

    When is the 50k meant to be sent to our nominated QFF account?
    I have still yet to receive my 50k but received about 1k for regular spending.

    • bluedufflecoat on 18/08/2014 - 07:32
      1. After you spend $1500
      2. Your next bill cycle.

      Otherwise, I think the official ANZ answer is 3 months after you spend $1500.

      • jasonlka on 18/08/2014 - 09:39

        Ah..thank you very much

  • iversonjack on 17/08/2014 - 00:12

    does anyone know if i only spent $500 and already received 50,000 points in my QFF account… do i still need to continue spending till $1500 within first 3 months? do they have the power to reverse the points if i didn't spend $1500..?

  • meowmeowmeow on 18/08/2014 - 12:57

    I spent $1500 in the first month and still don't have the points, and it's been 2 months now. Some people are just lucky i guess, doesn't seem to be any kind of method or process as to why some people have the points and some don't…

    • bluedufflecoat on 18/08/2014 - 15:49

      Does your account say how many points have been earned?

      Before they transferred the points to my account (on Saturday), when I reached the $1500 spend, it showed the bonus 50,000 points earned when I checked online.

      Also, was yours Black? Mine was just the standard FF CC account.

      • meowmeowmeow on 18/08/2014 - 15:51

        Yep i can see the normal points i have earned, but no bonus as yet and i've spent almost $2,000. I got the black card.

        • Shibuya on 18/08/2014 - 16:24

          Same here, spent over $1.5K on the AMEX and nearly $1.5K on the VISA and still no bonus points showing.

        • bluedufflecoat on 18/08/2014 - 16:43

          Maybe it's worth ringing up and asking to confirm if you were signed up for the promotion?

        • ShopMore on 18/08/2014 - 16:49

          me too, i spent more than $4,000 for the past 2 months but still haven't sighted the 50k points.

        • jasonlka on 18/08/2014 - 19:07

          Yea same here. just the regular points, not the bonus points

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 18/08/2014 - 21:55

          That is the ANZ awards 50,000 points is for first purchase.

    WHY THE HELL MUST I GO TO BRANCH? JUST ACTIVATE THE DAMN CARD ON THE PHONE!! YOU ARE THE ONLY BANK THAT NEEDS TO ACTIVATE AT THE BRANCH!

    AND STOP NEGGING ME! I AM JUST TRYING TO VOICE OUT MY FRUSTRATIONS AND WILL TAKE ANZ TO ASIC COMPLAINT.

    • modsec802 on 18/08/2014 - 14:24

      I recently got nAB 20k and had to activate at branch.

    • meowmeowmeow on 18/08/2014 - 14:34

      It's the law, they have to check your ID and verify who you are for AML/CTF requirements.

      • lolmao on 18/08/2014 - 23:36

        they could verify it online like all the other banks. i was totally pissed off when i had to goto a branch the first time i opened an anz account too.

  • Webbo on 19/08/2014 - 10:13

    Anyone received the 50k on the black card yet?
    My friend and I have both spent over 1.5k on our blacks and have had statements since the spend but still have received nothing.

    • Shibuya on 19/08/2014 - 10:25

      Nope haven't received my bonus points either. Will have to give them a call.

    • cocomelon on 26/08/2014 - 14:59

      in your rewards points page when is your summary updated since , mine is 8/08/2014

  • cache on 20/08/2014 - 13:38

    i thought it says on the terms and conditions that "it takes up to three months for the bonus 50k points to show up" ? if so, did anyone actually call in and got the 50k upon request before the three months are up?

  • laura85 on 20/08/2014 - 22:13

    I got the basic card and I've got my 50,000 pts already without spending $1500. Is there any point signing up for a platinum card as well to get another 50,000? Do I need to cancel the first card so that I am a 'new' customer?

    • modsec802 on 26/08/2014 - 15:02

      So, new accounts for existing customers are fine

  • Bargainboi on 20/08/2014 - 22:55

    just out of curiosity, does anyone know what happens if you forget to quote your FF number during sign up and go on a spending spree :P

    • jasonlka on 21/08/2014 - 15:43
      +1

      I asked that question over the phone with them and they said they would store the points earned on their side until you nominate a QFF number to them. It will then theoretically be pushed to the nominated QFF at the start of your next billing cycle.

    I've now got 150,000 points sitting in my Qantas account thank you ANZ :)

    1x 50,000 from ANZ FF
    1x 50,000 from ANZ FF Plat
    1x 50,000 from CBA awards after calling and complaining

    Will give it a few months then call to cancel everything including savings account to get the $100 bonus cash

    Sweet; got my 50k points! Going to wait until I get the $100 for the other anz deal and then close accounts.

    These dudes are legit the shittest bank. I had to wait almost 45 minutes at their Sydney CBD branch to get my card activated and the queue times are always bad at that place. And they also charge more fees than NAB etc. I have no idea what tard would ever bank with ANZ.

    ANZ: thanks for the free cash.

  • cocomelon on 22/08/2014 - 17:09

    Does anyone know, how much is 50k ANZ rewards points if converted to Velocity Points?

  • kgree92 on 24/08/2014 - 14:26

    Hey guys, just curious what would happen with the "Extended Warranty" that this credit card provides once the credit card is cancelled?

    I bought ps4 and TV lately, and both come with 1 year standard warranty. I am thinking of cancelling this credit card before the 2nd year.

          Well, for the base card $95 isn't bad for 50,000 points, which is $500 at 1 point:1 cent. I'm glad I got black and platinum first though - once I get my bonus on those I'm thinking about getting the base as well.

  • MelbBargainChaser77 on 30/08/2014 - 11:46

    I just called ANZ regarding my 2nd lot of 50,000 points, as I applied for 2 of these cards. I did receive the first lot for one of the cards, but was told there is no way they will pay out a 2nd lot. It is expressly forbiden to cash in twice I was told. Now either the ANZ rep had her info complertely wrong or some people here are telling porkies, that they have received not only 100000 points but Ive also read someone has claimed to have received 150000 points.

    • modsec802 on 30/08/2014 - 11:58

      Oh no. I'm still waiting for the second lot and thought this may be the case.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/08/2014 - 14:59

      I havent even received mine 50000 yet and when i called them they said it an take up to 3-4 months to get it. At least some of you already got it and can cancel your card.

    • kctt on 01/09/2014 - 12:11
      +3

      Why can't people wait for at least 2 months before making call? At least now ANZ know you have 2 cards and if they decide no bonus for people applying 2 cards, you would be the first one that would not get bonus.

    Hmm, not sure where I stand. Applied for my second card on the 24th, was told I'd need to send verification of my salary, which I did on the 24th, and someone called on Thursday saying it still wasn't received, so I sent again. Assuming now that since it's expired, and I wasn't approved in time, I won't be eligible.

      Though from reading reviews these lounges are shared by heaps of companies like ANZ so are pretty average.

      I used it at Dubai airport about 3 weeks ago and they scan your card in their machine (like an eftpos machine). Haven't seen it as a transaction on my netbank (yet), but I'm guessing the scanning is to check if it's active or not.

        Just also confirming that I'm sitting in the London Heathrow lounge using my FFB and again they scanned it in their machine to check validity. Enjoying a couple of Hennessy's on the rocks before my flight is nice way to ease into the 27hr'ish flight.

        • ChickenTalon on 14/09/2014 - 15:08

    Since this offer has been extended with new terms and conditions (no waiver on the first annual fee) you may be scratching around for the old promo details because you didn't save a copy at the time of application.

    WayBack Machine to the rescue with a copy from: 19 Aug 14. The key point of difference compared to the new offer:

    Total Annual Fee from Year 2 is $XXX

    Must have been seen too many applications for their liking…

    i applied before the deadline but only got approved in sept. i wonder if they are going to charge me the annual fee? on what date exactly did they change the terms and conditions about the annual fee not being waived in the first year? my wife applied after me and i didn't notice that the annual fee was payable. i only wish we had applied for multiple anz ff cards before they changed the terms. i guess you can still get multiple bonus sign up points if you apply for the 3 anz rewards cards with the annual fee waived for the 1st year instead? does anyone know if anz allow you to transfer credit limits between anz cards.ie decrease the limit on first anz card and increase it on the other anz card?

      I'm also waiting. I've also come to realise no incentive for me to use the ANZ Black visa card given the Citibank Signature Visa earns more QFF.

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 19/09/2014 - 00:31

        Use the ANZ Black AMEX where accepted with no fee for 1.5FFpoint/$ as opposed to 1ff/$ with Citi Visa

        • AnDyStYLe on 19/09/2014 - 08:13

          Also iirc, the Citibank Signature card incurs a $49 annual fee to link it to QFF.
