    i'm not entirely sure about "better" because from what I read on the website, these are ANZ's own reward program points. I don't know what the transfer rate is but I typically value bank rewards points at HALF the value of QFF or VA points, ie you're only getting 25k points here IMHO. This of course makes no difference if you are in the habit of cashing out for gift cards and other purchases.

    Still a good deal

    • den_yong on 04/07/2014 - 10:22

        OK, $250 then. Lots of other gift card options too.

          Wise decision.

          Too many applications for credit in a short period doesn't look healthy on your credit reports.

          I wonder if this is still the case with the changes to positive credit reporting earlier this year. With the increased level of information on your credit report such as when you pay on time I think card issuers will probably rely less on that kind of info.

      • MrGrinchy on 06/07/2014 - 13:33

        And how pays for this $250? Not ANZ, its the existing customers slugged with 19% rates that are paying for all the newbies at 0% or the extra rewards.

        The govt should change the law to disallow introductory rates that all customers cannot get.

        Its a drug dealers rateas dude, first hit free, then you pay man!

        Why is the drug dealers model allowed?

        So many business practices that are just another model, are 100% purely against some law in the USA.

          If you find taking advantage of promotions (invariably funded by existing customer base) offensive, Ozbargain may not be the place for you dude. Just saying….

        • snappywan on 12/07/2014 - 22:00

          Interest rates of existing customer base and the fees charged to merchants and negotiations with merchants subsidise the rewards programs.

        • mrjames on 12/07/2014 - 23:04
          +2

          No ones forcing any customer to pay 19% interest, if you're paying interest on a credit card you have only yourself to blame. Everyone on ozbagain is simply capitalising on the stupidity of others.

  • cornucopia on 04/07/2014 - 08:13

    The airline program rewards set out in anzrewards.com appear to exclude Qantas and, as examples of the conversion rate, 6000 rewards points earns 2000 FF points on Singapore Airlines Kris Flyer, 2250 rewards points earns 1000 FF points on Virgin Velocity. So WORSE than 50% conversion rate. No deal……:-)

    If you are planning to cash out for myer gift cards (or some other monetary equivalent), then you are still better off going with the qantas card.

        50000 ANZ points = $250 gift cards
        50000 QFF points = $331 gift cards
        If your goal is to cash in the bonus points and get the hell out then Qantas card is better.

    Best value is $240 worth of Westfield gift cards.
    $250 requires 52000 points.

    • Dumax on 04/07/2014 - 11:43

      Westfield is the best option as you can then purchase more giftcards from Woolworths (eg. Wish cards for petrol)

    • TommyGun on 05/07/2014 - 00:44

      No cost, but generally have to keep the card for about 3 months which is about the time it will take to get the points.

      PS. I wouldn't apply for too many cards in a short period of time as this will negatively impact your credit report.

      • Azn310 on 28/07/2014 - 00:03

        How does having too many cards in a short period affect your credit report?

      Because this card doesn't earn you FF points.

  • garethb on 07/07/2014 - 21:27

    For Myer gift cards as an example, this is better than the FF card.
    Only using Amex, this card will require a (19980 points) $6660 spend for a $100 gift card. TThe FF card will require a (13500 points) $9000 spend for a $100 gift card.
    Only Visa, this card would require a $9990 spend where the FF card would require an $18000 spend.
    But the FF 50000 points in the promotion is worth more than the 50000 points on offer here. Plus the FF card has 2 Qantas business lounge access passes……

  • squidly on 09/07/2014 - 14:41

    I applied fo the FF Black card and have been approved - Get 50,000 QFF points (after Spend $1500).
    You think if i apply for Rewards Black will get the 50,000 rewards points also??
    Or is it only for new customers??

  • joannatan on 09/07/2014 - 21:22

    Hi guys,

    Does anyone know if it’s OK to overload the card (e.g. my credit limit is $1000 and I decide to put $2000 on the card to be in the green by $1k) and then use the card for purchases, will I attract the points still?

    Or do I need to be going into debt to achieve the points?

  • banzini on 12/08/2014 - 13:15

    dumb question, but is there any reason why someone would use the visa portion of this card at 1.5 points per $1? The AMEX gives 2 points per $1 spend therefore, would I ever need to use the VISA?

    • lolmao on 12/08/2014 - 21:13

    • ANZ Black Rewards
    • ANZ Rewards

    I just applied for ANZ Black Rewards and I would want to apply for ANZ Rewards.

          Do you refer to that part?
          "When you apply for credit or a service, the relevant credit provider may check your credit report, leaving an enquiry on your report. Credit enquiries affect your credit score.

          One way to find out is simply look up your credit score. It's free.

          should be alright

  • frysie on 08/09/2014 - 13:17

    what do you think is better?

    the cash out $250 OR….

    22 * 2250 (virgin velocity points) ? 22,000 points?

    N.B.
    to get another 1000 virgin points (2250 reward points) you need to spend an additional $875 before the 12 months is up. easily do-able with groceries on amex (and fuel)….

    to get 20,000 points you need to pay $149 for the platinum virgin credit card with a >$500 spend… so im saving $149 + $500 already

    • lolmao on 08/09/2014 - 18:49

      Cash

      • frysie on 09/09/2014 - 06:58

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 09/09/2014 - 20:54

          What about using the points on WISH gift cards ($250), then getting a prepaid Mastercard ($3.95 admin fee) - does this work? Or do you need to buy prepaid credit cards with cash only?

  • frysie on 09/09/2014 - 21:02

    Got approved. Wad only expecting a 3k limit. But they gave me 10k lol…..

  • frysie on 11/09/2014 - 08:31

    I'm going to buy the iphone 6 on the amex card to push me into that extra $50 cashback for $250 cash back or 23,000 velocity points… good timing for the card to arrive ;)
