You need to spend $3000 in the first 3 months to get the reward points or Frequent Flyer points. Can then be used in the ANZ rewards store or Qantas store.

You can get the points and cancel before the annual fee in the second year applies.

Can be used to take advantage of the current AMEX offers.

A $200 Woolworths gift card is nearly 40,000 ANZ reward points. A $250 Woolworths gift card is 37,500 Qantas frequent flyer points.
Browse ANZ store here: https://anzrewards.com/public/redeem.aspx
Browse Qantas store here: https://store.qantas.com/

Not valid for existing ANZ credit card holders or if you have closed an account in the previous 12 months.

Frequent Flyer Card:
Available with the standard, black and platinum frequent flyer card. Eligibility criteria applies depending on what card you apply for. Just for the standard FF card you need an annual income of 15k, platinum is 50k, and black is 75k.

Black card also gets you 2x Qantas club passes (~$80-100 resale value) and a discount on Qantas club membership. Also gets you access to participating airport lounges worldwide, regardless of which airline you are flying with.
Platinum and Black give you complimentary travel/medical insurance and car rental excess cover.
Complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer membership included.

    Not point for point exchange for Velocity:

    Redeem multiples of 2,250 Reward Points for 1,000 Velocity Frequent Flyer Points. Allow up to 5 business days for Velocity Points to be allocated to your Account. Account Holder must be a member of the Velocity Program. Conditions apply.

    https://anzrewards.com/public/redeem_ff_product.aspx?id=1654…

    http://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Info/ANZRewards…

    2250 ANZ Reward points = 1000 Velocity points.

    50,000 ANZ points would be ~22222 Velocity points.

    Don't understand your neg, because you can get ANZ Rewards points or 50,000 QFF points which is much better.

    • inherentchoice on 06/05/2015 - 16:33

      50,000 QFF points which is much better

      Are you sure? What is the rough equivalent in dollars of 50k QFF and 50k ANZ points?

      • Paul Atreides on 06/05/2015 - 16:35
        +2

        well, FF points usually sell for 1point/$0.01, so 50000QFF=$500 on that note.

        Using OP example above, where ~40000points=$200 woolworths voucher, then yes, I agree that QFF points are better

      • nadan on 06/05/2015 - 16:58

        pretty sure, it made me $450.

    • inamberclad on 06/05/2015 - 16:34

      where does it say 50k QFF or 50k ANZ rewards points?

      correct me if i'm wrong, the 50k QFF points is a deal that applies to the Frequent Flyer card, not these Reward cards

        • slimdusty on 07/05/2015 - 00:13

          I clicked on that link by nadan, which seems to say that the 50k QFF points only apply to the Frequent Flyer cards, and ANZ rewards points only apply to the Rewards cards. Have I missed something?

        • inamberclad on 07/05/2015 - 01:18

          @slimdusty: it's 2 separate cards/reward schemes. read further down this page. both have first year annual fee waived (spend over $3k over 3 months)

  • inherentchoice on 06/05/2015 - 16:32

    Hmm already have 3 x credit cards with thousands of dollars in credit limits. I'm not even that rich. But perhaps I can still get approved for this too?

    This offer is until 30 June, so perhaps I will cancel one of my cards by then and then apply for this…

    Should I reduce the credit limits on my existing cards before applying for this?

    • babiguling on 06/05/2015 - 16:40

    • sheikyerbouti on 06/05/2015 - 18:27

      Just be aware that each open line of credit you have on file makes it harder to get future lines of credit (eg bank loans, even mobile accounts).

        I have recently cancelled an ANZ Rewards card and was dissapointed to see this exclusion. However checking the exclusion for the frequent flyer offer leads me to believe that i may be eligible for that offer instead.

        Not available in conjunction with other offers, packages or promotions, or when transferring from an existing ANZ credit card or where you currently hold or have closed an ANZ Frequent Flyer, ANZ Frequent Flyer Gold, ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum or ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card within the previous twelve months.

        You may be able to close the card you have now and apply for the other type shortly after.

  • CheapandUsed on 06/05/2015 - 16:53

    Damn, just signed up for the NAB offer with 40,000 QF points because ANZ still had the annual fee.

    Might wait a little while then apply for this once the NAB application isn't so fresh. But then I have a large expense coming up that would activate these rewards points…

    What a stupid dilemma to have

      • Lukian on 06/05/2015 - 17:39
        +1

        There should be no harm in keeping it for 11-12mths, just remember to call to cancel (and see if they'll waive the annual fee).

        Depends if your current card(s) have better rewards points (or cashback) for normal purchases.

  • Lukian on 06/05/2015 - 17:12

    Note: Rewards points are only valid for 36mths, if you stockpile them.

    Summary of Rewards Platinum vs Bankwest Zero - Complimentary Overseas Travel insurance (interesting limits in AUD):

    ANZ 250 2000 0 4000 1000 6h=250 accom, 50 meals 2000 >25% remaining 3000

    Cancellation & Medical are 'unlimited' for both. Always refer to the PDS for information before making a decision.

  • ahara on 06/05/2015 - 17:39

    Interesting about this offer is that even the most basic FF card ( not black or platinum) is included in the offer and 50000 Qantas points are included with first year fee free as long as you spend the $3000 in the first 3 month of issue.

    Will consider for sure when and if my rating goes up again from the NAB and Westpac deals here.

    Merged from 50,000 Qantas FF Points with ANZ Platinum, Black, FF Credit Card (First Year Annual Fee Waived)

      I'm unsure how many people take up such offers, but 'giving away' 50,000 QFF points at a time certainly erodes the value of the points for those that 'earn' them through flying.

  • ulun-lpg on 06/05/2015 - 18:04

    im wondering, I am currently a card holder of ANZ and have my wife as supplementary card holder. Does supplementary card holder is also considered as a card holder in this context?

    If not, I can sign up with her name.

    Anyone?

    • carbonmeister on 06/05/2015 - 18:18

      No, a secondary card holder is not considered a card holder in this context.
      As long as your wife has not closed a FF or Rewards Card within the last 12 months, as a PRIMARY card holder - she would be eligible for the bonus points.

      • ulun-lpg on 06/05/2015 - 18:37

        Yep, she never had an anz account before so that means she's eligible.

    The Qantas one is definitely better - same terms, but 50,000 QFF points > 50,000 ANZ rewards points, even if you convert both to gift vouchers.

  • Roary on 06/05/2015 - 18:28

    Do any of these accounts liit the number of points you can earn per month?

    Woolworths did a ninja change where you only earn .5 pts/dollar above $2500.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 06/05/2015 - 18:31
      +1

      Woolworths has gone to complete garbage. $50 increase in annual fee, points tiered after $2500, AND they will steal points off you if you pay more than your closing balance/pay before the statement is issued. They're thieves - I'm just hanging out for my free 2,000 points for using the new card they sent me, then I'll be cancelling, even though they'll probably waive the fee forever.

  • watwatwat on 06/05/2015 - 19:24
    +4

    Btw to anyone feeling guilty about closing this later on; don't. ANZ is a horrible bank. When I set up this card last year in the city, I had to come in multiple times because my lunch break only lasts so long. The lines go on forever and make you wait like an hour to set up a card, when other companies just do it online or over the phone.

    Plus fees etc makes it non competitive.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 06/05/2015 - 19:50

      I got dudded by them several times when I was in uni (welched on an offer because of their admin errors, rewards points expired without warning, etc). Taking my 50,000 QFF points, and $250 in Myer vouchers, paying $0 in fees and closing both accounts within 6 months of opening, was very rewarding.

    • skinner on 07/05/2015 - 21:25

      I think you would struggle to find an inner-city bank that isn't busy around lunch time. I got the FF Platinum card with this deal last year and it was all done online. If you're new to the bank you would need to do the ID check in branch but the rest should be fine over the phone or online. For the record; I'm not saying ANZ is/isn't a horrible bank, just that my experience was different.

      I found they were the most straightforward of any banks when calling to cancel. No third degree. Having said that, if you can send messages in your online banking login, they'll usually take that as sufficient instruction to close an account.

  • AshSet on 12/05/2015 - 11:10

    We got 2 cards in the mail both Visa and Amex. So the $3000 purchase is calculated based on both the cards total?

      Yes, they both link to the same account.

  • ghostbuster on 14/05/2015 - 10:04

    Maybe a noob question here, but if I pay a $100 bill for example, and there is a 5% surcharge for paying on AMEX, does that mean $105 goes towards the $3k?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 14/05/2015 - 10:31
      +1

      Yes. Merchant surcharges are just additional costs of the given purchase. Foreign currency fees charged by the bank, however, may not be counted toward your spend.
