          It shouldn't be an issue, but in case they get narky about refunds, you can book your flights for a date 6 months away, wait for the 3 months to roll past, collect the bonus points and then refund the flights.

          @unclesnake:

          You will not get the points from the flights as you won't be using them, it's purely just a means to spend the money on something that can easily be refunded so you can get the bonus points.

          @unclesnake:
          Because some people can't afford to pay off a $3000 credit card debt before the interest starts. My method means that you can buy the flights near the end of the 3rd month, get bonus points, refund flights and not worry about having to pay the closing balance at the end of the statement period. The flights can be subbed for anything that is fully refundable, it was just a suggestion.

        • roddo on 02/07/2015 - 03:08

          @cymon:

          Great idea. Not sure I could spend 3k in 3months

          So you get the refund; is it credited back to the card? Any way of then releasing that 3k into a bank account or cash? Or do you just have to slowly spend it down?

          Cheers

        • Mr BoMBAStiG on 02/07/2015 - 07:24

          @roddo:
          If you had a $3k debt on your card and got a $3k refund credited to it, your balance would be $0.

        • moar bargains on 02/07/2015 - 07:57

          @roddo: I talked to ANZ about exactly this once. They said it was like a debit card. You can withdraw the cash from an ATM, or just use it to pay for other things along the way. Not sure if there is a fee for ATM withdrawl, so better check that first.

        • moar bargains on 02/07/2015 - 07:59

          @cymon: This gets complicated if the bonus points are credited further in advance than you would start paying interest. E.g. 44 days interest free, but if the points are credited after 60-90 days, then you would have to refund before you get the points. That may prevent you from getting them.

    ANZ are pretty useless at (anything) so when you go to collect your cards, if you have a change of address label on the back of your ID, make sure they photocopy both sides of your ID. Otherwise they change your address to match your ID and then more ANZ stupidity ensues :/

          Macamaca, assuming you mean not many merchants accept AMEX, without a surcharge.

          FYI, the following major retailers do so without a surcharge (you may have shopped at a few):
          - Woolworths
          - Coles
          - Shell, Caltex, Mobil/7-11 service stations
          - Big W, Target, K-mart, Myer, David Jones, etc
          - McDonald's

          They're accepted at a lot more retailers now than say the early 90's - maybe because they're operating on a scheme level closely with card re-issuers as opposed to a separate entity (a la Visa/Mastercard)

  • montorola on 01/07/2015 - 13:13

    Is it really worthwhile spending points on flights?

    1. I will never fly business/first class, so using points for upgrades is a waste for me.
    2. With all the taxes etc that come with flights, isn't it cheaper to just wait for a good airfare (like the bargain LAX/NYC deals just then)

    So in saying all that, the best way is to spend it on something that you will use "everyday" such as a Woolies gift card (grocies, petrol)?

    • Lukian on 01/07/2015 - 13:20
      +1

      I don't see Europe in the bargain flights. Even if so, taxes only is still far cheaper than than a bargain flight.

    • meku on 01/07/2015 - 13:34
      +1

      Points are worth much more when redeemed as flights versus other purchases.

      When redeeming flights, the conversion seems to be something like 50 pts / dollar. But when redeeming cash value the conversion is closer to 150 pts / dollar (using the WW gift card example).

      So 50,000 pts is like $1000 in flights, or $333 in gift cards.

      • montorola on 01/07/2015 - 13:40
        +2

        Well I guess it'd take a bit of math, because if say I get a cheap flight to LA for $800 return without points, and with points it comes to 50,000 points + $750 in taxes, then saving $50 at an expense of 50,000 points isn't really worth it.

        That 50k points could've gotten you a woolies voucher for $333.

        Looks like it's a case by case basis…

        • Lukian on 01/07/2015 - 13:49

          Plus, the recent bargain flights are being cancelled (see latest comments). $800 flights are still extremely rare and $1k is more typical of a good bargain (with limited travel periods). Points based flights generally have much less limited travel periods.

        • brongz on 01/07/2015 - 15:12
          +1

          agree with montorola. check the flight that you want first, how much in $$$. then check with point PLUS taxes, how much the taxes and how much the $$$ value of your points (comparing it gift card).

          sometimes it's more worthy if you're not using your points for flight at all

    • Mr BoMBAStiG on 01/07/2015 - 14:30

      I have said the same about business class, but when you are on a 20hr flight and you are using points you got for free to upgrade to business… worth it.

    • lilkid28 on 01/07/2015 - 17:18

      YOLO so fly business class at least once… with the bonus points of course =)

    • ajdlinux on 01/07/2015 - 18:23
      +1

      One of the best ways to redeem for flights is on Round-the-World fares. Economy Oneworld RTW awards are 140k + taxes, while Business RTWs are 280k + taxes - given the taxes are the same, it's double the points for a product which normally costs 4-5x as much.

      It does depend on your personal preferences of course. I do a lot of domestic flying on routes that aren't served at all by LCCs, and have a fairly strong preference for QF over VA due to their better services on the routes I regularly fly, so collecting QF points on my credit card over other types of rewards schemes is a good way of boosting the significant amount I already earn from flying. 8,000 points (or 11,000 including taxes) gets me an award economy seat on short-haul domestic sectors I regularly use, so I've done that a few times. It probably doesn't make sense to redeem points where the taxes are comparable to an LCC fare, but there are still reasons why one would choose to fly QF at a premium over an LCC anyway.

      • Lukian on 02/07/2015 - 17:36

        Thanks. Time for some more planning! :)

        (Will easily have 140k points for use next year, or the year after, whenever friends want to go certain places!)

    Does QP have expiry date, I read somewhere, if you dont use QF within 3 years, its gone. Is that correct?

    • brongz on 01/07/2015 - 15:19

      either use or EARN, so it won't expire

      Do my Qantas Points expire?

      Your Qantas Points will not expire as long as you earn or use Qantas Points (excluding family transfers or the conversion of points from Aquire) through your Frequent Flyer account at least once every 18 months. This includes earning or using Qantas Points with our program partners. The time period starts from the date of your last activity (in the case of earning points on eligible flights, that is the date the flight was taken).

      Even if your Qantas Points do expire, you remain a Frequent Flyer member and your Frequent Flyer number and card remain valid. The next time you want to earn Qantas Points, simply use your card and the points will be credited to your account.

  • rmh on 01/07/2015 - 22:16

    So assuming you make over the 75k salary requirement is there any reason why you wouldn't apply for the Black card over the plat or std? Assuming you were going to cancel before the 12th month that is..

    Also, when it says Qantas club discount is for Black holders (up to $455), I'm having trouble working out from the fine print what that actually means the final price of Qantas club is? It says;

    "$455 saving in the first year is based upon a joining fee waiver and a discount to the standard one-year individual membership rate. The joining fee waiver is for a >new one year individual Qantas Club memberships purchased using an ANZ Frequent Flyer Black card …. Quoted joining fee savings are based on the joining fee for an >individual Qantas Club membership application by an Australian resident. …. Quoted membership fee savings are based on the difference between the published corporate >membership rate and the fee applicable to an individual Qantas Club membership held by an Australian resident."

    So Qantas club for individuals it's $385 for joining and $510 for the first year, total $895. With the discount (-$455) does that mean it's $440? If so, why does it say the fee savings are based on the difference between published corporate rate compared to an individual.. so confusing.

    So would cancelling 3000 worth of hotel booking before the 3 months trick work?

    • coxymla on 03/07/2015 - 20:48

      3mo might be cutting it a little close depending on when you timed the purchase.

      • ozchobie on 04/07/2015 - 07:35

        but has this trick worked? when is the best time then? :)

        • coxymla on 04/07/2015 - 10:33

          Because it can take 6-8 weeks for points to appear, if you have only 3 months to refund a hotel booking, then you'd want to pay for it as close to the end of your credit card statement month as you can. Then wait for the points to arrive, then refund the booking.

          @coxymla:

          Oh okay I kinda am getting it now. So it's best to book a hotel like way way into the future so I can still cancel and get the refund with no troubles? :D

        • coxymla on 04/07/2015 - 19:59

          @ozchobie: I think I misunderstood your original question.

          You said "3 month trick", at first I thought you meant that you had to cancel the hotel booking within 3 months?

          If instead you mean the $3K spend within the first 3 month of owning the credit card and you can cancel the hotel booking at any time then there's no issue.

          @coxymla:

          Ha sorry about that. But yeah. I meant the latter :)

          Thanks mate!

    I applied for a supplementary card during the application process. The supplementary card has a different card number than the main card. This is a good thing for the Amex rebate deals.

  • ozbargainer888 on 05/07/2015 - 21:49

    So I applied for the black card and didn't get instantly approved so need to wait now.
    Anyone else in the same boat?

    • roughana on 06/07/2015 - 17:15

      I was. They asked me for confirmation of income via email.

      • ozbargainer888 on 06/07/2015 - 17:21

        I got an approval email this morning.
        No further info was required. Guess the algorithm just didn't have me as an instant approval.

      • ozchobie on 07/07/2015 - 21:15

        Do you need to forward proof of income?

        • ozbargainer888 on 08/07/2015 - 12:33

          I didn't need to.

          @ozbargainer888:

          Cool. So im new to this cc tricks. Do you get charged for the second annual fee on your first anniversary? People just cancel prior to that date to avoid the fees right?

        • ozbargainer888 on 09/07/2015 - 10:47

          @ozchobie: That's right. Put an alert in your calendar to remind you before the anniversary date and give your cc a call asking if they will waive the annual fee. Then you decide whether to keep the card.
          If you cancel before the anniversary date then you avoid getting charged the annual fee.

    • ectogammat on 13/08/2015 - 07:39

      I didn't get instant approval and have been waiting for further correspondence from them for the 4th business day now. Not looking good :/ this is my first credit card application too and I'm slightly concerned!

  • Scrltx121 on 07/07/2015 - 11:19

    Is this a good secondary card to pair with AmEx for places it's not accepted even if it's just for the first year to get the free points?

    • Utopian on 07/07/2015 - 11:51

      ? This is AMEX. They're "Linked" cards, these days.
      VISA & AMEX on the same account. Use the card you'd prefer, when it suits best.
