          Yes, this is true, but according to my bill the other options incur a 1% processing fee, except direct debit by the looks of it. Still an option but unfortunately some cost involved

    • coolsteps on 27/01/2016 - 12:05

      be careful telstra will probably only refund onto the same card number paid with.

      • swampson on 27/01/2016 - 12:53

        yup - but that's what I want/expect. Once I pay the bill amount with new card and they confirm received, they will refund back to original card.

    Can someone critique my plan.

    I plan on spending $15k on purchases and within the 55 day interest free period balance transfer to a St George 20 months interest free card. I'm a existing home loan customer with St George so they will waive the annual fee.

    Will it affect my eligibility for the bonus rewards points?
    Will every dollar spent over $2500 earn reward points?
    Are there any unforeseen issues with this plan?

    I will ask ANZ branch staff this week but curious to hear someone's response.

    Hi All. Ive read through all the comments but wondering a few things with this offer as I just received my FF Black VISA and AMEX

    To ensure I receive the 75,000 QANTAS FF points;

    1) Are there any benefits with spending the $2500 on any particular card (ie VISA or AMEX).
    2) Can I pay $2,500 into a non ANZ account with this card, and when it arrives, transfer the amount back?
    3) Do I need to contact ANZ when I have spent the $2,500 to ensure I get my point credited?

    Thanks for your help guys.

    • watwatwat on 27/01/2016 - 20:05
      1. Amex gives more points.
      2. Read terms. I doubt it includes cash advances.
      3. no.
      • ozstig on 28/01/2016 - 13:50

        Just received an extra set of cards. Looks like a double up. Wonder if I can activate these as well and get another 75000 points?

        • swampson on 28/01/2016 - 19:11

          i can almost definitely guarantee that it will not work :)

    • mobius on 28/01/2016 - 14:33

      I asked the ANZ teller you earn points on every dollar spent so use the AMEX which gets you 3 points.
      When you spend $2500 you get additional $75k points.

    • GaelicAU on 28/01/2016 - 14:41

      Thanks guys.

      So - easiest way to amass $2500 on the card without having to forfeit $2500 on goods?

  • gettem on 30/01/2016 - 15:43

    I'm new to the credit card game, so I don't have a credit history/rating or anything. Is it possible for me to be approved for the platinum card? I earn much more than the minimum annual income required.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 30/01/2016 - 16:23

      Should be OK. Go into a branch and see what they'll give you.

    One fyi I just found is they don't just send out the qantas club invites, see from their terms. . Account holders may request no more than two Qantas Club Lounge invitations in any 12 month period by calling the ANZ Personal Concierge on 1300 580 765. Qantas Club Lounge invitations will be sent to the account holder’s current mailing address within 4 weeks of request,
    I applied in December and was approved so am on the $7500 spend 😡

  • AnotherCheapo on 31/01/2016 - 13:27

    • coxymla on 01/02/2016 - 11:52
      +1

      Call and ask. You're unlikely to get it based on other people that have tried.
      Plus even though the ANZ is a good card I would say cancel ASAP so you can start the clock running for the 12 months of not holding a card before you can sign up to another bonus points offer.

  • metro1288 on 01/02/2016 - 09:52

    Would paying my strata repayments go towards earning my points?

    • coxymla on 01/02/2016 - 11:53

      As long as they accept proper credit card payments ie. it is not treated as a cash advance.

      • metro1288 on 01/02/2016 - 13:27

        Thanks, ill check with them first

  • ttlooshan on 03/02/2016 - 14:11

    After a bit of wrangling I finally got approved. I must say that ANZ has come a bit of a way. Rather than just deny my application they went through everything over the phone and different scenarios to get approved. Accepted one of their recommendations and it was approved. Much better than declining the application with no explanation as they have done to me before. Kudos to ANZ.

    • Classo on 03/02/2016 - 14:14

      Hey, did you apply for the Frequent Flyer Black card and did you meet the minimum income threshold?

      My application got rejected online, was wondering if you have any tips to get it approved via calling them?

      Thanks!

      • ttlooshan on 03/02/2016 - 14:34

        Yes and yes. I must add though that mine wasn't rejected online but referred. If you have less than the minimum income they ask for then it will be a challenge unless you have another source of income. They will ask for proof of the other source of income via bank statements.

  • Classo on 03/02/2016 - 14:36

    Perfect, thanks mate!

  • jabroni on 03/02/2016 - 16:06

    so i found anz application process great but their online banking compared to amex or cba could be better

    cant link a payment direct debit account to pay off the cc debt unless you fill out a form and mail it in…

    even the statement form doesnt list the reference number in bpay but says its your account number which is weird because all bpay forms ive every received list the ref number

    but still a great offer

          OMG !!! That's incredible considering the large number (7) of 'Pay for Entry'/Priority Pass/Diners Club lounges available at Bangkok (BKK) airport, and 4 at KLIA/KLIA2. I was considering making this my 'go to' credit card if/when I get it, and cancelling my $135 Annual fee - Diners Club (gives me a huge list of free airport lounge entries).

    Anyone know how long it usually takes ANZ to transfer points to Qantas once the minimum spend is satisfied?

  • natedogg92 on 11/02/2016 - 08:51

    Noob question - but I heard ANZ is removing the ability to earn points on HECS. Would a voluntary repayment still count for eligible spend?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 11/02/2016 - 09:33

      HECS payments are just payments to the ATO. If tax payments don't earn points, nor do HECS payments. The list of places awarding points to the ATO (at a worthwhile rate) is shrinking by the month.

      • natedogg92 on 11/02/2016 - 10:54

        Thanks, but was wondering, even if they don't rack up points - would they be included in the 2.5k "eligible spend"?

  • thydzik on 12/02/2016 - 11:47

    minimum spend satisfied, says 3 months, let's see how long it takes to credit the points.

  • swampson on 12/02/2016 - 16:14
    +5

    I applied via the link from OP on 12/01 - got approved, got cards+welcoem pack (took little longer than expected - up and running late Jan); All was well with the world. Rang up other day re a query on something or other, and as part of conversation asked about the min spend+bonus QFF points .. lady said I did not have the Rewards FF card, only 'Rewards' so was not eligible for any FF bonus.

    I retraced my steps through the browser history from date I applied and definitely followed the application path outlined here.. even repeated the process again to the point of entering personal details, and the top of the page confirmed I was applying for the FF featured card. So somewhere between me hitting the final 'GO' button on the application form page, and then receiving the cards, I'd been moved to the ANZ Rewards black card account type.

    Phone rep could not explain why, but has switched me over to the ANZ Black FF account type now and I'll get new cards in the post shortly…. anyway, just wanted to mention this in case someone else find themselves with the Black Rewards only card.

    Now that I realise, the clue is the Qantas symbol on the cards themselves… obviously! But I didnt think to check/notice that at the time.

    Keep an eye out!

    • swampson on 16/02/2016 - 16:01

      Further fun and games ..
      Now, having had my online profile rebranded as FF account as process of change over, I went in to branch to see if cards arrived yet .. no, but that's OK happy to wait. Guy at branch (35 Pitt St, Syd - ANZ closest to Circ Quay) said he was not sure if the amount spent on card already would provide similarly valued FF points once the transfer into the new FF featured account was completed. This is in direct contradiction to what the rep told me on the phone other day (10th or so)!! I was adamant about wanting/expecting the FF point value to transfer over - it was not my fault the original account was setup incorrectly, so I did not want to be further disadvantaged by not earning the FF points on value already spent.
      Anyone have experience with this?

      Barely started with this mob and already had some run arounds that make the experience less than pleasant….

        Thank you for posting, I also somehow ended up with Rewards instead of FF and am going to see if it can be changed

        • swampson on 17/02/2016 - 10:49

          it is a bit odd - the call centre rep suggested (as in was not at all certain) that maybe there was a point during the applicatino where you chose "Rewards" or "FF Rewards" as the account type, but I am certain there is not an option of this nature. I clicked the OP link to the ANZ page, it lists "FF Rewards" everywhere, click apply, the application page has "FF Rewards" at the top throughout the process, and that is all there is to it. No manual selection.

          Anyone see differently through their application?

        • Peck on 17/02/2016 - 10:56

          @swampson: Sorry to hear about the troubles. I suggest that you keep the name of the call centre person and harass them until you get the right outcome.

        • swampson on 17/02/2016 - 10:59

          @peck:

          Definitely will be chasing that up for sure. Years working in cust service / call centres has made me very aware of keeping records of times/dates/names, so hopefully this will come in handy. Cheers for the support!

        • ttlooshan on 18/02/2016 - 01:06

          @swampson: Funny enough this same thing happened to me. Only difference though is that I caught it on the application referral page. I had to call the approval team who advised that I should withdraw the application and re-apply for the QFF black.

        • swampson on 18/02/2016 - 06:48

          @caribwa:
          hmm that is interesting.. i must admit that I did not realise that being on the QFF black branded page from OP https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/frequent-flyer/… and then clicking 'Apply Now' button would take me to any other application page other than the QFF Black card - but I will grant that it appears to have been a technical possiblity! Magic :)
          Good work for noticing it in your case!

      • swampson on 18/02/2016 - 08:58
        +1

        just a quick update : when I switched the package to FF black last week on the phone, the cust service rep confirmed the amount spend on the card pre-switch would still be eligible for the per $ points reward (separate to the 75k points bonus after $2.5k spend). Got a conflicting uncertain report of that from the guy at the branch the other day as he said he was not sure. Rang the call centre this morning, and a fellow there said he guaranteed the amount spent up to the switch would definitely still be eligible for the points. So hopefully that's all that needs to be done now - I'll check that out later once the account is in full swing.
        But looks like the outcome is thankfully looking very positive. Fingers crossed. Should be collecting the new cards from the branch today.

    • arigoldforpm on 18/02/2016 - 23:17

      Same thing happened to me. Rang up and was advised that a transfer to QFF Black would mean I would not be eligible for 75k bonus points on either card. Further advised I could apply for a separate QFF Black card and be eligible for bonus points on both the ANZ Rewards Black and QFF Black. Provided I met the credit criteria for the second card. So I applied but was knocked back. Bring on the next QFF deal! :)

      • swampson on 21/02/2016 - 19:42
        +2

        hmm that seems odd… i have confirmed from multiple ppl that the transfer would still make me eligible for points for prev spent $; and the 75k bonus would be intact. In fact when I have verified for the 3rd time (as a query tacked on the end of other legitmate questions - i didnt just phone them to ask that 3 times!) :) , the last phone rep said very politely "I can see via via notes on the ticket that my last 2 colleagues have verified that with you already, so all good."
        So if your outcome is different i would contest it with them, so they've def confirmed i'll still be eligible for those 75k bonus pts.

    Not sure if this has been noted before, but this card is also eligible for 2 Amex Lounge Sydney visits per calendar year: https://amexnetwork.com.au/goodgoing#

    So overall 2x Qantas Lounge invitations + up to 4x Amex Lounge visits + international Veloce lounge access is pretty outstanding value for a 12 months free deal!

    Wouldn't mind keeping it for longer, any reports on whether people have managed to extend another year for free after this? How can you maximise chances of getting it through?

    • gotcha on 24/02/2016 - 21:17

        Note "All other eligible cards are entitled to two (2) entries into The American Express Lounge per calendar year (1st January to 31st December) for each American Express Card account. The entries may be used by the basic Card Member, Supplementary Card Member or a guest travelling with a Card Member.

      "ANZ Frequent Flyer Black. The offer of 75,000 bonus points with no annual fee for the first year has just been extended until 11/5/16 (according to the Qantas site; there's nothing on the ANZ site)"
