    Online offer only. Apparently this means something about having to have been invited through an online savings account?

    • Gaz1 on 29/11/2016 - 15:51

      No, it shows up on the ANZ credit card webpage:

      (the previous offer only showed up if you were logged into ANZ Internet Banking)

        yeah I'm not totally sure… I saw it on the home page and asked anz about it on online chat, and the guy said 'online' means you get the ofer through your account. I asked if I opened an account whether I could do it and he said only if you get invited through your account. I don't know that he knew what he was talking about. I sent him the link with the ad on it and said it was dodgy advertising if people with an account couldn't access it but he just kept telling me the same thing about having an account. perhaps calling them would clarify. but anz's customer service seems to be pretty terrible across all platforms including on the phone and in branch too…

  • santoitaliano on 29/11/2016 - 15:42

    I find it hard to justify the large annual fee and the limitation if you are already have an ANZ credit card..

    • chocfrogs456 on 29/11/2016 - 15:43

      yes no point with annual fee

      • zfind on 29/11/2016 - 15:50

        I haven't looked into the new deal, but if it's the same as the older one, you get 2x QANTAS Club passes, $400 for a year's QANTAS Club membership, insurance, etc etc. It's a pretty good deal. No decent Platinum / Black card is going to be fee-free, except for the first year (which this one was last time round I believe).

        • kasp on 29/11/2016 - 16:18

          I have a citibank one for free. Free insurance and Rewards program.

          Don't think they do that anymore.

          Except the NAB Platinum QFF Visa which is annual fee free to shareholders (>500 shares). Has the usual high status card benefits .. 😆 .. !! Keep in mind the reurn on NAB shares is currently around 9% pa (inc. franking credits). Definitely a win/win .. 😃 .. !!

        • zfind on 29/11/2016 - 16:54

          @cornucopia:

          One could argue that the $14,380 to acquire said shares is a bit more than the annual fee ;)

          (I've got that card, quite nice, but my ANZ gets more action. NAB waived the annual fee though which was nice).

        • chocfrogs456 on 29/11/2016 - 19:05

          yes i think you approx. get your money back on the bonus points and then it depends if you use the insurance, passes etc. re the money you save with amex deals, can get this with a fee free amex. so I guess it just depends if you use the other perks and how much you spend on it, whether it is worth the hassle of opening and closing etc. compared to using a fee free Qantas amex one…

      • Gaz1 on 29/11/2016 - 15:52

        • Flyinghigh on 15/12/2016 - 17:43

          I am in the process of confirming no annual fee for the 1st year with ANZ.

          When called to double confirm this morning, i was told there is an annual fee payable for the 1st year after looking into information in my account. The staff insisted the 'no annual fee' deal expired 6 months ago.

          I will leave it to you all if you want to double check for a peace of mind.

    • BluBoy on 29/11/2016 - 16:32
      +2

      I got this last year, with the intention of closing after the first year because of the high annual fee. To be honest, It's been pretty good.

      I've saved:
      * ~ $1k thanks to various Amex offer (obviously you could use any Amex card for this)
      * ~ $100 on Qantas lounge passes
      * Who knows how much on travel/item insurance
      * On top of that, you get 2.5 points per dollar spent at Qantas. For someone who travels a lot for work, this was worth almost 100k in points (or a few thousand dollars in seat upgrades and holidays).

      My first year is nearly up, and I am debating whether I keep it or not. But if you have the spend, there is value in having this card.

      • illumination on 29/11/2016 - 16:46
        +1

        From the sounds of things you got really good value out of it. But given that there's an annual fee coming up, I think you'd be better off with the AMEX Explorer (especially with the huge sign-up bonus). The only somewhat significant drawback I can think of for you is that you won't be able to earn Qantas points anymore. Although, bluntly speaking Qantas points (relative to the other programs) are not the best points from a redeeming for flights point of view.

        • lilkid28 on 29/11/2016 - 17:07

          I guess if he travels a lot for work and is a Qantas Platinum or higher, he would get some good value and chances of upgrading, reward seat availability.

          @lilkid28: I have been platinum for 2 years. I have never been upgraded. Actually 12 months ago they downgraded the whole dam plane to the type with no business class, so my chances of getting upgraded took a slight dip there. I would sit on the pilots lap, if they offered.

        I am currently using the ANZ Qantas Black card, spend around $85k per year, just call them and the annual fee waived for both of my card and an additional card.

        • T-man on 29/11/2016 - 18:52

          @illumination:

          It costs $65 (an annual Additional Cardholder Fee of $10 and an annual Rewards Program Services Fee of $55)

        • illumination on 29/11/2016 - 18:56

          @divious: oh ok whoops my bad

          This must be a somewhat recent change (last 8 months) then because I got a supplementary card for free on an ANZ Frequent Flyer platinum card in March for free. Wouldn't have got it if it cost money

        • shankur on 29/11/2016 - 19:29

          @illumination: I did that last year (and they waived the fee), but when I called this year they said it was no longer an option on the Black cards. So had to pay the fee or cancel.

        • T-man on 29/11/2016 - 20:29

          @illumination:

          the only reason I requested the supplementary card is the Amex offers, so are you still using the supplementary card for free of charges?

        • T-man on 29/11/2016 - 20:31

          @shankur:

          Are you a high spender? Also, try to call them again and talk to another staff.

        • illumination on 30/11/2016 - 08:48

          @divious: Yes still using the supplementary card now. I requested a supplementary for the same reasons. Wasn't charged at the beginning and haven't been charged yet. If I get charged I'll close the supplementary card.

        • shankur on 30/11/2016 - 14:11

          @divious: Spent circa 80-100k on the year. They were pretty unequivocal that they had changed their internal rules on the Black level cards. Little annoying, but I rarely used the lounge access (Platinum on OW), so I changed to an alternate card.

        • jcheah12 on 02/01/2017 - 16:21

          Just asked if they could waive the annual fee for my card as I spent more than $70k a year. He told me to wair for him to check what he can do, then cane back ans said ok the annual fee will be reversed and you will see in the statement next couples of days.

        • jcheah12 on 03/01/2017 - 16:14

I asked for a $6K limit though and they said that was fine. Gave them 2 payslips and proof that my pay goes into an Aussie bank. Have conditional approval.

    • Zinger on 29/11/2016 - 16:20

      call the concierge service on 1300 580 765. I might be wrong but I don't think they will check your minimum spend. It takes 5-10 business days to get the passes. Valid for 1 year from the day you call.

    • roadeh on 29/11/2016 - 16:21

      Be aware that you need to explicitly request the lounge passes from their concierge service.. mine came a few days afterwards, but I think your timelines are tight given that you'd need to wait a week or so for the card to arrive after approval.

      • Shuey on 30/11/2016 - 11:25

        .. looks like the lounge visits is a fairly new addition. Didn't have it in the past (pre-2016). But looks like you need to fly QF/JQ International to have access? That's a bummer

        • illumination on 30/11/2016 - 11:30
          +1

          I think the CBA Diamond always had the AMEX lounge access. And because it's AMEX lounge access you do not need a boarding pass with QF/JQ to gain access. You just need a boarding pass + your credit card.

        • Shuey on 30/11/2016 - 12:24

      Call your council and see if you can pay your rates upfront. Usually councils can credit that to your account so you won't have to pay next quarter etc.That is the easiest way I can think of to bulk spend 2.5k. Otherwise, but 2.5k worth of woolies gift card?

    Ok I'll post my 2c here, be careful which link you use. ANZ is notorious for not backing out annual fees if the incorrect link was used. in my my case even though i sent out the link with the fee free first year, they still didnt back out the annual fee.

      I had the same experience. Received quite a bit of push back over the phone when I called to double check that the Total Annual Fee waiver had been applied to my application.

      They repeatedly stated that the link that I had used was invalid or expired.

      Luckily, I'd saved the hyperlink and took screenshots of the T&Cs clearly stating that the Total Annual Fee (Annual Fee + Reward Program Services Fee) would be waived in the first year.

      Tldr; Take screenshots of the T&Cs and save the hyperlink to cover yourselves.

        Well, i had to fax (they don't even have an email) them the link I had used and after a couple of days received a letter saying I must have been the incorrect link. Anyway, i called them again yesterday, they backed out the 370 annual fees but not the 55 rewards fee. Scammers.
