  No you can't.

  St George, Bank of Melbourne and Bank of SA all fall within the same branch, owned by Westpac. Same terms and conditions apply for them - if you have owned one in the last 12 months, you can't take advantage of another bank's promotion.

    Does that apply to a Westpac branded card as well? E.g. Can I get the bonus points on a St George card if I've had a Westpac card in the last 12 months?

    Thx

      OP what you can probably do however is have the St George card and the Westpac card.

      bargainhunter87's post had me worried for a minute so did some digging to make sure what I initially thought is (probably) right. I applied for the BoM Amplify Platinum a few months back and already received my 50K QFF points.

      Last month I applied for the Westpac Altitude Platinum and have almost hit the spend crtieria for its bonus QFF points (60K from memory).

      1) Can't tell if Amplify = Altitude
      2) Looking at T&C - BoM says cannot have an Amplify card issued by one of the other Westpac entities but does not mention Westpac itself. Westpac just says cannot have had another Altitude card and doesn't mention the other Westpac entities.

      To me it seems you can have both cards - or at least the T&C aren't clear about it that you could make an argument over it.

      BoM:

      Westpac:

        Thanks.

        I had the St George Amplify a few months ago and cancelled it once I got my points.

        I also got the Westpac altitude and I'm nearly there in terms of spends. :)

        I have some expenses coming up in the next month or so and was looking for cheap options to earn QFF points is concerned. Not eligible for ANZ its not yet been 12 months since I last had that one.

        Quick question - If I've held the ANZ QFF Black and the Rewards Black in the past 12 months, can I apply for the ANZ Rewards travel adventures and get the 80k bonus velocity points if I hit my spends?

        I know its not QFF but I am wondering if I can swap the velocity points for QFF with someone.

          @neovin: Yes that is fine - ANZ Rewards is considered different family to the QFF ones.

            @Shadowsfury: Thanks @shadowsfury.

            Is it also different to Rewards Black?
