Edit 2: Simply join AustralianSuper, contribute a minimum of $350 within 6 months and you’ll earn 20,000 bonus Qantas Points*. Offer ends 30th June 2019 extended to 31 Dec 2019.

        I lodged a complaint with AFCA, and then I got refunded all the insurance fees deducted by Australian Super. But it was an annoying and completely unnecessary faff about. Just glad I took screenshots of my application, so if needed I could prove I opted out of all insurance. Then rolled over balance into my usual super once insurance was refunded and points were awarded.

        So PSA as follows: do NOT supply your employer details to Australian super, so in step 2, "Employment", make sure you answer "No" to "will your employer be contributing to your super?"

    Just want to put in my 2 cents here

    Excluding points for flights I would think of 20000 points to be $133 worth (Woolies auto rewards 750 points = $5) (150 points = $1)

    Correction to OP - get points in 6 months - it should be 'You’ll receive 20,000 Qantas Points 2-3 months after the minimum contribution of $350'

    And lets say 3 months of admin fees are charged $2.25 x 12 weeks = $27.00 maybe add another 2 weeks of fees if there is slow processing = $31.50

    Real value would be around $100.00 for 20000 points for those who are thinking of opening up, get the points and then GTFO

    I am with Aus Super and use their Member Direct option which I pay around $400 in admin fees a year for that service because they are one of the very few super funds that lets you pick your own specific stocks and ETFs. Not too sure of their standard balance fund but if you want to save on admin fees, the standard index funds would be the way to go depending on your risk profile.

    • bsm2122 on 10/05/2019 - 16:44

      You would be a fool to spend Qantas points on gift cards. You can easily sell points for at least 1 cent a point on ebay or gumtree. So 20,000 is worth at least $200.

      • Poor Ass on 10/05/2019 - 16:45

        oh yeh… how do you sell the points? got a guide?

    The best way to utilize the offer is

    Today : Join Australian Super so that you are eligible for this offer.
    Make your first contribution on 1st July, 2019. So that your account will be active as of 1st July and wait for 2-3 months. Whatever time it takes you will never be charged more 3% of $350 as fees (https://treasury.gov.au/consultation/c2018-t286292)

    Let me know if I have missed any facts.

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 10/05/2019 - 15:39

      Excellent guide.

      What if I have used AustralianSuper in the past but closed my account?

      Nvm

      This offer is available only to Qantas Frequent Flyer members who join AustralianSuper for the first time - simply follow the steps below.

      • WaywardOne on 10/05/2019 - 15:55

        (Please don't judge me for this)
        1. What is the cheapest way to join Qantas frequent flyer club?
        2. And is there any way of transferring the points in to cash?

        Q1 answer: free https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/352785

      • Edinburgh on 10/05/2019 - 16:27

        I think it shouldn't matter till the time your old account is closed. You can try looging into your old account. If you are not able to l, you should be eligible to get a new one.

        Qanatas account is free via many sources as far as i know.

    • Poor Ass on 10/05/2019 - 20:24

      Why do you recommend contribution on 1 July rather than asap When the account is activate?

      • Edinburgh on 11/05/2019 - 21:40

        Apologies, forgot to mention that, the above 3% rule will be applicable post 1st July.

        • Poor Ass on 11/05/2019 - 21:48

          Yup I thought that was the case but still nothing has been officially legalised that I can see yet

          By the way if you open the account to now, won't they just accure the admin fees sooner and take it out of the $350 when it is deposited? Maybe open in last 2weeks in June is better.

          • Edinburgh on 12/05/2019 - 13:44

            @Poor Ass: If you open an account now you are eligible for offer. But your fees should only be deducted after your account goes active which is post first contribution.

            Law has already been passed to be effective from 1st july to not to deduct fees more than 3%.

            • Poor Ass on 12/05/2019 - 19:53

              @Edinburgh: Ya I believe ya… I just can't find it

            • jackofspade on 22/05/2019 - 21:38

              @Edinburgh: Fees are deducted after your first contribution however it is backdated to the day you created the account.

          • mocha_latte on 14/05/2019 - 23:48

            @Poor Ass: There have been reports (such as this) of the passage of the law in Feb, including the 3% cap.

            I agree that the admin fee will accrue sooner, but the super fund trustee is required to refund you the difference within 3 months of account closure. Check out "Example 2.4" from the actual Bill here.

            I admit I have no idea as to how the refund gets to you in practice…

            • Poor Ass on 15/05/2019 - 08:41

              @mocha_latte: I got something official about the 3% now from my superfund

        • Gaz1 on 14/05/2019 - 17:21

          The offer says you must contribute before 30th June.

          • mocha_latte on 14/05/2019 - 23:52

            @Gaz1: I think the requirement is join before 30 June, then contribute within 6 months of joining.

            @Gaz1: Incorrect

          • Gaz1 on 22/05/2019 - 20:47

            @Gaz1: Oops - sorry, I misread the offer. It says:
            "To be eligible for this offer, you must join AustralianSuper via this page before 30 June 2019 and contribute at least $350 within the first six months"

            So it sounds like it is best to sign up now & wait until after 1st July to contribute to potentially minimise fees.

  • shockme79 on 10/05/2019 - 16:40

    Anyone with Australian Super have any feedback/recommendations regarding their pre-mixed options? E.g Balanced, High Growth..etc

    • Poor Ass on 10/05/2019 - 16:45

      if you are looking for performance then it varies from option to option

      but overall their service I would say is acceptable

      I'm a big fan of their Direct Member service

    • Edinburgh on 11/05/2019 - 21:42

      I am with high growth and I got negative earning this year till last review in december. But pist december I am on positive.

      • Bargainbag on 12/05/2019 - 10:55

  • virhlpool on 10/05/2019 - 21:14

    Is there a way to connect Aus Super account with Qantas Frequent Flyer account for the existing Aus Super members?

    • megadeth on 10/05/2019 - 22:45

      No I think it's to lure more new customers only. Why would they give you points if you're already stuck with them. The thing with super is kind of like a home loans (probably even worse)… you can't switch without incurring penalties… and losing investment values…

      • virhlpool on 12/05/2019 - 01:36

        I was just checking about connecting both accounts (Aus Super and QFF) for any future purpose even if they don't give points to the existing Aus Super customers right now.

      • virhlpool on 12/05/2019 - 01:37

        Is there a penalty while exiting a super and moving to another super fund?

        • megadeth on 12/05/2019 - 11:53

          I think you indirectly pay penalties in terms of investment value drop plus any applicable exit fees

  • rezok on 11/05/2019 - 09:09

    Thanks OP. Signed up both myself and wife to the Balanced fund, no employer contribution (will keep our individual ones where they are).

    The portal isn't so clear on where/how to add the $350?

    Our plan is to keep a seperate account from the work super and add funds here and there where we can.

    Anyone help?

    • iceshadow on 22/05/2019 - 14:53

      You have to fund your account via BPay. The biller code and account number should be on the right hand side once you sign into your account

  • QFFlyer on 11/05/2019 - 12:56

    Any data points for how quickly the points turned up?

    Also, how long does it take to rollover? My OH rolled in from Care Super, and it took about four weeks to show up online (backdated to the date or rollover though). I've just rolled over from VicSuper, so will see how that goes.

    • b3au on 17/05/2019 - 21:46

      Mine took about 5 days to roll over from First State, (even though FSS cut off my online access pretty much immediately)

      Same. Actually contributed more than the $350 to this Fund, preferring their App over my existing Fund’s and will wait till the annual statements for 2019 issued to then decide on which one to consolidate into. Haven’t compared their insurance offers so that may be a key decision factor.

          If you haven't received the points yet, lodge a complaint with AFCA. I got the impression Australian Super were ignoring me (was charged an insurance fee when I had opted out of all insurance), until I reported it to AFCA, but I had read so may pages & pages of bad reviews of their customer service that I only waited a few days, as I no longer have patience for companies that ignore/dismiss/downplay legitimate complaints.

  • concento on 29/08/2019 - 18:27

    So if I transfer the $350 back into my primary super account BEFORE the points are in my QFF account, does that mean I may be ineligible for the points?

    • CyberMurning on 29/08/2019 - 18:39

      Better do live chat with them to confirm. If me I will wait for the points. Just put that $350 into stable or low risk fund and you'll be fine
