Big kudos to ravendr for posting this deal for the platinum card @ 60k points for $50 fee. I just took that link and changed the "platinum" in the link to "black" and it came up with this great offer!

    Seems like they're offering 40K QFF for signing up to the American Express Altitude Black Card and sending $3k if you have the Westpac AB, can anyone from this offer confirm they're eligible if you press "apply now"? Might be targeted.

    • bohn on 21/10/2019 - 21:25

      ~ Bonus points promotion: Offer only available to selected Westpac Altitude and Earth cardholders who apply online for the new American Express Westpac Altitude Black Card between 27th June 2019 to 12th December 2019, or by the dates specified in your invitation, whichever comes first

      I mean, this offer was meant to be targeted as well, so who knows ;)

      Some people in this thread have received offers for 20k previously.. eg

      Westpac customer. Got the card with $0 annual fee confirmed and a week later an offer on the Amex with $20k also for $0 fee. So all in, 100k points for $0 annual fee.

      I haven't received an offer yet.

      Could try chatting with Westpac and saving it as evidence I guess ;)

  • bohn on 23/10/2019 - 08:42

    Statement says points have been issued but it seems to take quite a long time to be sent to velocity. Longer than usual.

  • Gazpacho on 29/10/2019 - 15:51

    Going to apply soon:

    I think the most conservative approach is:
    Sign up for bank account first
    Sign up for card after bank account clears?

    • bohn on 30/10/2019 - 14:12
      +1

      yes, signup to the choice account to get an extra $50 if you do few things that it asks you to.
      you can signup for the card once you can login to internet banking on the choice account.

      • lovepub on 05/11/2019 - 21:26

        Is this only target to 25yr old under??

        • bohn on 06/11/2019 - 18:02

          no

  • Gotchas on 05/11/2019 - 19:00

    Has anyone received their qantas invites from purchasing qantas carbon offsets yet?

    • Darkii on 09/11/2019 - 02:07

      Nothing for me, been 2 months

      you should always take a screenshot ! :)
      did you miss the deal and trying to get them to honour it..? ;)

      • bobwokeup on 10/11/2019 - 18:02

        Will definitely have to do that in the future. I got the deal over a month ago but just noticed the edit says for existing customers only.

        Haven't called them yet but assume they will say for existing customers only so was hoping to get some evidence first :)

        • chk on 10/11/2019 - 19:45

          you would have received a letter/email detailing your card details such as credit limit and annual fee

          • bobwokeup on 10/11/2019 - 20:38

            @chk: Yeah I've got that but doesn't say anything about the bonus points. Should it mention that??

              +1

              @bobwokeup: don't think so. let me know if u run into any problems.. I didn't get anything in writing about the 80k points but still got it on my 2nd statement.
              I wouldn't worry.

  • Seven8Nine on 10/11/2019 - 20:43

    For those who opted for velocity points, is there a way to redeem a lounge passes instead of booking flights option ?

    Got card month ago, bonus point credited already
    Now time to cancel the card, thinking of redeeming other perks but only option seems to be buying a flight via card then can redeem lounge passes l.

    Is there a cheaper way around ?

    • chillybags on 10/11/2019 - 20:52
      +1

      I had a flight already booked with them (free flight from an anz card) i payed my carbon offset which equated to $5.30 and it unlocked the lounge passes and economy x.

      • Seven8Nine on 10/11/2019 - 21:23

        Great tip, I will try carbon offset but have not booked flight under my name but there is one for wife.. I will still try

        • chillybags on 10/11/2019 - 21:40
          +1

          You can use any card to pay for the carbon offset, shouldn’t be an issue

          • Seven8Nine on 10/11/2019 - 21:53

            @chillybags: I was looking for an option to buy carbon offset ( using virgin au app) no luck so far.
            But isnt the condition that you should pay via Westpac master card so get free lounge pass and upgrade voucher for econ.x

            Also do you have link by chance for buying carbon offset

            • chillybags on 10/11/2019 - 22:29
              +1

              @Seven8Nine: It was under the manage my booking section. Just chuck your confirmation code and name into the system in the same way you would to select seats and there is an option in there to buy the offset.

              • Seven8Nine on 10/11/2019 - 23:04

                @chillybags: So I need to have booked flight under my name for that to work? Sorry to many questions

                • chillybags on 11/11/2019 - 19:07
                  +1

                  @Seven8Nine: Any virgin booking - doesnt matter who booked it or what name it is under. If you have a friend who has booked a virgin flight just ask if you can pay for their carbon offset using your westpac card. It just comes up as a virgin spend on your card and triggers the lounge passes and economy x.

                  • starburstyellow on 16/11/2019 - 12:14

                    @chillybags: I've paid a friend's carbon offset now. Where do I go see if I have received the economy x and lounge passes?

                    • chillybags on 16/11/2019 - 12:16

                      @starburstyellow: Takes up to 10 days. Then just log into my velocity and scroll down and it should say it down there under benefits

  • lovepub on 11/11/2019 - 15:05

    For bonus points, the online chat keeps referring back to saying as long as card is approved and activated between october and Feb next year, then I will be eligible.

    Which It should mean i am eligible for the 80k points. But I was hoping for a straight upfront answer, YES u will get it when meeting 4k spent.

    Does everyone get the same response??

  • chk on 11/11/2019 - 18:40

    Maybe try a different agent? They were able to advise that I had signed up with the specific code to receive the 80k if I met the spend eligibility.

    • lovepub on 11/11/2019 - 19:15

      What code??

      • chk on 11/11/2019 - 20:38

        Your application would have been populated with the 80k bonus code. I'll have a scan of this thread to see if someone posted it

      • spitfire6 on 11/11/2019 - 22:47
        +1

        I believe that's the "WABDB" someone mentioned earlier. It was pre-populated through the original application link anyway.

        • chk on 11/11/2019 - 22:59

          just got home and saw this. CHAMP!

  • His_Holiness on 14/11/2019 - 13:24

    Success. Took 2 statement periods to spend $4,000 on the card. Most recent statement lists 80,000 bonus points accrued and it landed in my Velocity account this morning. For the record I was not an existing customer of Westpac and didn't both to open a transaction account or w/e before applying for the credit card.

  • starburstyellow on 23/11/2019 - 12:16
    +1

    Got my points after 40 days from opening, and also on first statement. What happened was I didnt like the statement cycle, so called up to change it to bit later date. I managed to get minimum spend going over what would have been my first cycle date. as a result i had basically 40 days on my first statement rather than usual 28-30 days. Got points few days after first statement generated.

    Might be worth doing for some people so you get the points earlier. If I didnt do anything regarding my statement cycles, i would have only gotten the points after 2 cycles (based on my spending).

    • bobwokeup on 23/11/2019 - 16:14

      Whaaaaaaaaaat. I made my spend in the first couple of weeks and still haven't got it after the 2nd statement. Called them and said you'll get it - wait for up to 90 days…

      • starburstyellow on 23/11/2019 - 16:17

        Oh no :( . Have you got your daily spend going to your velocity though?

        • bobwokeup on 23/11/2019 - 20:01

          Sure do so at least I've got that haha :)

          • starburstyellow on 23/11/2019 - 20:18

            @bobwokeup: Ok that's good. My fear with every card application is that I don't get the bonus, so having the monthly spend come in before hand always helps relieve that.

            • bobwokeup on 24/11/2019 - 23:56
              +1

              @starburstyellow: Same here so when the points didn’t come through on the 2nd statement I started to worry. Especially as this post now says for existing customers only, even though it was posted on their website.

  • lovepub on 05/12/2019 - 10:04

    Got slapped 250 annual and 50 qantas fee ..

    Called up and asked about it. Lady asked if I signed up from other source website which carrys the promo.

    Then after 2 min wait., she said it will credit onto my second statement.

    Easily done. So fight for it if u got charged.

    • bobwokeup on 05/12/2019 - 10:27

      Dodgy hey. Have you got your bonus points? I'm still waiting…

      • lovepub on 05/12/2019 - 11:00

        No….only spend 3000 in 3 weeks …still working hard on my spend.

        • bobwokeup on 05/12/2019 - 23:57

          Oh fair enough. Give they charged the annual fee already I hope you're setup on the correct deal to get the bonus points.

  • jaypeee on 06/12/2019 - 08:35

    I got my points and cancelled the card. Does this mean I can’t use the lounge passes/upgrade?

    • Gazpacho on 08/01/2020 - 08:52

      I'm interested to know this too

  • timhn on 08/12/2019 - 14:40

      Yes, and cancelled too

    • lovepub on 08/12/2019 - 15:48

      No email invitation. Applied. Waived annual fee. Online chat with staff did mention that between that period for applications, will get bonus points

      Just have to wait and see

      • lovepub on 22/01/2020 - 12:29

        2 statements later….still no sign of 80k points. Both statement exceeds 3000 spend too

        Anyone also on same situation?

  • bobwokeup on 09/12/2019 - 20:10

    Just found out that all PayPal payments aren’t included in the eligible spend. WTF…never heard of that before, I do everything there so I just have to update the credit card there rather than all my direct debits. Has anyone seen this in their T & Cs?

  • rollin on 10/12/2019 - 22:26

    I clicked the application link and it takes you to a westpac login screen for netbanking. Definitely looks like you need to sign in with an existing acc. Looks like i'll need an everyday account…

  • freestyle18 on 18/12/2019 - 15:25

    Scanned the comments but didn't see this. Is it possible to get priority pass while still being registered as velocity points? Have no use for the velocity passes…

    • bohn on 18/12/2019 - 16:55

      you can sell the velocity passes.

      • freestyle18 on 18/12/2019 - 16:59

        They're loaded on your account though. which are non transferrable no?

        " The Virgin Australia domestic lounge passes will then be available in your Velocity Frequent Flyer account within 10 business days,"

        • bohn on 18/12/2019 - 17:04

          sorry, I've had so many cards lately I must be mixed up :)

        • bobwokeup on 06/01/2020 - 18:42

          When I got Qantas lounge passes I'm sure it was loaded onto my account as I was able to sell them. Thought it would be the same for Velocity?

          • freestyle18 on 06/01/2020 - 19:41

            @bobwokeup: yes but non transferrable.

            • bobwokeup on 07/01/2020 - 19:37

              @freestyle18: Fair enough thanks for that. If anything I would have thought it would be the other way around. So basically unless you have a Virgin flight booked you can't use them?

  • cheaponos on 03/01/2020 - 22:37

    Is it possible to keep the 80K velocity points in the Westpac account and move to velocity account when there’s a transfer bonus? How would that be done?

    • Seven8Nine on 04/01/2020 - 09:46

      U get velocity points in the velocity account itself not Westpac.

      Unless you are talking about altitude rewards points

      • bohn on 04/01/2020 - 11:08

        Unless you are talking about altitude rewards points

        yeah think you can only do it with altitude points.

      • cheaponos on 04/01/2020 - 12:25

        So you could get the altitude points then convert to velocity?

        • bohn on 04/01/2020 - 12:27

          if you signup to an card that has altitude points you can then convert them to other airline miles, but they usually are not as good value as this deal.

          • cheaponos on 04/01/2020 - 12:29

            @bohn: Thanks. Conversion is 3 altitude = 1 velocity. Definitely not good value.

  • Craze on 04/01/2020 - 14:24

    • bohn on 04/01/2020 - 17:38

      you shouldn't need to.
      just screenshot the application.

          On the web address bar once you click into the "Apply now" link for the card. Somewhere on the link it would say "promo=" and I replaced it with the one previously mentioned on this thread.

  • gamefreak on 01/02/2020 - 11:02

    Anyone else having issues with westpac crediting points to their velocity account? Not even the bonus points but just the normal points from monthly spends. I've had the card since october but they've only credited points for one statement and have been calling them to chase up subsequent statement points? They have the correct velocity details since ive been credited one statements worth already..

    • bohn on 01/02/2020 - 13:57

      Points were all correct on each statement for me.

    Lets hope they honor the $0 annual fee and the 80k Bonus points!

  • drose1 on 06/02/2020 - 23:12

    has anyone here been successful in obtaining the offer even though they've had a westpac rewards card within the last 12 months?

    also, does having a sub-card previously affect your eligibility?

    • ilikedeals on 13/02/2020 - 17:32

      Existing Westpac customers who currently hold an Earth Platinum, Earth Platinum Plus, Earth Black, Altitude Platinum or Altitude Black credit card, or who have held one in the last 12 months, are not eligible for this offer.

      • drose1 on 13/02/2020 - 22:22

        does having a sub-card count towards that?

  • ilikedeals on 13/02/2020 - 17:54

    About to apply - just wanted to confirm:
    1) Have to be an existing Westpac customer i.e. with an internet banking login to apply?
    2) Westpac does not have referral links for existing customers i.e. cannot use a link from a fellow Ozbargainer to earn them bonus points?

    • movieman on 13/02/2020 - 20:09

      Would also like to know.

    • lucyrenegade on 14/02/2020 - 11:47

      Would also like to know. I tried changing the code in the URL, but it seems like it's already applied, and prompts you to sign in. Perhaps that caught onto the change of the promo code.

  • kimba88 on 02/03/2020 - 23:23

    Is it more worth it to pay the $50 to get either velocity or Qantas points?
    Or would it be wise to just sign up with altitude, then wait for velocity to have a bonus transfer option to then transfer all my saved up points?

    • bohn on 03/03/2020 - 14:53

      depends on what you think you want to do with the points.
      I went for velocity and didn't even get charged the $50.
