I was looking to get a new phone from JB HiFi and came across this $400 gift card deal from St George when you apply for a new Amplify Platinum credit card with Amplify Rewards. You need to spend $3000 in the first 90 days of card approval to get a $400 gift card from either one of 3 shops- JB HiFi, Flight Centre or Bunnings. $99 Annual Fee. Excludes customers who currently hold a Amplify, Amplify Platinum or Amplify Signature credit card or have held one in the last 12 months.

Bank of Melbourne has the same $400 gift card offer but you can choose from 3 different gift cards - Sunglass Hut, Sephora or Uber: https://www.bankofmelbourne.com.au/personal/credit-cards/aff…

    Good deal fyi also

    $49
    annual card fee
    for the first year.

    $99 thereafter

    • Where does it say $49 annual card fee for the first year? I can't see it on this deal - says $99 on the page.

    • Where do you see the discounted card fee??

      • I don't think it's on this page. They have that on their regular bank page with bonus points not gift card…

        • You both are correct apologies

          https://www.stgeorge.com.au/personal/credit-cards/rewards/am…

          Discounted first year in above link at the bottom of page. But this is not the same as the OP deal as 100,000 points is over 2 years.

          Therefore OP deal is $99 per year. Sorry to confuse

          • @Lucille Bluth: Looks like you get Amplify points with this AND you need to spend $6k AND you only get 70k Amplify points in the first year…how much is 70k Amplify points worth? "Receive 70,000 bonus Amplify Points in year 1 plus a further 30,000 in year 2 when you spend at least $6,000 each year on eligible purchases on your new Amplify Platinum card.+ For example: 100,000 Amplify points currently gets you up to 50,000 Velocity points or $450 in e-Gift cards with Amplify Rewards.>"

    Free money laundering with the card

    Just an friendly reminder that ensure you can pay off your credit card spendings.
    Example
    $3,000 x 19.74% = $592.2 interest per year

    • I dont think anyone pays interest on credit card purchase.

        😂

    • if you cant pay off before interest free period you shouldnt be getting a card anyway

    Not doing business with Banks that don't abide to money laundering legislation especially that they have had a role in pedophiles access to child abuse material from Asia

    • Asking as genuinely as possible, what bank(s) managed to keep a clean record?

        None. They all do it because it’s hard to catch them all. And balance that against complaints if they’re over zealous.

        But people will believe anything the media feeds them.

        • Perfectly said. Just like how customs can’t catch all drug imports and so the government is helping drug cartels.

          It’s a balance between speed of money transfer/service vs risk.

          In some countries like PNG, people have to apply to government for approval, get a transfer I’d and then go to the bank to initiate international transfer.

        • Exactly. Oh well, I guess it's "fresh" still so people will neg.
          Where as HSBC's scandal now happened 7 years ago, everyone's forgiven and forgotten.

    I won't do business with these scumbags on principle. They'd rather have a dead customer on their hands vs one that is still alive who can easily pay down a debt in the near future!

  • Looks like a good deal. $300 profit

  • Banks are getting really smart with the minimum 12 month period.

  • Is it this card which gives car rental insurance and priority pass access?

    • Priority pass is the amplify black

  • Can't find anything on minimum salary and credit card limit required….

  • Can anyone else apply? looks like it is offline
