Hi all,
Wondering if there are any good credit card sign up deals floating around at the moment, or if it is worth waiting until the new year? Looking to continue the churn.
I currently have the ANZ travel adventures card which renews in March so plan on cancelling before then. I'm probably not eligible for any AmEx deals as I had one earlier this year.
Anything like that for Velocity?
For amex deals, u could sign up to bank issued amex too as it counts separately (eg see westpac)
Which Amex did you have previously? If you had a directly issued Amex you can't apply for another until 18 months has passed - however you can get a Westpac issued or David Jones Amex in the meantime - they will not exclude you from bonuses whilst you wait out the 18 months - so you could churn with one of their cards.
I personally have this bundle via Westpac (note - you can only get Amex via Westpac by having one of their other cards, hence the 'bundle' - but you can cancel the Westpac one down the track and keep the Amex going)
There are 3 bundles, depending on your income, choose the most appropriate. They offer 3 choices regarding points - Velocity is one of them. You can also switch between Velocity to Qantas with the Westpac cards, without having to get a new card - don't think you can do it frequently but I think it's a great feature. Or use their own reward point system, Altitude Rewards. The below link to the guides is a good way to compare which rewards program to choose;

David Jones Amex has a choice of 2 cards, but they are linked to Qantas points or David Jones points;

As for non Amex cards, there are only a bajillion to choose from - peruse the deals on credit cards via OzB - these change frequently so i doubt anyone can tell you if there will be better deals in the future…
