                @timhn: thanks for the response, strange though.

                did u spend on government charges? like utility bills or rego?

                i did, maybe thats why we spent 3k and the points arent showing

                • timhn on 17/11/2020 - 15:09

                  @victimized: @victimized, you probably right. I've a look at the statement and there were nearly $1K for Water & Council.

        • G77 on 15/11/2020 - 15:03

          Same boat. Points not posted yet. Did you have a screenshot of the 75K offer by any chance? Poor form from Westpac.

          • Ash-Say on 15/11/2020 - 15:33

            @G77: It still shows 75k points if you click on cards when you are logged in.

            • thomalfa on 26/11/2020 - 14:11

              @Nohtyp: able to find out what's the T&C???

              I owned WP credit card but cancelled in May 2020. I'm just wondering if this applies to a customer who owned a card but less than 12mths.

              Besides I do not have a transaction with them, hence can't see the term. My online banking has been suspended.

              Cheers

    • JohnSy on 16/11/2020 - 10:48

      I have 60K bonus showing on my statement. (not credited to qantas account yet). I still have not got my physical card yet lol. Purchases all done with digital card.

      • JohnSy on 17/11/2020 - 08:16

        60K bonus is now in qantas account today.

        • JohnSy on 17/11/2020 - 22:23

          Rang rewards customer service today 1300 881 645 - they are looking into the 60K vs 75K issue.

            @JohnSy: Got this email today after calling on the 17/11:

            Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your enquiry.

            We are sorry to hear that you did not get the amount of bonus points expected.

            We are pleased to inform you that the additional 15,000 points have now been allocated to your rewards account and will be transferred to your Qantas account on your next cycle date.

            We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we appreciate your understanding.

            • Ash-Say on 20/11/2020 - 06:34

              @JohnSy: I also rang them on 17/11, however yet to hear back.

              I was advised the case has been opened and someone will revert to me.

                @Ash-Say: Just got an email confirming the allocation of points. Will appear in my Qantas account on next billing cycle.

            • curiousman on 14/04/2021 - 16:19

              @JohnSy: Hi john,

              What did you say during the call with the Westpac team on the 17/11?

              Ive tried calling numerous times and they deny the bonus 15k points.

              It was already a hassle as they didnt even credit me the points to begin with and after 11 outbound dials from myself, they finally credited me 60k points which is incorrect.

              its so frustrating dealing with their customer service team.

    • Nohtyp on 16/11/2020 - 16:25

      They hit me with a $99 card fee last Friday, I think there must be some sort of system glitch, that applied the current offer to us (60k points, $99 annual card fee).

      Will have to call them now, did you manage to call them today?

    • dalthebargainhunter on 18/11/2020 - 14:50

      I've also only had 60k Qantas points added to my account (spent $5000 on furniture). Called CS today and they said their offer with the Altitude Platinum card has only ever been 60k Qantas points in the past 2 years…? (Which is clearly wrong). Think I might wait the 3 months before disputing the points.

  • victimized on 15/11/2020 - 16:00

    nice… $50 qantas rewards fee? who tf even charges this nowadays..

    • spiff on 16/11/2020 - 12:04

      Yeah I came back to point out the same charge. Not advertised on the post :(

      • Valjew on 07/12/2020 - 10:38

        Same here - this hit my account a few days ago. Oh well… :/

    • timhn on 17/11/2020 - 15:06

      St George, WPac and I believe BOM as well.

  • arctan on 17/11/2020 - 19:55

    Might get this one but is St George offer better?

  • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 20/11/2020 - 13:06

    I had some follow up for salary and to documentation confirming other cards are now churned, but within an hour or two, listed as declined? Anyone know why they bother going through all the rigmarole when they already have the information on hand? Would it help to call and ask them to review?

  • alterego13 on 22/11/2020 - 20:46

    How long did it take for people to receive their credit card?
    I got approved on 27th October, been using the virtual card but I still haven't received the physical card.
    I know Auspost is having delays but this seems too long! Received my debit card from the Westpac Choice account that I opened two days prior to opening the credit card, but no sign of the credit card.

    • Chickenleg on 22/11/2020 - 21:31

      Approved October 16, got it about a week later.

    • Moo Deng on 22/11/2020 - 21:59
      +2

      Exact same thing happened to me.

      Choice card arrived within a few days.

      Credit card took 16 days. I ended up reporting the credit card as lost in the mail after 12 days, so when it arrived on day 16 it was already cancelled.
      Now I am still waiting for the replacement card to be sent out :(

  • Fusakin on 23/11/2020 - 18:14

    I too had only 60k bonus points on my statement. Gave Westpac a call and they said there is 15k points sitting in my account that will be transferred over in the next month.

    • Fusakin on 06/12/2020 - 22:22
      +1

      Really strange. I see 30k bonus points posted on my Qantas account on the 22/11 so I received 90k points in total. This was before calling them so I wonder if I'm gonna get an additional 15k points. I'll just have to wait and see.

      • Fusakin on 20/12/2020 - 10:00

        The extra 15k bonus points arrived on 17/12. Winning.

  • synn on 24/11/2020 - 20:27

    Does anyone happen to know if bond payments in NSW count as "government charges"?

  • S7iCkSt3R on 25/11/2020 - 00:43

    I only got credited 30k points, will wait for the next bill cycle, but a bit weird that it's different to everyone else

  • homelessguy on 02/12/2020 - 09:07

    was slugged the $99 annual card fee, called and had the fee refunded.

  • alishaikh on 05/12/2020 - 11:28

    Good deal amongst current offers available.

  • Save Medicare on 10/12/2020 - 08:13

    Got my first statement but no bonus points?

  • Clenched Cheeks on 11/12/2020 - 13:41

    Does using this to pay off your zip balance count towards the $3000 spending minimum?

  • andrew7531 on 13/12/2020 - 19:22

    Website is showing 60,000 Qantas points with $99 annual fee - has this now ended?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 15/12/2020 - 05:07

      The offer is for existing customers - have to check in the internet banking links

  • timhn on 15/12/2020 - 16:34

    To anyone who received the bonus points, did you see the bonus point in your statement?

    I've spent over $4K and now on my 2nd statement but the bonus point still showing 0.

    • Mr-Kurns on 15/12/2020 - 21:02

      Same for me…i've spent $3.5k within the 3 month timeframe and got my statement today. Bonus points still show 0. Not sure if there's some lag and it'll show on the next statement??

      • maverick1 on 15/12/2020 - 21:41

        same here mate - spent close to 4k, got my 2nd statement today but no signup points, will miss out on the 15% bonus points on Krisflyer transfer

        Will give Westpac a call tomorrow to see where things are - expect to hear the rhetorical - 90 day wait period after hitting the min spend

        • chartparker on 16/12/2020 - 07:52

          The app says 12 weeks until bonus points are received

          • timhn on 16/12/2020 - 15:47

            @chartparker: It's just standard T&C.

            Given this promo was started in 14/Oct, if applied on that day, most people should be just on their second statement month - and some already got the bonus points.

        • timhn on 16/12/2020 - 15:50

          Maverick1, did you manage to call them?

          • maverick1 on 17/12/2020 - 15:30

            @timhn: yes, I did, was told I hit my min spend on 17th nov, so expect to have it latest by 15th Feb
            And call them again after 15th Feb if the points are not credited

        • kdubs on 20/12/2020 - 09:50

          Same situation. Spent close to 4k in 1st statement. Still no bonus points on my 2nd statement.

      Same situation for me. Second statement, no bonus points. I have spent in excess of $5K. Bit annoying, other banks definitely better.

        ANZ is always the worst anyway lol

        • Xizor on 20/01/2021 - 11:36

          I used to think so. Past 2 ANZ accounts i've had were faultless from sign up, points without much delay, easy to deal with. Way better than Westpac imo lately.

          • louuisc on 20/01/2021 - 11:53

            @Xizor: I cannot agree. For example, they still require you to mail back the DD form. Errr…

      • Ash-Say on 21/12/2020 - 13:39

        2.5months

        Bonus 60k arrived in first statement. Had to wait another month for 15kmas they were manually applied by Westpac

    • Moo Deng on 21/12/2020 - 23:38

      Where did they refund the $50 too if you account is closed? Are they sending you a cheque?

      • Ash-Say on 22/12/2020 - 06:55

        I also have Westpac choice account with them.

    • Autonomic on 05/01/2021 - 08:36

    • Autonomic on 12/01/2021 - 15:35

      You get a digital card via the app. I added it to google pay immediately and had no issues using it.

      • Networks919 on 12/01/2021 - 18:06

        Ahh okay. I eventually got the digital card working, just waited longer then usual for it.

  • Xizor on 18/01/2021 - 08:10

    • timhn on 18/01/2021 - 19:50

      I've checked my 3rd statement this morning and, lo and behold, saw bonus points in it. Went check at Qantas and also saw the points in there.

      Account is now closed.

      • Xizor on 18/01/2021 - 20:04

        Lucky you. I hit the min spend within first few weeks easily. When i called them to ask whats up today they were vague and said all this stuff about bpay doesnt count, paypal doesnt count (paypal? wtf) and to wait until next statement. Slowest bank for anything. Nightmare from day 1 when they locked my account using the digital card then wasted hours of my time in store trying to fix.

      Yes

  • bobwokeup on 22/01/2021 - 23:36

    Sounds like most are going for the Qantas points. How much is 75000 points worth? The 100000 altitude points for $450 gift cards sounds more appealing but is it?

    • frazel on 06/02/2021 - 08:10

      It depends on how you use the q points, flights are 36k bris to nz return excluding fees. Normally flights are around 500 including fees, so about $350 per ticket, so you get about $700 if you go this way.

  • tanksinatra on 30/01/2021 - 11:45

      Don’t they have 3 months to give the bonus points?

        • frazel on 06/02/2021 - 15:21

          Apologies, I misread the description.

          Hornet, this is long running deal and they have extended it multiple times, so there's a good chance of it being extended again just no one has confirmed and updated the description

            +2

            @frazel: Looks like the deal has been extended to the 31st of March 2021.

            They have also now extended this to Velocity points as well (75K velocity points for the same $50 Rewards Fee)

            I have just applied for this now. Didn't get an instant approval, not sure if that is a thing with Westpac or not.

            • frazel on 07/02/2021 - 22:53

              @Helmutson: Nice you should report it so the moderator can update the posts description

  • thomalfa on 10/02/2021 - 14:00

    For those who got the offer, can please advise how this deal actually works?

    If you own or owned a transaction account, does it count as an existing customer?

    • Networks919 on 18/02/2021 - 18:57

      Yes I signed up for the transaction account as part of the $50 deal and I was eligible for the special 75k QFF application.

  • obg242 on 22/02/2021 - 14:36

    I applied Friday, checked with their application checking tool today and it says I've been declined. But after calling them, I was told it's still with their senior team to check payslips etc.

  • RickyBaker on 26/02/2021 - 18:11

    If I sign up for a Westpac Savings account, would I be eligible for this deal, or does it have to be a transaction account?

    • bobwokeup on 26/02/2021 - 23:12

      I thought a savings account is a transaction so my guess would be yes but check with Westpac to be sure.

      • RickyBaker on 27/02/2021 - 11:12

        Just had a look, all Westpac Savings accounts come bundled with a transaction account that has monthly fees, so no way to get around it
