Similar to the Westpac Altitude Platinum of 2 days ago, but this time for the Altitude Black

Whilst logged in on the homepage, I saw an offer scroll across the screen for the Altitude Black, clicked on it and the offer for $0 fee first year was displayed, Lucky I saved the link , as the offer has yet to reappear.

You will receive an initial 90,000 bonus points if you spend $4,000 or more on eligible purchases within 90 days of card approval + 30,000 points the 2nd year if you stay and pay $250

Requirements:
1. Existing Westpac customer with ability to log in.
2. First log in then come back to this page and click the below link

https://banking.westpac.com.au/secure/forms/SalesEnabler.Pro…

Offer excludes customers who hold/held any Westpac Rewards credit card in the last 12 months. New cards only. Offer ends 11th November 2020

I would have preferred this card but I applied for the Altitude Platinum yesterday and got approved and I was unable to switch. Hope this helps others

Remember, once logged in, click on the link above ….. do not search the Westpac site otherwise the incorrect offer will show

    Does anyone know how long it will take to receive the card after being approved. Need card to spend $1260 from this deal here before it goes Out of stock

      You can access digital card immdiately, so it can be added into Google/Apple pay for instore purchase.

        Or online as well since they also generate a temp CVV for 24hr.

        • gotz on 18/10/2020 - 14:55

          I have a similar issue, card approved yesterday and want to stock up on Woolworths eGift cards before the discount ends on Tuesday.

          Tried to use the digital card but received a generic error message (We're unable to display your card details online. Please call 1300 651 089). 25 minutes on the phone to eventually be advised that there is a internal system message stating that I will need to redo the 100 point ID check at a branch…

            @gotz: Westpac are useless in this case, I had a similar terrible experience yesterday.

            I purchased Woolies GC and authorised the transaction via OTP so successfully received the card. After 1 hour, Westpac sent email that my internet banking had been blocked and I must visit branch to do 100 point ID check. I spoke with the customer service who said they can't help. My card had also been blocked and I must visit their branch.

            I had to make a large payment, so I used another card and missed the opportunity to meet spending criteria. Bastards!!

              @Ash-Say: Can confirm Westpac are useless. Two phone calls, one branch visit and a webchat to finally be advised that the digital card will not work for unactivated credit cards (other than replacement cards). This of course directly contradicts the welcome email I received.

      • tunzafun001 on 22/10/2020 - 19:34

        Ive been approved. Will this be in the app?

        • tunzafun001 on 22/10/2020 - 23:47

          Found the temp digital card under 'services' side menu in the app (after clicking on the mastercard section of the app).

          All up brilliant. This is the first time I got questions about every detail of my finances, but with a couple of calls all approved and made a $4k spend in 24hrs (solar install).

          Btw, No annual fee first year in the letter of offer and I used the insert promo code into link method on 21/10.

  • thestig on 18/10/2020 - 17:46

    Is this deal definitely for the general public and not targeted to certain customers who the deal is supposed to appear for?
    Don't want to end up like this guy… https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/8737970/redir

      It is appearing in the App for existing customers when you click on Product> Credit.

      Westpac can't get away with it…

      • thestig on 18/10/2020 - 18:25

        Is the black offer coming up in the app though? I've looked through the comments and the OP said it scrolled across the top of his screen in internet banking and I can't see anyone else who has seen it without clicking on the link.

        • Ash-Say on 18/10/2020 - 18:29

          Sorry my bad, I was referring to Platinum card.

        • nightelves on 18/10/2020 - 18:31

          If in doubt grab a screenshot of the promotion and call them up once the application is approved.

          • thestig on 18/10/2020 - 18:34

            @nightelves: That's what the person in the comment did and they said the offer wasn't meant for him and wouldn't honour the $0 annual fee…
            It's definitely not coming up in internet banking or the apps in iOS or Android for both myself or my wife.

            • nightelves on 18/10/2020 - 18:35

              @thestig: Happened to my uncle as well but they were able to reverse the charges after he sent through the screenshot.

  • new2melbourne on 18/10/2020 - 20:18

    If i use the link in the post for application, it throws and unexpected error ! So appears they have done some changes to their site to stop this link.

    • nightelves on 18/10/2020 - 20:44

      No they haven't. Did you even read what OP wrote?

      • new2melbourne on 18/10/2020 - 21:43

        Does it work for you anymore? I can't seem to open that page now with the link OP shared…

  • vetopower on 19/10/2020 - 08:46

    Isn't this a bit risky since the annual fee waiver is clearly a targeted offer?

  • Unorthodox on 19/10/2020 - 11:47
    +1

    I called Westpac to confirm whether the fee would be waived and the person checked and said it's showing as waived on their end.

    I'm an existing WBC customer (albeit as at the start of the month).

    • Unorthodox on 20/10/2020 - 17:46

      Going on from this

      Confirmed fee is waived. This is mentioned in my welcome email: (refer to financial table)

      Annual Card Fee $0.00 annual fee in the first year from date of card approval: 19 October, 2020.

      $250.00 thereafter. Charged to your account following the first cash advance, credit purchase transaction or balance transfer and charged to your account in subsequent years on or after the anniversary of the first charge.

      Normally banks just send a generic financial table so I'm glad Westpac sent out a proper one.

      • keejoonc on 21/10/2020 - 15:30

        Is your welcome email subject "You're approved"?

        I clicked on "credit card fact key fact sheet" link and it does not show the fee as being waived for first year for me.

        Not sure if there is another email I should be waiting for?

        Thanks.

        • Unorthodox on 21/10/2020 - 18:19

          This email came a day after the You're Approved email

          • keejoonc on 21/10/2020 - 18:21

            @Unorthodox: Thanks for confirming. Hopefully I will get the same confirmation when I get the email shortly.

  • sdardz on 19/10/2020 - 13:03

    Anyone know the turnaround on them checking payslips? Conditionally approved straight away, and have uploaded my payslips confirming income. Just not sure how long it will take to approve the card fully.

      Based on what people are commenting below, are you going to cancel your application before they hit you with a credit check or just keep on with it?

        Circling back; got a text this morning confirming I am conditionally approved!

      Spoke to a rep and they said that this deal never existed.

      My guess is that this was a targeted deal that they've revoked when they found out it was publicly accessible.

      Knew I should have just signed up the day it popped.. Fingers crossed someone can figure out how to get it again!

      • billybrown on 19/10/2020 - 16:16

        Legend - worked and after applying, called to confirm the annual fee would be waived.

        Also FYI, believe you can speed up your application process by calling and asking them to review it and let you know if anything is missing.

        • Benjamin Dobell on 20/10/2020 - 16:20

          pacman21, people below are unfortunately not having the same experience. Were told the fee won't be waived because they don't have a homeloan with Westpac.

          If you don't mind sharing, do you have a homeloan with them?

    • tunzafun001 on 22/10/2020 - 23:52

      Can't + this enough..genius. All worked, no homeloan. Ask no questions, just read/ check the letter of offer once the digital card arrives.

  • new2melbourne on 19/10/2020 - 17:55

I do have a printout of the offer that I applied for, which states the fee is waived the first year, and there is no mention of it only applying to specific types customers. I will challenge them if/when they decide to hit my account with the fee.
