    What’s the minimum credit amount?

    • R1ngSt1nger on 01/04/2021 - 18:11

      It's $15k

      • CyberMurning on 01/04/2021 - 18:14

        most likely correct.
        this is black, higher than platinum (platinum = $7k-ish))

        • R1ngSt1nger on 01/04/2021 - 18:15

          100% correct, I just got one a few months ago.

        Rejected 2 time in 12 months time, in the meantime time I got st George, Westpac and Citibank credit card approved. I suggest don't even try with ANZ.

        Rewards is good for a reason.

          similar like me, but i know other people who got rejected by st george westpac but at the same time got anz cba
          so my point: it is just random like lottery

            @CyberMurning: Better invest the good an hour of time elsewhere than fill in the application and interrogate by the accessor to justify all $ you put into 30 different categories of your expenses.

              @SnoozeAndLose: Rejected by ANZ last month for the 75K Qantas card, and they sent the letter through saying no. An assessor rang back from India and said it should all be ok, and another assessor will call back. Never happened. So i called ANZ Australia and they promised the callback. Never happened. Emailed twice to the ANZCards email address. Never got back to me.

              Got approved for AMEX/St George in the last 12 months without issues. Only ones that have had credit enquiries are ANZ and Citibank. Funny that.

              The first time I got an ANZ card 2 years ago they made me jump through hoops, like six times sending payslips in before I got it approved.

              Never again with ANZ.

                    @adrianhughes1998: Once in 2019 they pinged my credit report 10x for ONE bloody application. I suspect my appl got bounced around different teams and each fool in turn took the process from scratch. Including external credit checking.

                    I got so mad at them. Long story short, I wrote to Experian the credit check co about this and an email attached with ANZ basically admitting their failure to be efficient… but still it took a few back and forth before reinstating my credit scores.

                    ANZ, never again.

                      @directflight: FFS mate, what a joke. You think they would have more professionalism than this, but seems not. Surely they are aware of the issues going on, but just choose to outsource and ignore it all. Sorry to hear that it took all that effort to get your credit score back to normal.

                      @directflight: this is similar to my experience with citibank… got pinged 5x without a good reason for a single application…

                      but I just drop the argument with experian… not worth the time… and if does effect but not that bad… so I let it go…

                      never again to Citibank… just a crap process.

                        @thomalfa: the problem with never again Citi is that you're effectively saying no to like 75% of the deals out there (exaggerating slightly).. they also operate cards under other brands if i'm not mistaken Coles Mastercard, 28 degrees…

                        but i'll just approach cautiously and when i have plenty of credit scores to spare

                        • UrMumsOnlyFan on 09/05/2021 - 13:50

                          @directflight: Citibank is the fifth largest issuer of credit cards (behind the big four) and provide for a number of brands including Coles and Qantas Money. Not 28 Degrees, that's Latitude.

                          They are exiting a number of markets including Australia, which could have an effect on the competitiveness of future offers.

                          when i have plenty of credit scores to spare

                          People should stop obsessing about numerical credit "scores".

                            @UrMumsOnlyFan: Yeah, thanks for the correction on 28d but yes, that's what I meant, they are behind a number of brand offerings.

                            There's no need to obsess over the credit scores but it's important to keep them at a good level especially if you're in the card churn game and as well if you need a few more credit facilities. But happy for you to share your insights otherwise

                            They were referring to any credit card deals where the provider is actually Citibank - e.g. Coles, Qantas Money, Virgin Money, Kogan, etc.

                            i knew 28 degrees card but the term has changed…

                            28 Degrees has nothing to do with Citibank.

                @adrianhughes1998: Likewise experience,

                Takes a good amount of time to fill the form with all the $ in several boxes only to be told that you aren't eligible to receive it. With no solid reason of why being rejected. I have been unsuccessful in obtaining a card from them in recent months, and have been successful in obtaining one from AMEX and Citibank.

                My advice is, just don't bother unless you have a 6 digit income, no mortgages to pay and no kids to manage.

                  @tryingtohelp: If you can, keep going. I did and got mine approved last week. From the time it first got rejected to getting it approved, was about a month.

                  Only got the one phone call at the start saying it should be ok and that they would have a credit assessor call me back. Which never happened.

                  So I kept messaging them on Facebook Messenger where they promised call backs, kept messaging them once a week, called ANZ Australia and they promised a callback. Eventually after 3 weeks I went on ANZ Facebook page and left a public post calling them out for the process.

                  Lo and behold, next morning received a SMS saying I been approved. Didn't even get a callback. After that paperwork and shit arrived within due time, and using the card now.

                  I thought since they dinged my credit score with an enquiry, they better not get away with it.

              • shegeloaf on 25/04/2021 - 17:22

                @adrianhughes1998: ANZ is tough. They made me send payslips and homeloan balances and personal loan etc…

                I only sent 1 of 8 payslips, and 1 of two homeloan statement and my peraonal loan balance.

                I thought no way I would get it. Hahha funny enough I got it.

                Its just a blessing because I had been praying "God give me favour this week". :)

        I got my only ever rejection on a credit card a few years ago from ANZ. No problems in later applications anywhere including Citibank. Maybe they note churning hence the rejection. Good deal but I will be keeping away from it.

    • chartparker on 01/04/2021 - 18:16

      Same. Rejected for the ANZ $500 giftcard offer. No idea how or why they rejected me considering I know many less financially responsible people with several CCs. Actually… maybe that's part of the reason

          I've churned through several ANZ cards - got approved with a $30K limit no questions asked. Although I did pre-emptively send them 4 months of payslips.

    • causeimbatman on 01/04/2021 - 18:45

      ANZ definitely making it difficult.

      Applied for the pointhacks platinum, they are asking for LOTS of paperwork + questions.
      5x payslips (earning between $100-$150k, ppor paid off not enough).

      Plus their credit assesment team in Melbourne is not the easiest to contact.
      They don’t accept incoming calls, they can only call you.
      If you miss their call, it will be 2-3 days before they call again.

      Never been rejected by other banks, and I don’t churn (typically only apply for 1 card per 12 months).

          • trotsky on 19/04/2021 - 17:21

            @causeimbatman: No point relying on the caller ID - ANZ have a VOIP gateway in Melbourne that their global calls exit from - that's why the number you saw was likely something like 03 8654 0000 - which literally means it came from an ANZ office somewhere in the world.

          I think so too. The guy had an indian accent and he didt understand fringe benefits or salary sacrifice. I had to explain it to him. And he kept referring to my car loan as ‘auto loan’ whoch i thought wasnt a commonly used term here.

          • tryingtohelp on 13/04/2021 - 11:49

            @The Frugal One: Fringe benefit does exist in taxation in India, but only to the higher ranks in an organisation and not all. So I can imagine why the person couldn't get it,
            Salary sacrifice is a new term for them for sure.

        Strangely I've had the opposite experience. I'm a churner so I'm going through 3-5 cards a year. Rotating as they come off the 12-month wait. Every time I've applied for ANZ Black Qantas it gets approved with zero contact. I even started my parents on the points game, and they got approved with zero contact, too.

        • nnaa8287 on 26/04/2021 - 01:55

          That's very good. Do you hold any car loan or home loan?

    • UltimateAI on 01/04/2021 - 19:01
      +6

      I got approved, after 3 phone calls. Had to close other cards to be eligible.
      Then they were up in arms about $11 pre-tax super deductions. Final straw was when they said when annualized my fought nightly pay was 5% higher than my current YTD. My employer immediately passed on the revised tax rates, along with minor pay increase!!
      We both have good double incomes, lots of savings and no outstanding balances and no lavish expenses.
      The operator then wanted to see either months of statements or 6 additional pay slips/
      I politely told them this is too difficult and I no longer want the card. I do however wish to speak to a supervisor as I feel the application process is too intrusive especially for someone with such ample savings and excellent credit rating.
      They said they would arrange a call back, and 30mins later received an SMS stating my application had been approved. Guest they didn't want my feedback.

      So yes they are too hard on the wrong people, and probably let the scammers slip through.

    • Easton on 01/04/2021 - 19:13

      The more recent enquiries you have, the more difficult it will be to get approved for future cards. Some providers will blanket reject anyone with more than two enquiries in the past six months.

    • kaykay4 on 02/04/2021 - 10:25

      yep, same got my card in email yesterday.. sigh..

    • PeeDee on 08/04/2021 - 11:55

      Yes, bummer! Me too on the Platinum! I think many of us did.

  • The Frugal One on 01/04/2021 - 18:08

    What choicea of shops do I have for gift cArds and where so you buy these gift carda using the points?

  • Amaris on 01/04/2021 - 18:10

    Be careful. ANZ charge their card customers a separate 'rewards fee' in addition to the annual fee. May not be zero for this

      " For ANZ Rewards Black, a total Annual Fee of $375 applies, which includes a $320 Annual Account Fee and a $55 Rewards Program Service Fee."

      Total fee is waived for the first 12 months.

    • interestingusername on 01/04/2021 - 18:28

      The promo says:

      (including an annual fee, currently $0 for the first year, $375 thereafter).

      and then in the T&Cs:

      "For ANZ Rewards Black, a total Annual Fee of $375 applies, which includes a $320 Annual Account Fee and a $55 Rewards Program Service Fee."

      So sounds like the rewards fee is also waived, right?

  • wildstone on 01/04/2021 - 18:17

    Anyway to check when was the last time a card was cancelled? And do they actually check if you are over the 12 months criteria?

      write down / in excel everytime you got approved and cancelled a credit card

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 01/04/2021 - 19:32

      Annoyingly ANZ don't send an automated email upon card closure.

      Credit Savvy shows your repayment history on cards that they (Experian) know about.

      If the closed card is listed then you should be able to see the month in which your repayments ended.

  • Jaystea on 01/04/2021 - 18:18

    What if we’ve had the frequent flyer black anz card instead. Still eligible? Do they operate under the same rules or separately.

    • Drakesy on 01/04/2021 - 18:20

      Frequent flyer is a different scheme, rewards is treated as a separate one, you'd be eligible.

    • OldBugger on 08/09/2021 - 21:38

      Did you apply? Trying to confirm if having a ANZ frequent flyer card does not affect eligibility

    Anyone know the minimum income required?

    • nightelves on 01/04/2021 - 18:23

      $65k usually for the Black.

    • ozbargainsam on 01/04/2021 - 20:37

      FYI minimum income is more like 'suggested income'. The amount minus expenses is what is important.

      As they don't lost it anymore, the Black Qantas used to be $75k. So $65k seems about right.

    • mr_vino89 on 06/04/2021 - 05:21

      $65k plus fully functioning kidneys and liver :)

  • zan5hin on 01/04/2021 - 18:21

    So they don't even give a minimum income requirement? Just got the Westpac deal last month so I think it's too soon to try for this one.

    • CyberMurning on 02/04/2021 - 09:39

      well this is black card. so just common sense, the market of this card is for people earning… i say …. hmm… $100k and above ?

    Shattered that I have to sit this one out.

    ANZ has the worse CC qualification process out there.

    • onlinepred on 01/04/2021 - 18:47

      Yep, still worth trying though, and calling up a few times after.

  • Koipanda on 01/04/2021 - 18:29

    Any problems if you sign up and have multiple credit card

    • Easton on 01/04/2021 - 19:10

      I have several credit cards (over $50K limit in total) and churn cards every six months or so and ANZ approved me with a $30K limit. This was for the recent $500 gift card offer – should've gone for this one instead.

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 01/04/2021 - 19:22

        I'm in the same boat. Of course there was no way of knowing, so no point in regrets.

      • TomGum on 01/04/2021 - 20:28

        Is your income in the 6 figures?

    • Starcraftmazter on 07/04/2021 - 21:52

      Doubt it, I have like 7 cards.

    Applied and just said they will be looking into my details..

  • AssociatedTsounami20 @ ANZ on 01/04/2021 - 18:30

    Hi guys,

    So can I spend $2000 on this and receive the bonus points? Is there a wait time for the points or do they get credited after the $2000 spend?
    Can I cancel after points redemption?

    Thanks :)

    • Transient on 05/04/2021 - 14:01

      I received the points on the previous offer a few days after the spend. I cancelled a couple weeks after points redemption.

  • MrBillions on 01/04/2021 - 18:33

    What can you do with ANZ points?
