    St George is the only bank that declines my applications even though no problems with credit score or income

      How does that make you feel? Do you ever find you have a growing unease when around dragons and the Illawarra region?

      St George and HSBC are the only banks that decline my applications too.

      Similar story here…not declined but I applied for $15k credit card to replace my ANZ Rewards Black ($15k limit right now). St George approved it right but max credit limit they could give me was $2,000.00 😂😂

        Try decreasing your credit limit before you apply for another, I think it helps with the liability or something. Reducing mine to those minimum $6k limits helped me I think. Not sure about St George.

      • rilakkuma311 on 03/03/2022 - 14:24

        I also have the ANZ rewards black and I want to apply for the St George, but unsure with 15k limit if they will approve me for another credit card…Do you know if they have minimum income for them to approve it?

        • ganjadeals on 03/03/2022 - 14:29

          Sorry not sure about the minimum income part. I earn ~90k and getting the ANZ Rewards Black was a breeze. Zero issues and got it approved within a few days. St George one got approved with a much lower credit limit but no one has even bothered to call me back.

    • Drakesy on 03/03/2022 - 13:27

      Ditto, after 3 years of back to back approvals
      All of a sudden rejection after rejection.
      Only thing that's changed is my earnings have doubled while outgoings have stayed the same.

      Maybe they're trying to discourage people that would pay back credit too easily.

      It was 130k bonus points for this card before but no cashback on Kayo.

  • Ehty on 03/03/2022 - 12:07

    Is this one better than this

    • CaptainHoltisDad on 03/03/2022 - 12:17
      +1

      If you use Kayo, this deal is better as $450 gift cards + $25x12 Kayo - $29 AF = $721, compared to the $600 cashback you get with the HSBC card. I prefer the HSBC card as I don't use Kayo and I would also prefer getting straight cashback rather than gift cards.

      • Ehty on 03/03/2022 - 12:19

        My intention was for balance transfer, confused with the statement "When requested at card application. 1% balance transfer fee applies if you make a balance transfer."

        What happens if I request it later?

        • CaptainHoltisDad on 03/03/2022 - 12:19

          Balance transfer is only available at time of application.

        Nobody pays $25 for Kayo, your over valuing the benefit.

  • M00Cow on 03/03/2022 - 12:12

    What are the points actually worth?
    Say how many ti buy a $100 Wishcard?

    The $450 egift doesn't say what it is.
    Apparently a $250 Westfield Card is 57k.

    • Transient on 03/03/2022 - 12:42

      Don't know for wish card but 22,800 pts for $100 Amazon or W'worths and 22,200 pts for $100 Bunnings or JB. So better than SGB but Suncorp better - point for point redemption (not taking into account annual fees or total points awarded).

      • M00Cow on 03/03/2022 - 13:09
        +1

        Ta, so you get ~$439 in points,

        After your $3000 soend, thats 103K ~$450.

        That'll cover the annual fee for a few years.
        It'll be worth it for.the hire car insurance.

        • Transient on 03/03/2022 - 13:23

          That's right. If you redeem for $450 lower point cards (eg, Bunnings or JB), that's 99,900 pts, and you have 3,100 pts left over (from 103k pts). You can get a $20 Bunnings card (lowest value) for 4,450 pts so you have the option of spending $1,350 extra to reach 4,450 pts then redeem for Bunnings card. Or get some Amazon / W/orths cards instead of the lower pts cards.

    • Sudoku6 on 03/03/2022 - 18:23

      You can get better value if you go for annual fee rebate, which is basically cashback: 1 x $79 + 1 x $99 + 1 x $279 = $457 for 83,125 points.

      Keep in mind that you can only redeem one of each. And then use the remaining points to redeem some gift cards.

      • ChubDog on 18/04/2022 - 00:47

        If I'm understanding this correctly, the $457 will just become credit that will deduct from your charges on the card?

          Yup!

          Confirming this still works. I just received my $457 credit to my BankSA card. Plus, I got $90 in eBay gift cards for a total of 103150 points.

      • Thimble on 18/06/2022 - 14:45

        I was able to order 2 of the $279 rebates.

        • Sudoku6 on 18/06/2022 - 17:04

          I tried that too but it would be stuck in their system which I eventually had to call them to cancel the redemption. Let us know if it works for you.

          • Ash-Say on 18/06/2022 - 21:04

            @Sudoku6: I also ordered 2 X $279 but the credit is yet to be applied.

              @Ash-Say: See my comment on the next page

              • Ash-Say on 19/06/2022 - 09:16

                @dorikin: Well they should put restriction at checkout to avoid confusion.

        • Thimble on 27/06/2022 - 17:17

          Update: still haven’t received the rebates, so called up and asked them to fix it. So yeah it doesn’t work if you order 2.

    Take care with opening a new account for the sole purpose of getting the annual fee waived. Previous OzBers have reported auto-rejection due to accounts that too fresh and suggest waiting a bit after opening account and signing up:

    • Drakesy on 03/03/2022 - 13:29

      St George is auto-rejecting for a lot of reasons at the moment unfortunately and will never disclose why.

        which card do you think I can get easily for BT, got rejected by HSBC

    • iori57 on 04/03/2022 - 08:53

      in the previous round I applied new banking account and credit card rightaway, no issues

  • M00Cow on 03/03/2022 - 12:14

    Step 2
    Activate a Kayo Basic or Premium subscription within 30 days of card approval and set up payment details using your new Amplify credit card.

    Step 3
    After each subscription payment, you’ll receive $25 cashback as a statement credit on your card account for the first 12 months from card approval.

    So I wonder if you use the Telstra Offer, only pay $5/mth if you get the $25 back each month?
    i.e. are they just looking for a charge from Kayo every month or are they getting info from Kayo?

    • mrshorty on 03/03/2022 - 15:08

      curious about this too and assume you need to keep the card for 12+ months to get the credits

    • Paul B on 03/03/2022 - 18:08

      Fine print says Not available in conjunction with other Kayo offers.

      • M00Cow on 08/03/2022 - 20:06

        Yeah but I wonder how it's decided. It sounds like it's the bank's end. I suspect it might be like the Amex offers which excludes giftcards purchases, but still payout because they don't actually know you've purchased one.

    • buthidae on 08/03/2022 - 17:36

      Isn't Telstra offer only available with billing from Telstra? So you'd never have a Kayo transaction on your statement.

      • M00Cow on 08/03/2022 - 20:02

          Ah fair enough, mine’s been on for ages and I didn’t remember any other options. That was the $5 deal though so maybe different to the $15? Either way I might cancel and take up this offer!

  • CaptainHoltisDad on 03/03/2022 - 12:19

    • phattgpig on 09/04/2022 - 09:40

      I signed up under the previous existing customer offer with Bank of Melbourne, I was still charged the $49 annual card fee. After questioning it, the rep didn't seem to know or feigned ignorance about the existing customer offer. Eventually I was told that the fee waiver doesn't apply to a customer's first card with the bank but BoM would refund the first year fee as a 'one time goodwill gesture'. I call bullshit as their T&Cs don't say anything about this and they are trying to see how many card fees they can sneak through without customers noticing/complaining.

  • freestyle18 on 03/03/2022 - 14:10

      Best is to get points and they ask to waive the fees by linking to your package.
