Deal link goes to public product page because I couldn't work out how to submit this deal without a link - look at description or screenshot

Found this huge Qantas Points offer in the ANZ app a couple of days ago:

An exclusive offer to ANZ customers only.
Earn 160,000 bonus Qantas Points and $225 back to your new card when you spend $3,000 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from approval. New card. T&Cs, >eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply (including an Annual Fee, currently $425). Screenshot

You can get to this offer via ANZ Internet Banking in browser, or in the ANZ App.

If you aren't an ANZ customer: I mentioned this offer to a friend who then opened a transaction account and was able to immediately see the offer in their new internet banking and apply for the card. The basic ANZ transaction account is $5 a month, which you can get waived if you deposit $2k into the account each month (doesn't need to stay in the account). You could close the account once you get your bonus points (possibly once you get the card?)

Aside from this massive number of bonus points, card features are:

Earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases up to $7,500 per statement period
A higher Qantas Points earn rate compared to all other ANZ Frequent Flyer cards
Uncapped Qantas Points
Complimentary Frequent Flyer Membership and a discount on a 1 year Qantas Club membership
Two complimentary Qantas Club lounge invitations each year
Complimentary insurances including International Travel Insurance
Up to 55 days interest free on purchases

You can see the general details of the card (at it's usual lower offer value) here

I think this might be the highest consumer bonus points offer available at the moment, I certainly haven't seen any higher recently.

If you haven't earned Qantas Points from a credit card in the past 12 months, you may be able to stack with the New Cardholder Bonus of 20,000 points (from Qantas). The ANZ Black card is listed on the relevant page, and it doesn't specify that you have to click through the Qantas page to get the offer, but I haven't tried! The New Cardholder Bonus from Qantas ends on March 31 (there's no end date listed for the ANZ card offer).

Edit: Clarified end date in post applies to 20k top-up offer, not 160k sign-up offer.

  Mine took about 72hrs to finalise and approve. Took 1 business day before i got a phone call asking for payslips, then after sending it in, 48hrs later received email that it is all approved and cards dispatched.
OzLocutus on 30/03/2022 - 22:41

I spoke with someone for 1/2 hour tonight about my application, then asked me to submit 1/2 a year of pay slips. So they are at least looking at it. It sounds like I have unusual circumstances to them….
fseng on 31/03/2022 - 09:29

Do you have to upload payslips if your pay is directly deposited into a current ANZ account ? I have all my pay goes into the offset account. After applying I got an email saying "If your income is not paid into an ANZ account, please provide one of the following: Payslip(s) covering 3 months of income". So means I don't need to upload ?

Anyone in the same boat and successfully got approved without the payslips ? Or should I just load it to be sure.

  I previously applied to ANZ black rewards card (non-FF) and didn't have to upload payslips. I also applied to this yesterday, and not planning to upload anything since my pay is already going into ANZ account.
  - CodeXD on 31/03/2022 - 15:00
    
    Just to add on… I just got a call from ANZ to submit my payslip lol
    
    This is because I was using a Westpac churning credit card during Dec'21/Jan'22 and I had my pay go into that account to avoid the monthly charge.
Tiredman on 31/03/2022 - 11:43

Got my rejection letter. Bit odd since i got accepted on the Amex Platinum. 300,000 bonus points on that. Maybe will grab the Crypto.com card.
- lplau on 31/03/2022 - 23:13
  
  Yea its weird how they calculate it and reject. Macquarie bank has rejected a few of my applications awhile back but every other bank i've had no issues with.
  
  Just finished my mission on the Westpac 75k Qantas points, so as soon as i receive my ANZ one, will be shifting to finish off my spending mission on that one to get my 160k points.
Angelscrap on 31/03/2022 - 12:47

to the experts here Questions around salary packaging. if you have portion of your salary getting paid into your account w/out being taxed would anz consider that as true net income. which is usually higher than gross net income.
- lplau on 31/03/2022 - 23:17
  
  Different companies do different things with salary packaging.
  My company reimburses me for the entire payment of the item, then takes the ex GST amount of the item and splits it into 3 payments, and subtracts it from my pay so I pay less in taxes.
  
  So it actually shows my gross income to be less.
  
  So it all depends on how they display it on your payslip. But if your pay goes into your ANZ account, and they dont ask you for payslips, they will calculate it via the income payment.
  - Angelscrap on 01/04/2022 - 09:59
    
    Right. I have received a call yesterday they are saying they cant accept salary packaging non tax part as it is not being taxed. Obviously they are contracted through offshore and has no clue how salary packaging works.

SaveTheManuals on 31/03/2022 - 17:28

I started a new full time job earlier this month, so I don't have payslips showing a stable income over the past few months. Should I apply or is it too risky?

  likely rejection. They made it clear that i they needed the latest 3 payslips when i did my application.
- Big Deal on 01/04/2022 - 11:56
  
  Or you may apply now to avail the offer and supply payslips with 3-month ytd later. Just tell them you want to keep your application open when they call you..
OzLocutus on 31/03/2022 - 20:13

My application process is still going. I had to upload 13 pay slips and now they've asked for one more. Explaining things to the call centre is infuriating. Eg they either couldn't understand the payslips to see I'm paid fortnightly, or they didn't open them to even look. They insisted I was skipping payslips cause they were dated two weeks apart each…Took 15 minutes to clear that up.

  I had someone from their incompetent application team call me who asserted that I needed to send all 3 months worth of pay slips all over again without 'greying out' any information. Thing is, I sent them the original digital copies which were not altered in any way. I asked them to give me an example and provide a pay date on one of the pay slips, but they then asked to put me on hold. It seems someone on the offshore team had been editing the pay slips and greying out sections.
  
  ANZ are the worst in class at running off shore teams.

    These offshore assessors are joke to banking industry. Bank is trying to cur cost then ending up having bad service. Above my comment they didn't even understand how salary packaging works!!!

zacsg1 on 01/04/2022 - 14:02

I went for the platinum card as my pay is about 65k and after 3 calls for them asking more info i get told my application has been denied.

Thats with a 6k credit limit aswell so kind of shocked, they would not tell me why it was denied but she did say my income was over what was needed.
Also i had no outstanding debt, never been late on a repayment and only have a mortgage at $640 a forghtnight…

  - zacsg1 on 01/04/2022 - 15:05
    
    No, did just before i got my house and it was good, so considering i pay more than i need on my house i was thinking it would be fine as thats the only thing thats changed.

To get access to the Qantas points, do I need to have a Qantas club membership. When i check there is a joining fees and an annual membership fees associated with Qantas .

I usually dont travel much by Qantas and was thinking if I actually need to apply for the same and spend on the membership.

Thanks in advance.

  Qantas Frequent Flyer membership is seperate and different to Qantas Club Membership.
  
  You don't need Qantas Club (costs $600/yr) you only need Qantas Frequent Flyer ($99.50/yr but free from heaps of places).
  
  Just sign up for a free Frequent Flyer membership here and that's all you need to do. No renewal costs or anything like that.
  
  The only requirement to keep your points from expiring is to either earn or redeem points at least once in the previous 12 months. Just making one Uber trip or deliveroo order or BP purchase is enough to fulfil this requirement.

  You don't need Qantas Club membership, that's for lounge (+ other) benefits. You need to be a Frequent Flier Member, which is usually a $99.50 charge, but there are hundreds of coupon codes out there to get it for free.

Does anyone know if you get a refund of the annual card fee if you cancel early? I managed to get a refund for the annual card fee with my NAB frequent flyer card by cancelling after a month.

Thanks OP. Took 3 days to approve, but cards in the mail. The savings account I opened to be a customer doesn't charge the $5 fee if it has a $0 balance.

Hi Everyone,
I closed this credit card last year and unfortunately didn't request for my Lounge invitations. I still have other accounts with ANZ but wondering if i would be able to request the lounge invitations for the credit card that closed around 11 months ago.

Got approved today. As my pay goes directly to an ANZ account so I didn't send the payslips at the beginning. Got a call next day saying because the payee name does not show my company name so they just need one payslip to be sure. Also confirmed a couple things as I forgot to list out Afterpay as a credit card. Then got a 2nd call Which I missed over the weekend. Today got a call to confirm a couple things then it is all approved. Pretty quick took 4 days overall I think.

I got rejected because I just started a contractor role(using ABN) at the end of last year, so the 2021 income tax statement can't proof my last 3 months income.

    At least 5 business days.
    
    They will send you the card (bundled with T&Cs & promo) in one mail and another one for the PIN a day or two after. But with AusPost delay delivery, likely both of them arrived same time - at least with my card applied few months back.

  Normally they don’t mention it. They just send you the standard terms and paperwork for the card. The promotional offer is just linked to your card on their system. You can call up and check if you’re concerned.

  As per the response from stirlo above, companies very rarely mention “the offer” in their paperwork. After 20+ card applications I might have seen it once, years ago! Always take a screenshot of the website landing page(s), just to be sure!

  Exactly as the guys above have mentioned, they do not send this through at all.
  
  However, I would recommend calling them to verify… I'm an existing customer, and for some reason did not get the 160k applied to my card (I got the 100k + 30k for regular new customers). I had to spend some time with them and they are emailing their loyalty team to rectify this.

  Yeah they asked for my contract as well even when i submitted 3 months of payslips
dji1111111 on 05/04/2022 - 12:06

Applied on the 28th and still not approved.
They came back to me 3 times already asking for different documents each time.
last time I spoke to them on Friday, I was assured it will be approved as soon as I send through the last document they requested.
- dji1111111 on 05/04/2022 - 12:44
  
  Not out of the norm but another typical disjointed group of people supposedly working together.
  
  Last guy I spoke to asked what interest rate I'm paying on my mortgage and I told him it's roughly x% but I need to find and confirm the exact number then he said I can just send the statement showing the repayment amount, which I did immediately. He also confirmed this is the last thing they need to finalise it. I confirmed twice because I was sick of dealing with these clowns
  
  Today's guy says my application was not progressing because they are waiting on the mortgage statement to confirm the repayment amount. Told him I already uploaded it. Then he says he also needs the interest rate updated in the system to finalise my application. I was fuming at this point but was looking it up then whether he hung up on me or what, I got disconnected. Got onto another person then she updated the interest rate (Not sure why. they already know my loan principal amount, redraw balance and the latest repayment amounts) and supposedly it will now be finalised. Reminds me why I have not applied for new credit cards in a while despite the free points available

Finally got approved today. $40,000 limit (I asked for the $75K max just to see what they'd give me).

    Well, my typical monthly spend is around $3.5-$4k a month. But I do sometimes have months where I buy a lot of board games, or IT gear, or my expensive bills which pushes my credit card spend up. When I bought my 83" LG C1 and Yamaha AX-A8A a few days apart, I hit close to $15k on my card.
    
    But I always pay off in full each month.

        unity1 on 07/04/2022 - 19:22
        
        @stirlo: I thought the payslips had to show at least 3 months YTD income and if not that's when they will request additional payslips. If that's the case then I'm going to have to wait a couple of months before I can supply that many.
        
        stirlo on 07/04/2022 - 19:49
        
        @unity1: They were very clear to me (and posters above) that the YTD figure was not enough and they required 3 months. I even uploaded 6 payslips when they asked for them but then they clarified they meant an additional 6 (I’d already uploaded 1 and added 5 more) as they need 3 months worth (7 total). Good luck but I don’t hold much hope for you.
        
        If you read the comments here it’s full of ANZ assessor’s following a script and not deviating from it even in cases where it’s super obvious the income requirements have been met.

Received my card today. I've activated on my ANZ account but they want me to call them for it to appear? I haven't received the pin yet but was hoping to set it via online banking.

  You'll need to do the pin through the ANZ app.

    The card isnt appearing on the app even tho I've activated it through my account. I'll give them a call when their customer support opens.

      Called their customer support on 13 13 14, and they linked the card to my ANZ internet banking account. I asked about waiving the annual fee due to my breakfree package, and they said they do not see any annual fee for me, so it must already be waived.

Applied Wednesday night, uploaded income/payslip files Thursday and got my approval Friday midday. Surprisingly easy after reading everyone else's comments.

Though they did send me a message saying they would be calling, got a missed call from them and then 20 minutes later received a message saying my application has been approved…

  If your salary is deposited into an ANZ account and your affairs are simple (no disbursements, income sources outside your salary, little in the way of other credit accounts) then you don't need to deal with ANZ's back office people.
  
  If you do, well, there's a reason there's 5 pages of people questioning their life choices.

    I guess it's fairly simple. Salary plus rental income, though with two property loans and two other credit cards with a $21k limit already.

All I got was thank you for your submission. No accepted or rejected. Not even an email to confirm?

I applied (on PC) on the 02/04, website had issues and stalled at the submission page twice, so i changed to an iPad and it went through. Then 2 days later I received 3 x rejection emails. I called them as there would be no way I should be rejected…the person i spoke to asked if i did want the 3 x cards I applied for…..

Took me a while to explain the error and now it is being reassessed. Had to upload 3 months (7 x) pay slips and an old $1k CC closure letter - now waiting on a response.

  3 credit checks. Ouch!

    Nope…only the one enquiry. That was on the 04/04 after i spoke to them, so the originals obviously didn’t even make it that far.

This was posted 2 years 8 months 7 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
