    Confirm also received an sms to add in my Velocity number and unique redemption code. Points landed straight after as well.

  • loku123 on 08/12/2022 - 12:47

    I've just received an SMS asking me to click on a link for the 75k bonus. The URL starts with anz.dgx.one. Has anyone else got that? Is that a legit link?

    • nightelves on 08/12/2022 - 12:52

      Yes it is and once you fill it out and confirm then the points and SC gets deposited right away.

      • Jono258 on 09/12/2022 - 15:34

        Link doesnt work for me

  • 7uk3 on 08/12/2022 - 12:48

    I just received my rewards code via SMS. I’ve only had the card for 4 weeks but met the criteria in the first week. Neither the SMS nor the redemption site said anything about the $50 cashback though.

    • tabboy on 08/12/2022 - 12:53

      The email I got says the following…

      The $50 back to your card offered by ANZ will be credited to your Credit Card Account within 3 months of the offer criteria being met and is not part of this redemption process.

      • 7uk3 on 08/12/2022 - 13:46

        Thanks for that. I also received the email a few minutes ago but it does not mention the $50. I might need to contact them. I also received the 75,000 Velocity points and 30 status credits straight away which is great to see! Pretty impressed!

      • 7uk3 on 09/12/2022 - 00:33

        Have since received the $50 on my statement listed as “Promotion”.

  • tabboy on 08/12/2022 - 12:51

    I got an email today to redeem my velocity points but I keep getting this error when adding my email and velocity member number to the form….

    sounds promising that most starting to get sms/emails, obviously most joined at similar times so they should start flowing through hopefully.

    in my case.
    November 2 - approved
    November 15 - hit $1,500 spend & first auto point transfer done
    November 16 - first statement
    Yeh to receive any sms/email just yet

    UPDATE: wow literally 5 minutes after my post i received the sms to redeem the 75,000points etc, followed the steps and the points and SC were in the account instantly

  • BuyLowLetsGo on 08/12/2022 - 13:32

      Yea I thought so to, that's why I came back here to check but seems alright got the points after clicking and filling the form

  • freestyle18 on 08/12/2022 - 14:29

    Only got the card a few weeks ago, hit spend for first statement and got the same text as people above.
    It pays to wait!

    • bohn on 08/12/2022 - 14:46

      Waiting isn't ideal for churning. Now that you've got the points, if you apply for a new card it will be the second enquiry within a month. Not ideal.

      For those that applied when it was posted, its just over 2 months.

      • freestyle18 on 08/12/2022 - 15:14

        I used to apply right away but changed my strategy a few years ago. In my experience, waiting for the initial rush to pass for applications has always yielded a fast processing time (rarely more than 2-4 days). I always have a next card anyways so it's not that hard to delay one card for a month or so. If anything I struggle to keep up with the amount of cards available and hit spends…

        • shift6 on 08/12/2022 - 20:50

          Waiting may work better when the Credit Card sign up incentive has a clear offering end date. In the case of this PointHacks offer, I don't recall there being an advertised end date, so if one gambled on waiting it out, they would have missed out.

          If it's a decent enough offer that has a few months until it ends, then it completely makes sense to potentially delay applying to avoid overspending, or to take advantage of other offers first.

          For those who have no shortage of expenses, and are in a position where they're in a shortage of eligible offers, then applying early will reset the cooldown period earlier.

          • freestyle18 on 08/12/2022 - 20:58

            @shift6: they actually had a longer date but pulled it before then (mar 2023). and I know that they are never quick enough to pull the special pages even when the offer seemingly "ends". But gotta stay on top of it else yahh you'll miss out. I actually applied after it "ended" but just went directly to the page

  • Fishballs on 08/12/2022 - 14:37

    Like most others, i got the points and status credit. But do you think it's OK to turn off the auto redemption on the points to velocity points while waiting for the $50 cashback and $95 travel credit?

    • bohn on 08/12/2022 - 14:47

      It's fine

    • CaptainHoltisDad on 08/12/2022 - 15:13

      Does that mean you're going to retract your neg then?

      • Fishballs on 08/12/2022 - 16:11

        Haha I don't know how to. At the time it seemed fishy and the website didn't work at all, but OP eventually came back to the conversation, and things got working.

        • Fishballs on 08/12/2022 - 16:12

          Nevermind I found it. It's just not on the front page of the deal, have to go into a different page.

  • Banana on 08/12/2022 - 15:33

    10/11 - applied just before midnight
    11/11 - called to get instant approval
    16/11 - received card in the mail and spent $1500 there and then
    8/12 - just got the text and points have landed, still waiting for the credits

    Pretty quick process for me.

    Got my dad to apply for the same card pretty much right after me but unfortunately ANZ gave him the run around and he's only received his card yesterday.

    • prisonmike on 09/12/2022 - 04:36

  • adrianhughes1998 on 08/12/2022 - 18:49

    Received the SMS today, filled in form and received the points immediately, along with status credits.

    Bit silly that it will take more time to get the $50 annual fee refund but whatever, could be worse.

    For those that haven't received the SMS, check that the ANZ Rewards account is linked correctly and you have the correct Velocity number on board.

  • OzBerghainer on 09/12/2022 - 08:38

    What I’ve found interesting is that if you have a statement balance, any payments made before the due date don’t go towards the statement balance but the balance of the current period? Different to Amex

  • Moo Deng on 09/12/2022 - 12:16

    Approved Oct 14 and have had two statements come through.

    • nightelves on 09/12/2022 - 13:59

      Did you turn on the auto-redemption as instructed?

      • Moo Deng on 09/12/2022 - 14:06

        I believe so.

        If I log in to ANZ Rewards, go to My Account, My Redemptions, Auto-Redemptions, Velocity is listed there with my card number…

        Already had one set of points come through for around 3000 Velocity points, next one scheduled for 21 Dec 2022

        • shift6 on 09/12/2022 - 14:29

          Perhaps one thing to do is to call up ANZ to ask if they can see whether the promotion was applied (if you haven't already).

          When I called up a few weeks ago, the rep was able to see that the promotion was there, but understandably wasn't able to say exactly when it would be processed.

          Just a suggestion.

  • SnowDragon on 09/12/2022 - 15:24

    Sorry if this is a dumb question. If I cancel my card and account, do any of the annual fees ($40 and $55) get partially refunded. This is the first card I've used with an annual fee, so not familiar with the processes.

  • skinnybutt1 on 13/12/2022 - 09:30

    Anyone plan to cancel the card and not bother to wait for the $95 travel credit?

    • bohn on 13/12/2022 - 09:44

      you might still get it anyway if you cancel if it is due to come from virgin… although not sure.
      I still want it though.

  • tdog4563 on 13/12/2022 - 16:19

    Hey all. I'm kind of new to the credit card churning scene.

    There's a lot of talk about people wanting to close this card once all benefits have been received.

    Just wanted to know how much effect closing cards have on your credit score and your ability to open more cards in the future. Is it worth leaving it open till close to the 1Y mark so it remains on your credit profile for a bit longer or close immediately after all bonuses have been received?

    TIA

    • shift6 on 13/12/2022 - 17:29

      Just wanted to know how much effect closing cards have on your credit score and your ability to open more cards in the future.

      If you want to see how the numbers change, you can engage in services from companies like CreditSavvy, getcreditscore etc who get data from companies like illion, Experian, and Equifax. You'd be able to see how your score changes over time with enquiries, active accounts, closed accounts, etc.

      However, one's credit score is just one metric used when it comes to be assessing serviceability of future products like more credit cards, home loans, personal loans, and so on. Other factors like your income, other existing loans held, expenses, age, dependents, etc may also impact the decisioning process when a financial institution assess your future credit card application.

      https://moneysmart.gov.au/managing-debt/credit-scores-and-cr… might be a useful resource to review some of these concepts.

      Is it worth leaving it open till close to the 1Y mark so it remains on your credit profile for a bit longer or close immediately after all bonuses have been received?

      I think it's difficult to answer definitively unless someone showed the secret inner workings of the credit decision process and the factors assessed (unlikely). I'm sure it's easy to read about serial churners who move from card to card, but everyone's personal circumstances are different (income, age, debt, #dependents..).

      My general advice is to monitor your accounts and ratings via a credit score service to see how your profile changes, be careful of not overspending for the sake of points, and to be wary of credit activity if you're about to apply for a larger financial burden like a personal or home loan.

    Called anz today as have not receieved a text or email as others here have. They said they need to 'post my velocity number on the system' and I would receieve points within 60 days. Seemed to have no idea about this text or email and could not find anyone who knows. Asbolutely useless and no idea if I will receieve the points or not…

    • toniyellow on 13/12/2022 - 16:46
      +1

      When I called I got told that they couldn't see my velocity number - but I enrolled in the auto-redemption back in October, and it definitely has my correct velocity number. They then transferred me to the rewards department who said they could see my velocity number and the cards department is wrong, so they transferred me back to the card department, who said they would file an 'escalation' to figure out what is going on, and I'm meant to hear back by the end of the week.

      I've only had a card with ANZ once before but it was a similar pass-the-buck kind of experience, its going to have to be a really amazing points offer to tempt me to try them a third time.

      • toniyellow on 19/01/2023 - 14:18

        I don't have any real progress, but I guess for anyone else watching this thread to keep track of the experiences:

        In December the only thing I heard back was wait for the 3 months. The 3 months was this week, called again, given a non-answer that they are looking into it, and I am already anticipating having to call again. I will call one more time before trying the complaints team - was hoping to keep that as a backup a little longer, but over it now.

        I also can't get secure mail to work on the web banking, always says 'feature unavailable', very convenient, so then I have to run through the timeline with someone new every time I call.

    • shift6 on 13/12/2022 - 17:07

      Seemed to have no idea about this text or email and could not find anyone who knows. Asbolutely useless and no idea if I will receieve the points or not

      The best you'll likely get from frontline staff is whether or not the promotion is attached to your account (e.g. 75k VFF, 30SC, etc.). This would have likely been tagged to your account when signing up through the specific URL and confirm eligibility.

      When it comes to processing, it appears that a third party is supporting ANZ in the processing and comms, and I suspect that not all teams are in alignment when it comes to the mechanics of processing the bonus.

      I would suggest ensuring your details are correct in the ANZ Rewards site, auto-redemption switched on, etc. Based on any other info you can eek out, it'll either be an issue in the 'eligibility' state, or simply just awaiting eligibility like meeting the minimum spend, or waiting for the third party to process.

    • Moo Deng on 13/12/2022 - 17:18

      Seems like a waste of time for me to call them then. I also haven't received the points yet.

      Please keep us posted on your progress and the outcome of their investigation.

        Hi @JHoliday I haven't received the SMS/email yet. I got approved mid October and met min spend around mid November.

        What I just noticed is that my phone number is not added correctly in Velocity account. Don't know if this has caused any problem. Maybe check your phone number in velocity.

        Also wondering if there are any others that haven't received the SMS/email re teh bonus points.

        • Moo Deng on 13/12/2022 - 23:23

          Ohhh thanks I will check

          Edit: Phone number on my Velocity account was correct, but country code prefix was set to Other Country (not +61). Doubt that will make a difference but updated it anyway.

          • ck009 on 17/12/2022 - 13:15

            @Moo Deng: @JHoliday Did you receive the SMS/email for the bonus points. I haven't received any and thinking of contacting the ANZ support on Monday.

            • Moo Deng on 17/12/2022 - 23:18

              @ck009: Nope nothing unfortunately.

              When you call ANZ, at voice prompt say "Customer Care" for complaints or "Card Solutions" for credit card queries. That will get you a lot further than other menu options where you will probably get transferred the wrong department or get usless people multiple times.

              By the way, how do you tag people on here? :)

                          @ck009: Do you have screenshots from your application?

                          @ck009: @ck009 how did you go with your ANZ case that was logged? Any good news to share?

                            @Moo Deng: @JHoliday I have been trying to get updates but what they are telling me is that I have to wait 3 months from the date of min spend requirement met so that they can investigate into the issue or even escalate it.
                            I am just waiting for the 3 month period to finish (16-Feb) and then escalate the complaint.

    Hey guys, have had the card for a week, I didn't realise I needed to link my velocity and turn on auto redemption setting and hit the minimum spend. Am I still eligible for the 75k?

      I’d say you are fine as long as you switch it on, leave it on and meet the minimum spend

      Definitely eligible once you meet the requirements.
