      I tried twice, flawless credit score, twice rejected for some bizarre reason - got there third go….card is great, no issues…but as others say the approvals process is like its being done via Craplakistan.

    • thorpef1 on 14/10/2022 - 19:54

      I applied for this a few days ago and got a call from them today. Asked me a few questions around the numbers I submitted and they pushed it through approved.
      But I have read in others they can be a bit painful

    • Johnsmithaus on 14/10/2022 - 20:10

      I've had such a poor experience with over 12 calls with their offshore centre asking for further information who barely understood how money works in Australia. They kept dragging the application on for over 5 weeks and I had to file an AFCA complaint to get this closed off after 3 internal complaints remained unanswered after 3 weeks. I wouldn't recommend, but if you do apply, note what you're up for if there's any issues.

          +3

          That's the issue, it was quite a basic application. Salaried income + ETF dividends + rental/living expenses and that's it. They asked for my payslips dating over 3 years back for some reason as well as my old work contracts which I had to dig up. I don't think they fully understood what they were doing.

        • bobbieb on 15/10/2022 - 07:32

          Mine was even simpler than @Johnsmithaus and they still had me jumping through hoops.

          I was so confused… I'm fortunate in that my circumstances usually make my credit applications a slam dunk (single good income, minimal liabilities, and only maintain one credit card at a time which I churn periodically).

          If their offshore credit agents can't get their head around a single, financially independent applicants circumstances, then I don't wanna imagine the pain that those with more complex financials would go through.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2022 - 20:13

      It's true

      I have so many issues, I even went to the branch and they scanned and ANZ complained about their own scans.

      Eventually they approved, took weeks.

      • Johnsmithaus on 14/10/2022 - 20:21
        +3

        Likewise here, additionally the lady at the branch said she couldn't help me and said I had to go through the rest of the process with the offshore team after she scanned some of my documents. Afterwards I tried to reach out to her via email because she said to message her if there's any issues and she just ignored me. Honestly one of the worst experiences I've had with a bank.

      This.

      Whilst it doesn't necessarily make this a bad deal, if you value your time and sanity, then the bargain is hugely reduced.

      I was lucky enough to get my fairly basic application approved on the 160k deal. After all I went through, I'll be extremely annoyed if the points crediting isn't a flawless process.

      Yes! ANZ has been one of the few with good deals, but even they seem to be getting worse. NAB have had a couple of alright ones, but I've churned both too recently.

      It feels like forever since there was a good Qantas American Express deal. Lots of the smaller banks are only doing 60k points. Churning is so much worse than it was a couple of years ago.

  • JSONBourne on 14/10/2022 - 19:59

  • xdivino on 14/10/2022 - 20:01

    ah dang, was about to flip card in to the ANZ ones and was hoping this was the 160k deal again..
    Is it split over 2yrs like some other cards or just all upfront points?
    Worth waiting to see if they bring back the 160k deal?

  • bobsmidie on 14/10/2022 - 20:08

    ANZ held up my last application about a pay rise even though I was well above the minimum without it. To the point my application was no longer valid.

    • tajid on 14/10/2022 - 20:13

      I think you will find given the increasing interest rates, they have stricter assessments now that every extra income will help.

      I recently applied for St George card (a card I have held multiple times in the past with much lower income) where my income was more than double the minimum requirement but had to use my bonus and dividend income to pass their servicing, which was originally rejected without (despite having conditionally approved).

            @BoBo-the Angsty PhD: Anyone have experience in this situation with ANZ? I applied a month ago and finally got the card today. I thought I might need to call them to lock in the original deal I signed up for. I feel like it would be very easy for them not to honour the original deal as it will be 2 months away from now before I actually get the bonus points.

    Just cancelled my NAB signature with 120k bonus from last year.

    What’s the best offer at the moment? I missed out on the 160k points for $3k spend offer.
    - ANZ seems to be bad with approval based on people’s experience.
    - Westpac altitude the spend requirements are pretty high.
    - Citi I churned two years ago and they seem to exclude past customers who’s had a Citi premier card?

      What’s the best offer at the moment?

      Looking for QantasFF or VelocityFF ?

      If Velocity, there's the St. George Amplify card promotion now.
      75k Velocity points for spending $12k in first 12 months and $15k credit limit.

      There's the PointHacks deal for ANZ Rewards, which also has 75k Velocity points,
      but $3k spend in first 3 months, and $6k credit limit.

      Personally, I like Velocity because I don't see much value in Qantas,
      as I don't think I've ever flown with them nor did they attract me over the years.

    I very rarely neg deals, but I also agree with the bad experiences people had above.

    Applied for an ANZ credit card a bit over two years ago and canceled before 12 months were over.

    I then applied again for the exact same one post 12 month period and got rejected.

    Called up their customer service and they couldn't tell me why my application was declined, even though I had a higher salary.

    They directed me to their complaints team as suggestion lol

    Anyone know what happens with your credit file with a license number swap (Optus). SA, so whole new number.

    Do all your loans and the credit cards you are holding not appear (ie. Is it a new file)?

    Alternatively, do you have no chance of getting a card with a fresh credit history?

  • siberry on 14/10/2022 - 21:11

    I have this card currently (got it on the 160k points deal). I BPAY my rent every month and get points for it. If your agent uses DEFT for rent payment processing you can do the same. It made it super easy to get the minimum spend.

    • drhip on 14/10/2022 - 21:29

        • siberry on 15/10/2022 - 21:37

          Pay them via BPAY instead, from a credit card. It circumvents the fee lol

      • siberry on 15/10/2022 - 21:36

        I don’t have to pay a fee when paying via BPAY to DEFT, as they accept Visa credit as a payment method on their BPAY biller code.

    I've never had an issue with ANZ. Always my go to churning along with Amex/NAB/St George. On the other hand, Citi and Bendigo bank are the absolute worst as they will decline an application without any actual reason - and there is no reason they could possibly decline in the instances I've dealt with them.

    Edit: Do people realise that the ANZ Black card is generally for 75k+ salaries, is that why they're having issues applying?

    • Surrealblank on 16/10/2022 - 00:00

        In the same situation. Applied few days ago and got approved today.

        Applied via the ANZ app and had a confirmation that I was signing up for 160k points and $225 refund to the fee at the end of the application stage.

        However, judging by the fact that what you see now on the app is just 100k and going by people's bad experience with the whole sign up process, I'm quite worried now.

        • lzaonne on 14/10/2022 - 22:24

                      @Robot16: Some updates. Called them, on hold for about an hour. They told me yes I'm eligible for the 160k bonus offer, but…. My credit card was put on a different CRN to my Access Advantage account.

                      So after a total of 3 calls, each time waiting for at least an hour, I have now managed to merge all accounts into one CRN and they have reassured me that being on different CRN originally doesn't make me ineligible for the promo so fingers crossed.

                      The whole ANZ experience is just one of the worst out of all the banks, from applying for credit cards to their online app experience where they make it overly secure which disrupts your usage experience to long wait time trying to reach them, I will try to avoid ANZ credit cards as much as I can in the future

          ya I had signed by in June and yet to receive my points. Somehow feel I wont get the points or cash refund as well. Called them a couple of times and they confirmed all is good. I have completed my spend limit in the first or second month itself.

    ANZ is so bad, that someone used my credit card in Canada to pay for ballet school like 3k, same day target Geelong for $15

    And no one ever called me!

    Commonwealth bank fraud team are literally on the phone if they notice anything!

    ANZ didn't even contact me!

    So it was used in Canada, Geelong target and I used it in Adelaide and their system didn't pick it up!

    Horrible bank!
