ANZ Rewards Platinum Credit Card: 50,000 ANZ Reward Points on $1500 Spend within 3 Months ($0 Annual Fee First Year, Save $95)

71

Credit card offers for frequent flyer points and no annual fee seem a bit thin at the moment. Found this offer popped up for existing ANZ account holders (via Internet Banking Product Offers):

50,000 ANZ Reward Points when you spend $1,500 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from approval. ANZ website indicates 50,000 reward points may be redeemed for minimum $200 digital giftcards OR $200 ANZ cashback OR 25,000 Velocity Points (also options to convert to Asia Miles or Singapore Krisflyer points)

$0 Annual Fee in the first year (usually $95)

Please read the fine print in the link on eligibility - specifically: Offer not available where you currently hold an ANZ Rewards, ANZ Rewards Platinum, ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures or ANZ Rewards Black credit card, or have closed, or qualified for extra Reward Points or a credit back on, any of those ANZ Rewards credit cards within the previous 12 months.

Also, I'm not sure if link works if you're not an existing ANZ customer accessing the page via your Internet Banking offers. Normal offer for this credit card accessed via ANZ website (without logging into internet banking) gives the same points but charges $95 annual fee in first year. If not existing ANZ customer, it shouldn't be too hard to make a transaction account to get Internet Banking access.

My take: offer is ok, not as good as previous/pre-COVID, but better than nothing I guess…

    Not as good as the recent PointHacks offer where it was 75K Velocity points, $45 annual fee (after $50 refund) and some Virgin flight credit money and status credits.

    Shit environment at the moment, as banks here and in USA are tightening the screws on sign-up bonuses, some examples being:

    • NAB increasing exclusion period from 12mnths to 18mnths, no longer doing pro-rata annual fee refunds

    • Citibank excluding folks altogether if you've had the card before

    • all banks jacking the minimum spend to figures like $6000 in 3mnths for like 60 or 70k points only, when six months to a year ago that was like $3000 in 3 months for same amount of points.

    It's gonna be a rough year ahead for us churners.

      Yes, agree that we'll need to reset our expectations. We only go for no annual fee cards (something for nothing mindset), though agree, the PointHacks offer is good if one is willing to pay.

    the velocity points offer is still available, just apply via this link https://www.anz.com.au/promo/personal/credit-cards/rewards-p…

    • Can i convert the miles to kris flyer from velocity?

      • Yes. It's a 1.55:1 conversion. Doesn't matter what way you convert (from Kris to velocity or vice versa)

  • cheers Adrian - btw where are you getting the feedback about Citibank exclusions from? Ta

    Went through the worst application process ever last year, dragged on forever with communication problems. Unfortunately wouldn't go near ANZ in the future for any form of lending. Cheers

      If your financials are within ANZ criteria the process will be easy and fast … outside of that they will ask lots of questions

        This.

        Setup a dummy account months ago with no money in it then applied for ANZ rewards point hacks offer and was approved next day.

        Ridiculous change from my last two ANZ card applications where I was dragged thru the mud just for approval.

    Anz application process sucks for self employed

  • What other offerings are out there for QFF no fee?

  • +4

    Do you think banks will offer better introductory point offers if we collectively avoided these dismal offers?

    Edit… also what’s your minimum incentive for the associated time and hit to credit record / enquiry history?

    I want to start collecting points but my monthly expense is 2200 incl 1200 rent(bpay) which is excluded for points collection. So i can only collect points on avg $1k monthly. Is there any way i can collect points on bpay?

    Shame they haven't updated the Rewards Black offer, still only has 150 off their ridiculous 375 annual fee

    Probably better off with the low rate card, $250 cash back.

    Went through their application process, so many stuff ups. Didn't even send me my statements, gaslighted me when I inquired, going through multiple complaints at the moment. Would avoid w a 100 foot pole. Just not worth the trouble w ANZ

    When I try to apply for this card, it says that the "offer is no longer available". It seems the latest version on their website does not have a "$0 Annual Fee for First Year" benefit anymore. Has anyone been successful in applying for this card with the Annual Fee waiver + 50k bonus points offer?

      I had the same issue, webpage is still up but doesn't allow the offer to be redeemed. Frustrating

  • Used to be like $500 GC or like 110,000 ANZ points in past. Good old days

  • Just noticed that this offer is still available when I log into my ANZ account online (on my computer).
