    3:1 conversion ratio to FF programs. Very poor.

    • rrrrrrein on 06/05/2023 - 23:54

      What is an Annual Fee Rebate (Once per year) gift cards worth $500?

      • Ehty on 06/05/2023 - 23:57

        Annual Fee rebate is basically Cashback to card.

    • Aureus on 07/05/2023 - 00:39

      I doubt you would actually get that. Westpac's systems can be pretty broken, but you should only be able to claim the annual fee rebate once per year and only up to the value of your annual fees.

      • focussash on 07/05/2023 - 01:08

        it worked when I had this card before, but that was a year or so ago

      • hotdish on 07/05/2023 - 08:56

        I applied for this promo with Westpac earlier this year (after signing up for a Westpac account and applied in internet banking). Was rejected for the annual fee rebate. Talked to several consultants on the phone and via live chat and they all said no annual fee rebate for you. Had to lodge a formal complaint with AFCA and eventually got the fee and extra compo paid out. They are hopeless.

        For anyone applying for this as a Westpac customer, go into live chat, get it in writing you are eligible for the annual fee rebate, keep a log of the chat and screenshot the promo on their website. I even sent them the ozbargain URL for the deal and they didn't care. idiots.

        • Foma2 on 07/05/2023 - 09:03

          I agree. Westpac customer service is terrible and it is a real pain to deal with them.

        • Alpine58 on 07/05/2023 - 12:37

          Echo these comments. Recently got a card and it was laughable how useless everyone was.

        • JA1 on 20/07/2023 - 11:22

          So best to confirm Annual Fee Rebate eligibility before applying - thanks for the tip!

          So it's $500 (better value than points) in "cashback" that can be used in the first year?
          As the name " annual fee" suggests, you don't need to use this rebate to offset the annual fees? Cashback can be used for purchases, gift cards etc?

        just got the black version of this card, had the points and $725 in fee rebates within a week.

    • nightelves on 07/05/2023 - 01:14

      They don't allow unlimited like they used to.

    • Vulgar on 07/05/2023 - 07:35

      Can you use the $500 rebate to get gift cards in the first year? Otherwise I'd just convert to $420 worth of gift cards.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/05/2023 - 19:05

        you can spend it on anything that takes your fancy, it's just account credit. buy discounted gift cards or cheese

    • Mokr on 07/05/2023 - 08:32

      AnnuAl fee rebate is using points to pay for card annual charges

      But aslo others like 250 70 120

      As you only hace a small charge the xas may be returned

    • amorn on 22/05/2023 - 16:08

      can cancel after the points to avoid yearly fee?

  • YoBargain on 06/05/2023 - 23:48

    How much is 100k altitide points worth ? Cam altitude points only be used for flight/travel bookings, or can we take merchant gift cards too ?

    The BusinessChoice Rewards Platinum is better. 120,000 Qantas Points with 3k spend. $150 annual fee. Need an ABN though, which is pretty easy.

    • Clipyy on 07/05/2023 - 00:38

      How?

      • ricee007 on 07/05/2023 - 00:47

        Not 100% certain, but i think the deal in the OP converts 3:1 into Qantas points, so, i think, 33,333 qantas points in the OP, or 120,000 qantas points in this deal -> $150 for 87,000 points is a "better deal" for many.

    • VRZ on 07/05/2023 - 01:20

      Is there a min income requirement for the business or sole trader?

      • unfinishedsentenc on 07/05/2023 - 12:51

        Of course. They wouldn't want to extend any credit to a business with no income.

    • kuwahshi on 07/05/2023 - 01:37

      Do you know if the Qantas points go to your personal account or Qantas business account?

      • unfinishedsentenc on 07/05/2023 - 12:47

        Business. But then you can transfer to personal account any time.

    • jollster101 on 07/05/2023 - 07:03

      Is there any cross checking of any sort when it comes to the ABN? Wondering because I have an ABN as part of my SMSF.

      Be ideal to be able to use that for these sorts of things

      • redfox1200 on 07/05/2023 - 09:03

        how much income does your abn have

    • syswong on 07/05/2023 - 07:14
      +1

      Did you read the requirement?

      Income, employment, financial commitment details, Liabilities, assets and expenses
      Business details (including ABN, principal's details, address, phone number)
      Personal and the Business finances, including after-tax income (including previous year)
      Accountant or financial secretary details (including phone number is optional)

      Maybe you had ABN and been trading long time. From what I know (Contacts from a different bank), approving of a business credit card is a totally diff ball game!!

      Is it worth an application denied in your credit history to score some points?

      • unfinishedsentenc on 07/05/2023 - 12:50

        Yes I do have an ABN which I've kept for a number of years so no issues there. But yeah it does seem like creating an ABN just to apply to this card is out of the question.

    • DrakeIsEasyListening on 07/05/2023 - 07:54

      As a sole trader upon application it asks you to “ Please contact your relationship manager, if you have one, to seek assistance.”.

      What does this involve?

    • hotdish on 07/05/2023 - 08:57

    prefer the straight up velocity for 70k and $49 annual fee

    • aceaceace1234 on 07/05/2023 - 11:09

      that offer still requires a $49 annual fee + $50 velocity fee. They used to waive the $49 completely. still not a bad deal

      • freestyle18 on 07/05/2023 - 16:47
        +2

        $99 is more than reasonable for 70k points for the point churner

  • john_conner on 07/05/2023 - 13:11

    Setting up a direct debit to pay off a Westpac credit card is archaic. A paper form needs to be filled in and brought into a branch. Every other company I can call up and do it over the phone or in app!

    • timhn on 07/05/2023 - 15:37

      Is that debit from an external bank (non Westpac) ? Same procedure applied at other big banks - St George, ANZ, NAB, CommBank, etc.

      I only found can remotely with Amex or Citibank.

      • Futura on 08/05/2023 - 12:24

        All the other Big4 rejected based on face value figures whereas Westpac manually reviewed it. Their decision making process seems more logical than the others. The questionnaire is much more in-depth as well.

  • jobargain on 18/05/2023 - 13:49

    If you meet the min income criteria, doesn't the black card present better redemption value with the reduced annual fee of $99, plus you get complementary lounge access?

    Got my points the instant I hit the spending limit. Can confirm (with a bit of playing around) that you can get multiple annual fee rebates.

    • mymumsaysiamhandsome on 27/06/2023 - 09:17

        • JA1 on 21/07/2023 - 15:52

          Got off online chat with Westpac Rep to confirm Annual Rebate eligibility (in case issues later on purchasing/redeeming)

          Westpac Customer Rep:
          "This is the detail that we have on the website: Please note you are allowed to make only one annual fee redemption per card per year. The cardholder will not receive a voucher, the fee is simply credited to your credit card account.

          You can redeem points for cash increments of $25, $75, $100, $125 and $150"

          However seems from your experience with a" bit of playing around", what the system allows you to do is different to the T&C on their website?

          Seems the same T&C rules haven't been coded into the system preventing you from redeeming more than 1 per year. As long as you redeem different amounts.

          • Bigboy97 on 21/07/2023 - 16:09

            @JA1: Yep, ain’t complaining. Essentially the same as getting cash back but for a much better rate.

    • DBW on 11/09/2023 - 01:01

      Hi mate, can I ask how long did it take you to receive the rebates? I managed to add multiple options and make a total of $525 cashback for 105,000 pts. After confirming the order it says the redemption will be completed within 10 business days. Do I really need to wait that long? I wonder if there will be a manual review involved?
