      Why though? It's just like another credit card. Budget well and purchase within your means, so you can take advantage of the good offers.

      Unless you can't do that and/or don't own a credit card for a similar reason, then fair enough.

      • b0b0 on 11/07/2023 - 11:31

        It's as bad as personal loan from a credit perspective.

        It may leave a dent in your credit history that takes years to recover, affecting other credit application

        All depends on your individual circumstances. YMMV.

        For small amounts of savings that may affect my credit card churning, I would avoid…

      They didnt do a credit check for me

      • Fredfloresjr on 11/07/2023 - 10:12

        Part of the first step they will.

      • mjkwon74 on 11/07/2023 - 10:13

        They will do credit enquiry. I have Spot account and they checked hard enquiry.

        • easternculture on 11/07/2023 - 10:20

          Signed up for an account last week and nothing on my credit file

            @easternculture: How do you check your credit file.
            I've been signing up to a bunch of stuff and unsure how to keep track of ky credit score

                @easternculture: I also got email from Credit Savvy / Finder/ GetCreditScore. Credit Savvy and Finder credit score is from Experian and GetCreditScroe is from Equipfax. Equifax credit score is more detailed.
                Equifax report has credit qneuiry for SPOT. Finder/Credit savvy doesn't have credit enquiry for SPOT. But, both reports have SPOT account information (credit limit etc).

  • browser on 11/07/2023 - 10:15

    I was wondering if all these BNPL offerings are bad for credit score, similar to credit card applications, mortgage pre-approvals, etc.

    • lint on 11/07/2023 - 10:33

      Yes, it appears in your credit history as a credit check, which can have a negative impact on your score.

  • wordsmith on 11/07/2023 - 10:15

    Credit check for $50 versus credit check for several thousand in reward points (credit card offers) which effectively become at least a few hundred dollar, the choice should be simple.

    • bongo007 on 11/07/2023 - 10:31

      You are not their preferred clientele

    • my2cnts on 11/07/2023 - 10:34

      how can you check credit score without affecting it?

      • lint on 11/07/2023 - 10:40
        +2

        You can ask for a credit report free once a year with any of the reporting agencies.

        There are also two free services that will show your credit score and history - CreditSavvy and GetCreditScore. They get their data from different reporting agencies so will have different data.

        Please keep in mind that both these services collect your data for marketing purposes, you can see clearly when you log in that there's a bunch of ads for loans etc, so keep that in mind if you don't want that to happen.

        • nokia3660 on 11/07/2023 - 22:06

          or you can get them for free every 3 months directly from the agencies.

          Experian – go to site, fill in details, Report will be sent to email in 10 days

          Equifax – Register & login to site with user/pwd and download report

          Illion - Register & login to site with user/pwd and download report

      • wordsmith on 11/07/2023 - 10:58
        +1

        Another option is ClearScore - https://app.clearscore.com that pulls scores from both Illion and Experian.

      • Wiede on 11/07/2023 - 17:50

        I have equifax 1 year free from Optus….. Unfortunately

      Yeah, I have a score in the 1000 range, no missed repayments on anything and I got rejected. Wonder how that works. Oh well, guess they don't want me as a customer.

      • Faithgrrl on 11/07/2023 - 12:35

        They don't want you to repay duh

  • J6 on 11/07/2023 - 10:32

    Tell me to go to the app (as im a Citibank customer) for a quicker process but then I have no idea where to go?

    Anyone else?

    • Amotti on 11/07/2023 - 11:39

      Theres a tab on your home screen in the App to apply for it…basically re-do the application from the App. Just went through and it got approved instantly

      • J6 on 11/07/2023 - 11:47

        Thank you! Approved

  • savemore on 11/07/2023 - 10:34

    Didn't get approved. Chatted online. I previously applied for a CitiBank account when briefly living overseas. They mucked up the address for the card to be sent to, so ended up closing the account. Suggestion was this was why I didn't get approved.

    • lint on 11/07/2023 - 11:13

      Does this mean there are negative events that get flagged in your credit report that isn't visible to us? That's a bit odd, I thought the whole point of the credit report was so you could see everything that affected it and ask for corrections if there's any incorrect data.

  • Choc0 on 11/07/2023 - 10:36

    Looks like a credit product that will impact your rating. $50 isn't enough compensation for this.

  • greatbuy on 11/07/2023 - 10:58

    How can we do the payment? I can not see any option on the checkout for a spot buy now, pay later option. I received MasterCard from the spot so can we add it as credit card payment?

  • plmko on 11/07/2023 - 11:21

    The irony of worrying about your credit score is that you intend on having a positive score so you can maximise your mortgage and borrow more.

    The contradiction with that thinking is you're probably conservative enough to have a large deposit for a home or utilise the Gov guarrantee. So then lenders don't really care about your score in the end.

    But because you spend cash now instead of leveraging off smart credit you end up costing yourself more.

    Borrow less now borrow more later…..

    For the purpose of these terms and conditions “Eligible Items” refers to any item purchased on Amazon.com.au (via desktop, mobile browser or the Amazon Shopping App) but excludes digital purchases such as e-books, subscriptions such as Prime video and Audible, gift wrapping and postage or delivery rates, and payments for Prime Subscriptions.

      • kelldo on 11/07/2023 - 11:40

        I've got the same question about how to pay at checkout. I've added the card to my Amazon wallet but it won't let me pay with it (and I know that it works elsewhere) 🤷‍♀️

    • Amotti on 11/07/2023 - 11:41

      I'm on the fence about using it…because there's no way of verifying you will get the $50 gift card on the other end if you do buy something eligible :/ Eye-ing a pair of Airpods 2 for the parents so will hit the spend amount

      • easternculture on 11/07/2023 - 11:57

        • payton on 11/07/2023 - 14:45

          There's no way for the buyer to prove they're re the first 3000 that are eligible - and Amazon can deny based on that

  • Imnuts7 on 11/07/2023 - 11:29

    It's rejecting everyone? Even if you manage to get in, it seems Amazon still hasn't added it as a payment option, and you will have to wait until after the promotion ends for them to check that you haven't returned anything to receive the gift card.

  • SR9 on 11/07/2023 - 11:36

    How to use this to pay though? No option for Spot.

    • cloudie9 on 11/07/2023 - 11:50

      You need to go through Citi apps and get your card details and add manually…

      • SR9 on 11/07/2023 - 11:55

        I See. I was thinking it works like ZIP that you need to sign in. How can Amazon tells it's Spot not just another Master card?

          They will know, if you add to debit/ credit, it will obtain logo of your bank issuer, in this case, spot card… so they should know?
