When redeeming my 93,000 Westpac Altitude Rewards Points, I noticed it was cheaper to redeem 4x $25 gift cards (21,000 points) instead of 1x $100 card (23,500 points) for AmpolCash.
Using this I managed to redeem 17x $25 gift cards, and used the remaining points in exchange for ~$15 'pay with points' (bought some Amazon gift cards on shopback).
Total value redeemed $440.
You have to be logged in to see the price, but I have an image here that shows what's going on.
yep, annual fee rebate is always better
Yehh that one. Ah, I made the assumption I wouldn't get any rebate because of the $0 fee and didn't want to take the chance of having to contact them and chase for my points back if I redeemed and nothing happened lol.
It worked for me when I got this card last year with $0 fee. The only restriction is you can claim each rebate denomination once only (the rwrds page is slightly incorrect in this regard)
Thanks OP, I'm was about to redeem my 93,000 points and also wonder if there was a catch.
Also, how long did it take to receive them?
Can you pay your gas using multiple $25 at the same time?
I redeemed them one evening (all 17 in the same order) and got an email saying it would need to be manually verified by a human because of the high value of the order.
But I received all of them in the early hours of the morning when I was asleep.
I too am unsure about the use of multiple cards. I'll ask next time I go in.
Oh but it is e-gift cards? not physical card ?
Yes egift
I assume you're referring to this card bonus https://www.rwrds.com.au/credit-cards/westpac-altitude-rewar…
In which case why wouldn't you go for the annual fee rebate instead? It nets you more at $450+3000 leftover points and is essentially real cash.
