Was looking for my next churn this morning and came across this one.
Great way to make a net gain of $400+ (i've already burnt most of the other banks this year).
Can also convert them to velocity for 50,000 points if preferred.

Seems like the AF is waived for existing account holders.
St George and BankSA have an equivalent if you'd prefer to go with them (all the same program).
As usual you need to of not held a St George, Bank of Melbourne, Bank SA credit card for 12 months prior

That could be worth up to $450 in eGift cards<, when you spend $3k+ on eligible purchases within 90 days of new card approval*. Plus, $49 card fee for the first year (reverts to $124)**.
Already with Bank of Melbourne? Sign in and apply to get no card fee for the first year (reverts to $124)***.

NOTE: Existing customers who currently hold an Amplify, Amplify Platinum or Amplify Signature card issued by Bank of Melbourne, St.George or BankSA, or who have held one in the last 12 months, or Credit Card Product Switches, upgrades or Westpac group staff are not eligible for this offer.

    Can I sign up with the bank now to get the AF waived?

    • Mortin on 21/08/2024 - 11:46

      Same question

      • jeimuzu on 21/08/2024 - 12:07

        Ditto

      • penguinswillrise on 21/08/2024 - 13:35

        Can you try registering for an account? I'm getting an error in the app

    I applied from the App as an existing customer and it showed as 0 fee. Also, instant conditional approval.

    With every churning, aren’t you getting Credit Checked?

    Affect the score too?

    • Moondragon on 21/08/2024 - 12:25

      Yes

      Yes but it’s free money for those who are smart and pay off each month.

      It temporarily affects your score.
      As soon as you close the account your score generally recovers.

  • HereToSave on 21/08/2024 - 12:46

    Good find mate. Will get me eligibility for more ShopBack deals too.

  • Cludo on 21/08/2024 - 14:25

    Nice find this is a good one.
    I've just opened a Westpac Altitude Platinum Mastercard as my 2nd CC.

    I'll add this to my list once I hit the spend limit on the Westpac.

    Open question for all, has anyone had any RECENT success in getting your annual fee refunded once you receive your reward?
    NAB told me to piss off once I received my 75k Qantas points.

    • jm888 on 21/08/2024 - 15:40

      I've had 90% AF refund from my citi rewards cc, once I got the velocity points

  • txb on 21/08/2024 - 15:00

    This is some poverty level of offers coming out lately

  • oldyellah on 21/08/2024 - 15:02

    I'm new to churning, but I'm considering starting with the ANZ Rewards Platinum credit card for the velocity points.
    so, how does the 100k Amplify points work? are you saying you can cash them in for a $400 gift voucher?

  • joseph2 on 21/08/2024 - 15:04

    Careful of the conditions for the $3k spend: "The bonus Amplify Points promotion is available when you apply and are approved for a new Amplify Rewards Platinum credit card between 7th November 2023 and 30th November 2024, and spend the minimum amount of $3k on eligible purchases within 90 days from card approval in one or more transactions. Eligible purchases do not include interest, fees and charges, cash, or ATM cash advances, cash equivalent transactions, gambling transactions, a purchase from or payment to a local, state or federal government or government related agency, BPAY or similar transactions (such as Post Billpay), refunds and balance transfers debited from the card account."

    I was thinking of using this for my upcoming local gov rates but looks like this would not meet the eligibility criteria. BPAY also being ineligible is a bit painful. I still think many could easily get to the $3k spend over that time, but might just take a bit longer.

    • eaglezz11 on 21/08/2024 - 15:30

      You could use Sniip to pay it. Worked fine for me with my most recent card. Those are pretty normal conditions, though I did see NAB didn't include BPAY in their clause.

  • SuiCid3 on 21/08/2024 - 15:56

    Damn… was looking to rotate between all three banks with their offers.. looks like that's not happening anymore

  • nicolascage on 21/08/2024 - 16:07

    if I've closed a St George credit card recently, can I apply for this card?
