  • Any ideas on the minimum income required?

    • +1

      Hard limit would be like 35k or something. Impossible to know their algorithm when accounting for mortgage, other debt, expenses etc

      • I've never had a credit card before. How long does it take to get if you've never had one, and never had a credit check, etc.

        • As long as you have a legit job and paycheck statement from 6 months back. You should be good.

          • @Furi8: Thanks. Going to try this one. Wish me luck. I have a couch to buy, and that will take out a chunk of the $2K.

            But if anyone can tell me this honestly… are credit cards worth the hassle? I have no clue where to even use these points.

            • @BadGiraffe: if you has no clue to use points. Swap it for the gift card you want. Easiest Coles or Woolworths gift card that you can use anytime any supers

            • @BadGiraffe: They are worth it if you have a large expense coming up that will hit the minimum spend for rewards points payment. Get the points, pay off & close the card. Alternatively if you have an offset account, you can spend money on the card and pay it off with offset savings 30 days later.

              The trap is if you don't pay the card off in full each month you will be charged 20%+ in intrest.

                @AyTrain: Set up a direct debit to pay off the card in full to avoid accidentally paying interest on it.

    What could 100,000 ANZ Reward Points get you?
    You could redeem them for one of the following:

    Minimum $440 digital gift card
    $400 ANZ Cashback
    to redeem as 33,000 Asia Miles & Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Miles, $500 Airpoint Dollars, or 50,000 Velocity Points

      I know it's something for nothing, however spending 66K to get a $440 gift card back is crazy.

      • Huh?

      • Isn't it just $2000 in 3 months, plus fees?

        • Without bonus

          • @askbargain: Apologies. I'm not familiar with credit cards at all. What bonus is this?

        Dude are you drunk?

        100,000 ANZ Reward Points (to earn moving forward rather than rinse and recycle cards/sign up bonus) costs approx $66k to accrue. To be clear, I was more just saying that the costs to get points is crazy

        • You get bonus 100k points after you spend $2000 in the first three months (can be done in one day). Not sure where your $66k come from.

    Another suggestion is that their Black rewards card seem to have a decent deal too, 180,000 Reward Points and $150 cash back plus get more points per $. https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/rewards-black/

    • But $375 Annual Fee

      • $375 - $150 cashback = $225 annual fee

        • Oh did not see that Thanks

  • how many qantas points

  • I have a home loan with them. Wonder if they would give me this credit card without going through checking payslips etc..

    • Nope they still want payslip

    ANZ were a PITA last time I cycled cards with them. If you're after Velocity points, NAB has a couple options that IMO are better. Both bonuses are after $1000 spend in first 60 days.

    $95 annual fee (first year), 60000 Velocity points. https://www.nab.com.au/personal/credit-cards/nab-rewards-car…

    $45 annual fee (first year), 40000 Velocity points (2:1 transfer from NAB rewards).
    https://www.nab.com.au/personal/credit-cards/nab-rewards-car…

    • I got this ANZ card in July last year… was expecting a PITA process but it was surprisingly straight forward. I made my spend, got the points, and immediately cancelled and jumped on the Velocity Flyer 60k + bonus 30k offer which turned out to be a long, drawn out process to get the 30k points.

      Currently still have that Velocity Flyer card as I continued using it whilst my Bendigo Ready was taking forever to be approved, and now my wife is overseas and I have some of her direct debits coming off the Velocity Flyer so I cannot cancel it till she comes back and I set up a new Macquarie bank account for her pay and direct debits to be linked to.

      But agree that both those NAB offers are better for Velocity points. If I was able to cancel the Velocity Flyer, I'd jump on the $45 annual fee NAB card as cost effective addition.

    Beware YMMV actually getting the points. I currently have one of these, and it's been more than 4 months since I met the minimum spend and they still haven't credited the bonus points. Support is absolutely useless. Have been passed between the credit card team, the rewards team, the mobile app support team and and spent over 90min on the phone last week with absolutely no one able to help. Currently have some sort of complaint in with them with will take 5-7 business days for someone to contact me about. Never again.

      AFCA time, had a similar situation happen a few months ago.

  • +3

    FYI it is possible to get a pro-rata refund on the annual fee. Was approved last month and met the min spend 3 weeks later. Cancelled the card and ended up paying about $13 for 60k velocity.

  • Ooh decent deal
