    what can you get with 80,000 points?

      A lot

      I got this deal direct through ANZ a couple of months ago, already got the 80k points and booked a business class fight to Singapore and had about 15k points left-over.

      • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 14:09

        Aren't business class flights to Singapore 78k? Are you able to access the Star Alliance lounge?

        • solidsnek on 03/12/2018 - 14:11
          +1

          Just checked my points activity, it cost me exactly 65k points. I did choose to pay the fees with cash instead of points however, think it was about $80 from memory.
          Edit: I believe I have lounge access, yes.

          • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 14:13

            @solidsnek: Bargain! Hope it’ll be the same when the devaluation happens.

          • Coops1 on 03/12/2018 - 14:41

            @solidsnek: Yep. 65k + $85.58 MEL—SIN. Was going to transfer to KrisFlyer to do this ! Not anymore

              @Coops1: Yep, that sounds like what I paid.
              I was originally going to go round-trip in economy but the dates for Rewards Seats didn't suit me (that's how they get you) so I just pulled the trigger and got the business class for one way and paid for the return through JetStar.

              +2

              @Coops1: If you’re flying to Singapore then it works well. However if you fly to another destination in S.E.A then it’s a different cost as Virgins awards chart is distanced base. Whereas Krisflyer allows you to go to another destination in S.E.A for the same cost as the one way flight to Singapore.

              • montorola on 03/12/2018 - 15:35

                @nightelves: Didn't know this, thanks for the advice!

              • theblake on 03/12/2018 - 15:53

                @nightelves: Virgin is the same redemption is based on distance, you can use VF points to fly elsewere in SEA for the same points as it costs to fly to Singapore. eg BNE to SEA is 35,000 points.

                • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 16:02

                  @theblake: Virgin only flies selected aircraft from the Singapore fleet. I just tried from Mel-Bkk and weren’t able to find availability on Velocity whereas I was able to find it easily through Krisflyer.

                • serpserpserp on 03/02/2019 - 11:50

                  @theblake: Where is SEA airport?

            @solidsnek: Yeah I always try and pay that small cash amount, save a TONNE of points.

      • ely on 03/12/2018 - 18:34

        The cost is distance based to; you can fly Melbourne to Bangkok for the same 65k, even though it's two flights. Taxes are also vastly lower than Qantas, IIRC it was about $280 for two people return MEL BKK in business class.

    • Briefcase Mong on 03/12/2018 - 15:08

      If you receive 80,000 points before 2018 transfer to Kris Flyer before devaluation

      • theblake on 03/12/2018 - 16:00

        or dont transfer them and use VFF points to redeem SQ flights at a much lower redemption rate than transferring them.
        eg East coast to Singapore is 58k KFF points or 65VFF points in J, effectivaly thats only 1.12x (or 28/35 in Y)

    • Viper8 on 03/12/2018 - 15:24
      +1

      2 return flights from Perth to the East coast.

    • ONEMariachi on 03/12/2018 - 16:14

      With Virgin, I made mine work quite well for me. The return average flight would cost me $50, and use up 15000 points. Other wise a one way trip is about 15000 points.

      • illumination on 03/12/2018 - 21:09

        As in you used 15000 points on a flight that would otherwise have cost you $50? That's actually not great use of the points.

        • ONEMariachi on 03/12/2018 - 22:33

          No, the flights are usually $3-400, and I spent $50 plus the 15000 points.

          Eg. A flight I just bought, Adelaide to Melbourne Return. $229 there, $169 back. I ended up spending $50 +15200 points instead for the whole trip, by using points and pay.
          alternatively you can just pay 30,000 points for the whole trip. but I find the points and pay to be better value for money.

    • bmerigan on 03/12/2018 - 21:40

      Not as much as you can get with the $225 annual fee

      • serpserpserp on 03/02/2019 - 11:52

        $225 will not get you two return flights to most places in Australia 80k Velocity points will.

  • Hinee on 03/12/2018 - 14:00
    +1

    This is very interesting. I've still got the tab open for the recently posted 80k St George Amplify Signature card but the $4k spend was sort of putting me off. I shouldn't have an issue spending that, but at the same time this at only $1,500 spend is much more tempting (even with the $225 fee). Anyone have any opinions?

    • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 14:02

      Get both you have 90 days to make the spend.

      • Hinee on 03/12/2018 - 14:02
        +25

        Why be put off spending $4000 when you can spend $5500 instead!

        • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 14:03

          Christmas and Boxing Day coming up should make that easy to achieve.

        • Lunarboogie on 03/12/2018 - 15:23

          If you're not spending $5,500 in 180 days regardless of this or the St George deal, you know something I don't. Pull the trigger and the bills will come.

    • Homr on 03/12/2018 - 14:03

      In my opinion, the St George one is better since its free annual fee. Why is $4K spending an issue if you have no trouble spending it???

      • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 14:04

        You’re actually making a profit with the Anz one.

        free annual fee for first year only

    • nickyd84 on 03/12/2018 - 14:38

      I have recently just hit the spend needed on the St George Amplify, and also got this ANZ Rewards card last time they had a decent bonus (I think it was 20k velocity per certain spend for 3 months in a row, so I got 60k velocity out of it). It's all been moved over to Kris flyer, actually about to redeem Bogota to Santiago later tonight - the KF website has had massive improvements recently in regards to Star Alliance search results.

      The ANZ is a good card, used the free flights for Perth, which is a rare destination for free flights. Going to keep it for overseas travel.

      • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 03/12/2018 - 14:59

        Avianca now available through KF?

        • nickyd84 on 03/12/2018 - 16:27

          It's a little hit and miss still, but yeah.

    • jollster101 on 03/12/2018 - 14:58

      A few others on here have said you can use postbillpay to overpay your utilities to top up the spend if needed.

      With being in credit they will draw down on that before recharging. I don't know if direct payment to the utility company would work as well but via the trusty post office apparently does.

      I haven't done that (yet) so can't say 100% that it counts but I expect I may given I and the wife have both just got separate St George Amplify cards.

      • ely on 03/12/2018 - 18:36

        Direct early payment of utilities works fine; I'm ahead on electricity and water at the moment. Also paid my quarterly strata levy early and picked up a few WW gift cards. Minimum spend with a wife and kid is sadly no problem at at!

    • Dadidalol on 03/12/2018 - 19:17

      That card has a much higher income requirement, even though it's free

    • Gooddeal21 on 11/12/2018 - 10:11

      I was tempted too for this one but I am not sure yet if I ll use the domestic flight in 2019, so signed up for the St George and keep this one in mind.
      I am also waiting for the next round of ANZ as I am chasing Qantas points at the moment.

  • watwatwat on 03/12/2018 - 14:14

    So what at the flight destinations available? I can't find in the TOS. Also, it seems like you need to call them to book the flight so that is annoying as you can't check availability online etc.

    • nightelves on 03/12/2018 - 14:16

      The availabilty can be check if flights are available as discounted economy. I remember someone mentioned this last time the promo was on.

    • Symbiotic on 03/12/2018 - 15:30

      I found the phone flight booking system a tedious experience. You can get some idea of what is available if the lowest fare is available on the virgin website, but even then I found lots of "lowest" fares were not available. It's like being in a travel agent while they tap away for 10 minutes to find a flight you found on your phone in 15 seconds. Exactly how ANZ want it to remain to keep the number of flight redemptions down.

  • reginaphalange on 03/12/2018 - 14:26

        See the T&CS around having held an ANZ Travel Adventures Card in the last 12 months..

  • Schumi5 on 03/12/2018 - 14:27

    In the the T&C, it has a line
    "This offer applies only once per eligible customer"

    If I have had the travel adventures card previously(back when there was an offer of 40,000 bonus velocity points) but cancelled over 12 months ago, would I still be eligible for this deal and 80,000

    • ilubbargains on 03/12/2018 - 14:36

      The line before your quoted T&C states: "..where you currently hold or have closed an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card within the previous 12 months."

      If you've cancelled over 12 months ago, you'll be eligible for the bonus points.

        Ha, just kept my ANZ Rewards Black after they agreed to waive the annual fee for another year… I did previously have the travel rewards, but about 12 months ago now.

        Should really give it a few more months to let my credit score recover a bit after the last few cards though.

        • bobwokeup on 06/12/2018 - 10:46

          What did you say to get that? I called yesterday to get the annual fee waived for the ANZ Frequent Flyer Black and they said no. Mind you I already had last year's waived and the first year was free from the Finder deal.

            @bobwokeup: First year was fee free for me as well, this was the second year. They offered a 50% off, I said I'd stay for 100% off, they said OK. I expect that it's more dependent on spend than anything else.

            • jdogg on 06/12/2018 - 15:28

              @ely: Is it still possible to sign up to the ANZ black for 75k points and no fee first year?

              • Coops1 on 06/12/2018 - 18:37

                @jdogg: Just checked after signing into Internet Banking……only has the $200 back offer now, similar to the public entry page

              • Gooddeal21 on 11/12/2018 - 10:12

                @jdogg: looking at old Ozb post, ANZ offers might come up early 2019 so maybe hold a bit or take the St george until then :)

            • bobwokeup on 06/12/2018 - 15:54

              @ely: Thanks for the info. Yeah I think as I already had my 2nd year free I think they know I'll do the same every year. Still you'd think they'd offer me a discount rather than lose me altogether?

              My average spend is probably around the $5k mark as we put everything on CC to get the points.

              • ely on 06/12/2018 - 17:26

                @bobwokeup: $5k/year or $5k/month? We're around $5k/month, although I switched recently to pick up another 120k points on the Velocity High Flyer and another 120k QFF on the Westpac altitude bundle so didn't spend anything on it in the last few months. Now switching spend back to the ANZ Rewards Black, taking the transfer bonuses into account it's the best earning Visa/Mastercard for Velocity (effectively 1.5 points per dollar once a year during the better transfer period).

                • bobwokeup on 06/12/2018 - 18:41

                  @ely: Yeah sorry, per month. Yeah I am going to get the ANZ Rewards Black deal if they don’t reduce the annual fee for the FF Black.

                  Just been conditionally approved for the St George deal with 80k QFF points and the process was pretty smooth actually.

    • KingJuf on 03/12/2018 - 14:47

            Hi dude,

            I know how hard it can be as a full time student and making little cash. My advice would be to avoid credit cards at all costs until you have your sweet medical money coming in. If you opt for the credit card now, you'll be at high risk of being in debt for years, and won't get to enjoy that medical money when it starts rolling in.

            Cheers

      So do you have income or not? You just said you have no income and then you do? Point is, no bank would (responsibly) approve you a credit card without any income to service it. Given the royal commission going on, do you think this might be a bit of a silly question?

      • bidam on 03/12/2018 - 23:54

        BOQ has been providing line of credit and credit cards to medical students for many years now and other banks have been known to overlook the income criteria for medical and dental students.

    I have this card and it is pretty awesome. Easily pay off it's annual fee with Perth return flights. You can even get velocity points on it.
    The only catch is when you book the return flight tickets it requires booking 60 days prior to departure day.

    • spiff on 03/12/2018 - 14:59
      +4

      I'm on my second year with this card and while it's been great, I can expand on the last point you made.

      My card year goes from 19 Feb one year to 18 Feb the next. I booked a flight for the current card year for Dec/Jan. I was also looking to use the flight to travel domestically over Easter 2019, but since I had already booked my flight for the current year, and can't book the flight for the next year due to not yet paying the annual fee and the 60 day booking in advance requirement, it leaves a "black out" period of 60 days that I can't redeem the flight on. The only way I could travel during this 60 days is if I redeemed the current year flight in the following year period. I understand their policy and it makes sense, it's just frustrating from the customer end.

      Other than that, I've used this card overseas without issues. It has a decent exchange rate (on par or slightly better than 28 degrees), and being able to earn points on overseas spend (full earn rate on first $2k spend only) makes it a winner.

          I find that hard to believe when your comment was 15 mins after Schumi5 who provided the answer.

          Happy to be proven wrong.

            @xeion: His comment didn't answer my question since his comment is very specific to a card that I have never had before. it was
            ilubbargains comment that had the answer I was looking for.

        So you can still get other ANZ credit card bonuses i.e. the FF Black?

        • xeion on 03/12/2018 - 15:21

          That's a very good question, it only says the Rewards Travel Adventures.

          You could have a read here and check, or ask them before taking the chance

          Yes, 100%. Wife had the FF black, and then this 2 months later, got the sign-up bonus points on both. They're separate offers and they don't clash with each other.

          Pro-tip: If you're not a regular ANZ customer, 1 week before you cancel the first card, sign up for an ANZ progress saver, and transfer in $10 (as with $10+ balance, it's fee-free). That will keep your ANZ internet banking active, so you only need to visit a branch once to verify your ID once (for the first card) instead of twice (for both cards, if you don't do it this way).

      I was concerned the ANZ Black (Qantas) card was going to impact my eligibility, but I can't find anything that relates to it, so it appears to be just if you've held the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card within the previous 12 months as xeion mentioned.

    Could be worth $1-$2k in Domestic flights depending what routes you want.
