    Approved, thanks OP. Another card to add to the collection haha. Now to find $1.5k of stuff to buy…

  • lovepub on 02/07/2014 - 17:50

    point of advice.
    I got knocked back. I asked the gentleman if it's because my 2 other credit cards limit is $15,000. and he said "YES". maybe it is also to do with my outstanding 250k mortgage with weekly repayment of $400 and monthly spend of $1000.

    I kinda made up these figures. I dont have any outstanding credit card debt, mortgage has +ve credit balance as I have more money in the offset account than my loan. monthly spending I am roughly on 3~5k.

    So if you want a fast approval, I dont know how thoroughly they check, just ….LIE a little bit about your credit limit. save the hassle. As long as you dont go nuts with your credit card.

    spend wise!

    Will try re-apply again….hopefully this time will work.

    • lovepub on 02/07/2014 - 17:52

      just not sure if I should cancel my MYER card (which has no rewards program)…..then that should bring my credit limit down to 10k .

      • nadan on 02/07/2014 - 23:22

        Yes, that is some crazy amount, I put my earnings as $450,000 :)

        No, seriously less than $100k with minimal expenses.

        • massafiri on 03/07/2014 - 14:55

          Are you a woman by any chance?
          My gf and I both applied for a credit card in the past - I earn about $10K higher than her, have similar expenses/credit and I have greater assets.
          She got $10K credit, I got $7K.

    I have a earth black card with westpac which has $15,000 limit.. which i pay off monthly.. i didn't even mention i had it.

    I also ticked that i have savings, own my home, but in the box about savings i seen the optional asterix to list the $x value of my savings so left it empty.. I didn't want to tell them.. i also only ask for 1000$ credit on the standard Frequent Flyer card.

    Funny after all this and my wage they still refereed it but woke up this morning to a email i been approved.

    After I collect my points i will be closing my account, I did the same for my wife so 100,000 points my way soon which will boost my Qantas total points to about 450,000 :D

        • No on 02/07/2014 - 18:45

      • strat on 02/07/2014 - 23:03

        Qantas points don't expire unless you stop accumulating points i think its around 12months might be wrong.. as long as you earn points or use the credit card (or a everyday rewards card) that is linked to the Qantas membership.

        • stiiky on 02/07/2014 - 23:16

          You have to have flown at least one eligible flight segment on Qantas in the preceding 18 months for points to stay alive. If you haven't flown in the last 18 months, all points earned before then go out the door.

        • strat on 02/07/2014 - 23:22

          From 1 July 2010, your Qantas points won't expire provided you earn or use points through your account at least once every 18 months, although Transitional Rules may apply. This includes earning or using points with our program partners.

          Note: This does not include transferring points to or from a family member.

          The 18 month time period starts from the date of your last eligible activity. If your last activity was an eligible flight, it is the date the flight was taken.

  • jackofspade on 02/07/2014 - 18:54

    Do they actually send you both cards for American Express and VISA linked to the same credit account? How does it work?

    • strat on 02/07/2014 - 18:57

      yes 2 cards linked to same credit/account use either or when amex is not accepted.

    I know nothing much about credit cards and need a bit of advice… I got approved for one with a $1000 limit (in 60 seconds btw, thanks OP) and I want to pay a $1200 council rates bill with it (they do take credit-card via Bpay, so it should count towards the 1.5K). Can I just deposit a bit over $200 onto the card first, then pay the bill do you reckon? Or will I need to split the bill into two payments? My CBA credit card allows me to go as far into the black as I want with it… I assume they all do?

    Also, would the council rates bill qualify for the interest-free period, or would I be wise to get the card's balance back to '$0 owing' the next day (or even the same day?), to avoid incurring any interest?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 03/07/2014 - 15:48

      Don't know if there's ever limits (certainly not at that level) on how much a single transaction can be. Should be no issues.

    FYI,

    I had to send more documents in and never got an email or call. I called them today and asked what's the go and they said that I had been approved, and that you don't get an email or call when you are approved. You just get the card/documents in the mail. They can't say the credit limit on the phone.

    So if you don't have an answer like I did, call them up and they will let you know.

    So I now know I have been approved but I have no idea what my credit limit is lol.

      Received a call a day after sending in my employments documents, the girl on the phone verified most things. I didn't receive any follow up email so I called today. After being transferred 3 times I was put through to the 'credit approval team'. The stressed girl on the phone said it had been approved and the cards will be sent soon.

      Looks like ANZ underestimated the demand :p

  • AmericanDad on 03/07/2014 - 19:03

    • lolmao on 03/07/2014 - 19:27

      One Amex, one Visa. Amex earns more points so use it where its accepted. Use the Visa when only Visa/Mastercard is accepted.

  • lovepub on 03/07/2014 - 19:50

  • twister292 on 04/07/2014 - 05:05

    I applied and got referred…

    I already have the Black FF (which was converted from a Rewards Black, which in turn was converted from an ANZ First with a limit of 23,500).

    The CSR offered to keep the Black card as is, and instead of going into my credit file for another check, keep the same combined limits across both cards by lowering the Black by the limit of the newer card.

    I told them to take $1000 off the limit for the Black, and open a new FF Basic card with a limit of $1000…now to pump all my spending for the next few months through the new ones…

    They said a "new" credit card means any application that is lodged as a separate one. Any cards you already hold with ANZ can be closed and new ones opened (that will be a new credit assessment from scratch), or you can leave them be and open another one and get the Bonus.

    As long as you dont close an existing CC through an inter-product transfer, you should be fine to get the bonus.

        cool thanks for that… oh and does the standard ANZ Frequent Flyer ( NON Platinum ) also get 55 days interest free.. cant see it anywhere on the website info. I plan on keeping the car so wanted the cheaper yearly fee for a less points.

          +1

          I doubt any card offering rewards points wouldn't be interest free.

          Look, from what I can tell, ANZ will waive fees if you call to cancel, so if I were you I'd go with the best card you can qualify for (especially with the freebies the black gives). You'll earn more, you get freebies (lounge passes), and, even if they don't waive the fee, in a year's time, you just cancel the card, get a different card with a points promotion. Rinse, repeat etc.

          One fall back that's always there is the Woolworths Mastercard. 16,000 bonus points for new holders more than covers the $89 fee (waived if you cancel each year). And there'll be others.

          The earn rate of the basic cards at the big four is shite - don't use them as intended. ;)

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows:

          Ok after a little more digging i found how long the interest free period is -

          Up to 44 days vs Up to 55 days on the Platinum or Black .. so I'm happy with that. will still shop around for the cheapest CC fee on another card when it comes time to pay up the fee if a new promo hasn't made me change earlier on the ANZ

          @vid_ghost:

          My advice is, if you get offered a fee waiver each year you call, accept it. It's a great card - just not worth $400 a year.

        • vid_ghost on 04/07/2014 - 12:22

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows:

          My fee is $95 Total Annual Account Fee for the ANZ Frequent Flyer that i signed up for.
          So would that be worth the price to keep.. I didn't really care about the other bonuses the more costly cards came with.

          The CBA awards card charges $89 pa for 0.6% QFF points per $1 but no bonus 50,000 points
          so this looks to be a much better value card at 1 QFF Point per $1

          @vid_ghost: Only if you use the Amex a lot - but if you use the Amex a lot, you may as well get an Amex Amex (e.g. the fee free Qantas card, same earn rate).

          Depends on how much hassle you can stomach.
          0.5 points for Visa/MC is a bit crap, but if you just want a reliable card (that you can often have the fee waived for), I guess it's not a terrible card.

          The best deal is the Citibank Signature (think it's been extended again) - fee free for life, 1:1 points earning with Virgin or Singapore Air, and 2 free lounge visits (overseas) per year.

    Approved, thanks OP!

    Some intel i gathered from their credit approval department: if applying for platinum and given a credit limit of higher than 15000, it is possible to ring them up after activating your cards and requesting product transfer to black. That's the way to go me thinks, as it's much safer than getting the flick if applying for black and not meeting requirements. Hope that helps.

Most uninspiring customer service person I've ever talked to! (not rude as such, just had a "oh, when with the tediousness end!" tone! Anyway, if you're waiting for a response, it might pay to call them to see what the status is, because apparently they don't (always) email/call/text/Morse-code you to let you know.

    Approved, received and activated… How to spend the required $1,500 without really spending it now? Any tricks? Best scenario would be to buy something, return it and get refunded by cheque.

    Just recently paid for all vehicle registrations and insurances. Also for an expensive overseas flight…struggling to reasonably spend $1,500 now.

      Not sure you can get a refund via cheque. You could spend it on gift cards as mentioned elsewhere. If you have access to an Entertainment Book account, they're 5% off. I'd buy in multiples of say $250 though, as they have an expiry date from when they are first used.

      Wonder if tax payable to ATO is considered an eligible purchase. I doubt it, but still good way of earning points.

        It is with Macquarie - it'll be in the fine print somewhere if it's excluded.
