        I thought gift cards expiry is dependent on when the card was activated. For WISH (Woolies) gift cards it's 12 months, and Coles gift cards it's 24 months.

      I bought an NRMA car insurance policy a few years ago and needed a refund. The refund came on a cheque even though I paid with credit ;)

      edit: just make sure you request the refund within the cooling off period.

      • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2014 - 16:12

        So cooling off period allows you to annul it entirely, receiving a full refund?

        • mrjames on 05/07/2014 - 16:20
          +3

          Correct, I was issued a full refund. I think its a salutatory requirement(NSW at least).

          Its also a handy trick if you have a car temporally and need insurance(free) for a month.

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2014 - 16:30

          @mrjames: Hmmm….. so if you needed to spend $5k on a card in three months, potentially you could just pay 5 policies upfront, then ask for a cheque a week after?

        • mrjames on 05/07/2014 - 16:34

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows: I think its only $1500 for the whole 3 months.

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2014 - 16:41

          @mrjames: This one. There are other types. There's one that'll give you 100,000 points ($400 fee), but you have to run through $15k in three months.

    • Vash1984 on 05/07/2014 - 22:39

      Ask your parents/siblings if you could pay their bills until you reach $1500 mark (they pay you back of course). But make sure the bills can be paid with credit card first.

  • Sshanaz on 04/07/2014 - 19:13

    $1100 has been spent on car registration so I am now left with $400 to claim 50,000 points.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 04/07/2014 - 23:46

      Which ungodly state do you live in?

      • Sshanaz on 05/07/2014 - 05:47

        NSW

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2014 - 11:15

          $1100 is car rego in NSW?

        • Sshanaz on 05/07/2014 - 18:53

          $468 = RTA fee
          $590 = QBE Green slip
          $42 = Pink Slip

          If I use NRMA greenslip then the quote is showing $767 :(

        • lovepub on 06/07/2014 - 14:56

          come live in QLD. we got more ozbargain deals here I think!

    • ehunt on 06/07/2014 - 19:43

      I am pretty sure fees are not included as part of the 1500?

  • hamza23 on 04/07/2014 - 23:52

    To save anyone wasting their time who just received their card today, you can activate your card but you can't register / access internet banking as it's down until 1pm tomorrow approx.

  • Sshanaz on 05/07/2014 - 06:00

    If I apply for second credit card and get approved, do I still get 50,000 points for new card?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2014 - 11:16

      Given it's going to cost them in the ball park of $500 for every person they give the points to, I have a feeling they'll be ensuring nobody doubles up. Could be wrong, though.

  • Toaster on 05/07/2014 - 11:58

    Anyone know if you can activate the card before the Welcome Kit arrives? Got my card, but not the welcome kit :/

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2014 - 11:58

      Yes - you just need to know your credit limit.

      • Toaster on 05/07/2014 - 12:38

        Cool, thanks! :)

  • moooooooo on 05/07/2014 - 16:19

  • povertytrap on 05/07/2014 - 20:49

    Just applied, immediate approval. A bit surprised as this is my 7th credit card. I genuinely forgot to put in one of my cards with its limit but ANZ still accepted what I was saying. My total credit card limit came to $45k, should actually have been $60k. I applied for 15k limit,$1000 per month.

    • lovepub on 06/07/2014 - 14:59

      out of curiosity….what's your annual income? 150K?
      mine 50k seems hard to get approved even for basic card with 1000 limit

  • drewh on 06/07/2014 - 01:47

    Just a ques, how long does the card take to arrive in business days? Need to make a $500 purchase on Wednesday, if I applied today would it be here to Brisbane & usable by then?

    • nadan on 06/07/2014 - 02:47

      Should be, it took two days for mine in VIC.

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 06/07/2014 - 11:10

      It seems to take two days to arrive in Melbourne (mine too), not sure about Qld. Also worth noting you'll need to be approved - rather than referred - tomorrow. Good luck!

      • drewh on 06/07/2014 - 13:42

        Thanks heaps :) fingers crossed and lets see. I'm an existing ANZ customer so hopefully that might speed things up.

        • nadan on 06/07/2014 - 14:46

          You won't be able to get one if you are already with anz.

          @nadan:

          Are you sure? No offer only applys to new ANZ customers in the fine print that I can see. Says new applicants but not about being an existing customer.

        • chubbyguts on 06/07/2014 - 19:28

          @nadan:
          I am an anz customer. I have rewards platinum and just applied for the frequent flyer card to get the bonus point. I got approved.

  • l2argain on 06/07/2014 - 03:02

    Instantly approved for black $16k. Rang to reduce limit. They said to call back when card comes. How much do you think they'll reduce to? I like low limit cards that I turn over a lot. Ie $2k spend but put money on each week to keep spending..

    • twister292 on 06/07/2014 - 06:26

      Black has to be minimum 15k, Between Plat can go as low as 6k…

      • l2argain on 06/07/2014 - 07:34

        So even if I ask for lower I can't?

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 06/07/2014 - 11:12

          Pretty sure they issue premium cards with premium privileges so they can get big spenders, and the minimum limits are how they find the big spenders. Just have to keep the card locked away. :)

  • drewh on 06/07/2014 - 13:45

    People who applied for Black, did all of you put your income as over $75K? Or less and still approved?

    • Webbo on 06/07/2014 - 20:58

      Less. 60K to be exact. But 18K added for additional investment income.

    • MelbBargainChaser77 on 07/07/2014 - 22:35

      I put my income 68k plus rental income 19k

  • povertytrap on 06/07/2014 - 17:58

    lovepub, my annual income around $110k.

  • fishybone on 06/07/2014 - 23:19

    Does anyone know how to get internet banking set up? It asks for a customer number, which I can't seem to locate on the Welcome Pack.

    • bluedufflecoat on 07/07/2014 - 09:19

      With a regular ANZ account, my customer number is the number on my ATM card…

  • modsec802 on 07/07/2014 - 13:38

    Approved after a week of being deferred with 15k limit on the base model card which I will use for the points only.

  • atuanmu on 07/07/2014 - 14:47

    When I read the eligible purchases which apply to this card, they exclude fees, cash, cash equivalent transactions. Does it mean that payment of council fees ,all utilities bills, school fees, university fees and gift card purchases etc will not count towards the $1500 spending? Please enlighten if I am wrong. If so, what are the best ways to spend the money?

    • fishybone on 07/07/2014 - 22:38

      My interpretation of "cash equivalent" transaction is any transaction that will accrue interest immediately e.g. withdrawing cash from an ATM using your credit card or using BPAY where credit cards are not accepted.

      Edit: Also, when they say fees, I think they mean fees charged by ANZ e.g. late repayment fee

  • loulou1 on 07/07/2014 - 16:48

    hubby and I each did it, I seemed to have a lot more choice in terms of limit. both approved. in the application for hubby there was no request for his QFF number? did we do something wrong?

    • fishybone on 07/07/2014 - 22:35
      +1

      Did he apply for the Rewards card by mistake? That card accuses ANZ's proprietary points, not FF points.

      • loulou1 on 08/07/2014 - 06:11

        will have to get him to contact them. can you contact them by email or only phone?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 07/07/2014 - 18:19

      No you don't. You'll find just below the fee schedule, that it's not payable in the first year.

      • tenoclockfindu on 07/07/2014 - 19:13

        lol awks. yeh you dont need to pay for the first year. thanks :)

  • watwatwat on 07/07/2014 - 19:20

    Lol I applied for the black card and got rejected. Then I applied for the other card and got approved. I just received both a rejection and acceptance letter in the mail. Not sure why I was rejected for the black though.. apparently $80k income with no debt or bad history isn't good enough for them.

  • watwatwat on 07/07/2014 - 20:11

    Anyone know when points are credited?

    • fishybone on 07/07/2014 - 22:41

      Terms say within 4 months of racking up $1,500 in eligible transactions

  • Altezza on 07/07/2014 - 21:32

    Got my cards today, didn't realise i get an Amex and a Visa. Thought it was one or the other, so does that mean spending on either the Amex/Visa card will contribute to the $1500 spend towards the bonus points?

    • Toaster on 07/07/2014 - 22:27

      Yep, both link to the same account, so spending on either will contribute.

      • fishybone on 07/07/2014 - 22:42

        Interesting to note that the visa cars number shows up on the app, but includes the associated Amex transactions. The Amex card number does not show up though.

        • Toaster on 08/07/2014 - 18:37

          Yeah I noticed that in Online Banking…bit weird, as I thought they might both show up…but each individual transaction shows which card was used, and the rewards part breaks it down by card too…

        • oak on 10/07/2014 - 13:33

          @Toaster: That's normal. I had a CBA Visa/AMEX combo a few years ago, same deal. Card was listed as Visa, but all transactions show up in netbanking. I think AMEX transactions have AMEX in the description from memory.

      • incarnate on 08/07/2014 - 19:04

        Bearing in mind that the Amex will earn you more points!

  • MelbBargainChaser77 on 07/07/2014 - 22:37

    Signed up, approved, card received, and activated. Thinking of just buying $1500 worth of Coles cards and using them over the next six months or so. Does anyone know the best place to buy them, with a discount?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 08/07/2014 - 13:18

      You're probably better off buying $1580 worth of WISH cards (5% discount) for $1500. Do you have RACV membership? Or know somebody with an entertainment book?

  • rabkoa on 08/07/2014 - 14:01

    Got the card and welcome kit.
    The offer letter mentioned to verify your ID.
    Do I have to ? as the card can be activated as it is right ?

    Interested in where to get discounted Coles gift card as well. Usually get it via Entertainment book but that discontinued now.

    • fishybone on 08/07/2014 - 15:36

      Yes you need to verify your ID at ANZ. I tried just activating them on the phone, but they didn't work until I went in to get my ID verified. I think you'll be able to skip this step if you're an existing customer though.
