ANZ Credit Card Bonus FF Points... Anyone received it?

Hi all,

I applied ANZ Black under this promo last August.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/208077

I did my $7500 minimum spend criteria within 2 months of activating my card, but till now I haven't received my bonus points.
How long does it take for them to process the bonus points?
Would be good if I can use those points for Dec/Jan holidays…

  • I Signed up in August as well, and only just got the points through in the last statement.

    • I received this month's statement, still no bonus points :(
      I signed up late August tho.. maybe it's on my next month statement

      • I should clarify. I received the points on my 4th statement (effectively after 3 months from activation)

  • Yep, got mine also around about 3 months after activation, i feel i qualified for the points a long time before being issued them but maybe they were letting the three months 'minimum spend' period run out before awarding them?

  • I got mine just a few weeks ago and met the 3 month spend in beginning of October.

  • Thanks guys for the replies.
    I'll wait for my next statement and see

  • It took me 5 months to receive the qantas points - the rep said that I will get the points within 3 months from meeting the criteria. So if you take 3 months to meet the criteria, then it could potentially take 6 months to receive the credits. But with ANZ rewards for wife, we met the spending criteria within 2 months and received ANZ rewards following month.

  • Just applied and got approval. Does paypal payments also qualify as part of Min spend. Please share some ideas how to recover $7500 back in cash.

    Thanks

    • Paypal for item purchase does qualify as part of minimum spend. Not sure if you only do money transfer.

      • I was thinking loading a prepaid master card via paypal using ANZ CC.

          Hmm.. not sure about that…
          I saw some ideas on another thread.. fully refundable flights, hotels, etc…

  • I applied for it last year and got it after 3 months, but was advised can take up to 6 months. Just call them or walk in the bank and check with them.
    You can also send a secure msg to them.

  • I qualified on the last bill but no bonus points as yet. Hoping they will be on the next bill.

  • I got mine on my second statement. I didn't meet the spending requirements on the first one.

  • I finally received my bonus points on my QFF account this month
    That's 3 months from when I qualified

  • I got the approval online in 60 seconds

    I will get my card in the mail in 5 working days..

    Is the $7500 minimum spend criteria starting from when I got my online approval or when I activate my card?

    Many thanks..

    • I'm not quite sure either.. I done mine in less than 3 months
      What I realise though, the statement doesn't follow your activation date.
      So I received my first statement couple weeks from activation. Not sure if this counts as 1 month

    • within three months of approval.

      • thank you SIR

  • i signed up early september 2015, met the criteria on 30 October.

    So does that mean i should receive it 3 months after i met criteria, i.e. by end of January 2016? if this is right and i still dont receive it by then, then should i contact anz and chase it up? or are they just late and wait another month?

    thanks in advance

  • I rang them today and they told me (after navigating the terrible phone tree and being transferred) that I previously had a card within the last 12 months before I signed up so I wasn't going to get anything.

    • Did you get the first year annual fee waived?

      • Didn't try; I already have a 1.5/1 CC so only sign up to ANZ for the bonus points.

    Just a heads up… anyone who signed up under this promo for 75k points, or 50k points, and also managed to swindle the 0% Balance Transfer (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/215866), you wont get the points even if you met minimum spend.

    I was wondering where mine were - I called last week, and was told that because I took a balance transfer promo out on the card, that I wouldnt be eligible for the 50K bonus points (I missed the 75K promo by a number of days). But on the same token, I was never told this over the phone when I called about the balance transfer (they did verify this by listening to the call - I had to go back through phone bills to track down the day I called them), so the benefit of the doubt applied and they've credited me 50K points as well as keeping the 0% interest free BT.

    So yeah, if you're in that boat - it might be worth a call as to where your points are and raise a complaint… if you werent explicitly told, you might get lucky and score both!

  • Definitely worth a call… Got my 50k sign up bonus points in this statement cycle having got 50m via complaints line back in Feb.

    So I got 100k bonus points in total, a 10month balance transfer @ 0% (as will cancel before I can use full 12months), 2 QFF lounge passes.

    Best promo ever!

  • I've been waiting for 3-4 months, maybe longer. I'll see what happens, they mentioned it may take awhile.
