    yeah I got same question, if you are an existing signature card (non QFF) holder with the annual fee waived, are you still eligible for this offer and will you still get the 70,000 points?

      They are up near the top of world rankings of International Banks, but being pushed down mainly by Chinese banks. I have been dealing with them for many years, and am happy with both their phone service and their web site.

    I filled out the VEDA link in first page posts. Got this:

    0% p.a. for 24 months on balance transfers and a $0 annual fee in the first year. You will also receive 2.5 additional rewards points per $1 of domestic spend for the first 3 months
    with the Citi Rewards Platinum Card

    I currently have ANZ Black FF card. Looking to cancel in July when the $425 is due. Anyone manage to get this waived by threatening to cancel?

    Am getting 1.5 QFF points on the Amex, 0.75 on the VISA. If I cancel I can't seem to find anything with same/better earnings without getting separate cards and exorbitant fees. Anyone find something comparible?

      @DanMar
      Last friday, I tried to get ANZ to waive the fee for Black FF card which was due for renewal on the 26th June.
      I have been with ANZ for over 30 years and had spent over $122k in the 12 months that I had the card, but the CSR wouldn't budge and said it was policy as I had received the bonus QFF points. So I told him to camel the card and he was happy to do that.

      As for alrernatives; NAB have a QFF card which earns 1.5 on AmEX, but only 0.5 on visa. $250 p.a. Fee
      Westpac : 1.5 on AmEX and 0.625 on MC. $395 pa fee
      Special promotion of the $0 annual fee in the first year is for existing Westpac customers who apply via westpac.com.au and click on the Westpac customers 'Apply now’ button. New cards only. Offer ends 6 July 2016. See 'Things you should know' section below for this promotion's terms and conditions.

      Just open a savings a/c and you should be able to get this card for free for the 1st year.

      Personally I use a separate visa card whenever AmEx is not accepted that earns 1point per dollar spent. (Qudos Bank)

  • dannyc105 on 05/06/2016 - 19:59

    Can anyone confirm whether they had to prove their income? Or was it automatically accepted if you met the 75k limit

    Just applied over phone. Just in case anyone wondering I have been a citibank account holder with normal debit card (not credit) and this was ok to apply. My question is for the 3 g spend in 3 months. I will be working overseas with no real costs coming up so need some other way of getting it done. Has anyone done the old refundable flight? if so how long before i can get a refund more or less. Also i remember someone talking about with Citi you can write a cheque to yourself. What was the story with that, is it a purchase?
    On another note if anyone wants to know you have 90 days to do balance transef. So you can spend the 3k then apply (or otherwise you dont get interest free days if you already have balance transfer).

  • knowwhat on 15/06/2016 - 19:03

    Does anyone know till what day is deal available?
    I am contemplating on signing the deal at a later date just to spread out the time period for signing these points deals.

    I didn't see a spot to enter the frequent flyer number on the application.

    is this normal?

      It's entered at card activation

    • martino on 28/06/2016 - 16:06

      I had to ring citi and have my QFF number added manually. This triggers an annual $49 rewards fee.

  • nguyentai8 on 20/06/2016 - 13:14

    Can I use this oversea like the Citibank Debit without exchange rate charges?

  • thydzik on 23/06/2016 - 18:26

    i hate the applications that call you to confirm details. not a good sign if they do.

  • knowwhat on 25/06/2016 - 08:14

    Are there any referral bonus points that could be combined with this deal?

  • muncan on 29/06/2016 - 09:13

    Got nervous I haven't yet been charged the $49 fee and accumulating Rewards points, so I gave Citi a call. Apparently I hadn't been properly opted in, despite doing so at activation. The operator claims to have fixed this for me now. It's quite likely we just switch to Qantas at the end of the month. Maybe see what happens early July before calling?

    Your points will automatically be transferred to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program each month
    This program has an annual fee of $49 in addition to your card's standard annual fee
    https://www.citibank.com.au/aus/credit_cards/qantas_rewards.…

    I was told the 70K points will be processed on the 4th month, and will appear on the 5th statement. Might want to set a reminder….⏰😴

    • muncan on 10/09/2016 - 23:29

      70K bonus points on my 3rd statement today. The initial spend I made in the first month didn't count because they didn't opt me in to Qantas rewards correctly the first time. So I had to spend double and also lost my Citi Rewards points I had otherwise earnt.
      Adios Citibank!

        How did you first find out that you were approved? I received an sms saying that my application has been finalised amd that I should receive the outcome in the mail. I wonder of that means it has been declined?

    Since I have got my points I no longer have a user for this card. I already have benefits such as priority pass, insurances, etc from other cards.
    I rang Citibank today to cancel the card, they offered to reimburse my annual fee of $99 if i kept the card.

    I took the offer and now intend to cancel before the fee is due again next year.
    I got these bonus points for $49!

    • brazen00 on 16/09/2016 - 13:45

      What's stopping you closing the card as soon as the $99 credit hits?

      • richardk8 on 16/09/2016 - 20:54

        nothing, dont feel like pushing my luck.

  • Pandamony on 20/09/2016 - 09:19

    Citibank have said that I didn't qualify for the 70,000 bonus Qantas Frequent Flyer points because part of the $3,000 that I spent on the card was a BPAY payment - and that BPAY payments don't qualify. It has been more than 90 days since I opened the account, so too late.

    Additionally I found out about a month into having the card that I was not enrolled for Qantas Frequent Flyer points because I had to ask for that separately. Even though I told them on the phone when I opened the account that I wanted the account with the bonus QFF points. All the points that I had accrued were lost when I transferred over from Citi Rewards to QFF.

    I have closed the account. What a waste of $148.

    • snuke on 23/09/2016 - 10:45

      Yep, T&Cs do say that. I have to chase where mine are.

      Purchases refers to any Retail Purchase which is made by the use of a Card or any other means permitted by Citibank, excluding transactions by way of Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions, fees, purchases of foreign currency and travelers cheques, foreign exchange and ATM/ Bank charges, interest charges, finance charges, government charges, payments to the Australian Taxation Office, insurance charges, payments to Citi loan accounts (mortgage etc.), BPAY payments, purchases in excess of limits on the Account, transactions made in operating a business

      Edit, called and got told what the T&Cs say - Bonus Qantas Points will ordinarily be credited within 6 - 8 weeks of meeting spend criteria.

      • tanksinatra on 27/09/2016 - 11:15

    +1 for making the minimum spend and then being told I have to add QFF number again. Bit of a scam.
