    Value is questionable, what's the mark-up on flight centre compared to direct bookings?

    • illumination on 27/08/2016 - 01:21

      I think this is a great deal.
      Flight more expensive on Flight Centre? Great. That means you can price beat.. albeit only by $1. But my point is that you don't need to worry about it being more expensive than others as this gives you the opportunity to price beat.

      Also - only book with Flight Centre (or any 3rd party for that matter) if you're fairly certain you're going to fly (i.e. not changing plans) because you have to pay double the fees if you wish to make changes. You need to pay a set of fees for the 3rd party for amendments, and the airline, which is just Flight Centre passing on the airline's charges to you.

      • samehada on 27/08/2016 - 01:50

        true, they slug me with $400 x 4 tickets for my mistake and my ticket is ~1000 each. Their fees on top of the airlines fee is ridiculous. When it comes to amendment, they are truly robbers.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/08/2016 - 02:18

        Wasn't aware they price match (beat), this actually isn't that bad of a deal then.

        • cloudy on 27/08/2016 - 10:26

          I believe they can only do this if they service the airlines u found. Ie, if they don't, they can do anything for you. So the airasia cheap flights u found can't be beaten, but the qantas flights to malaysia, they can.

        • Ryugen on 27/08/2016 - 18:03

          @cloudy: No, they price beat everything that they themselves are able to book, including AirAsia etc. Stuff they can't physically book (Nok Air requires credit card paid at checkout to be sighted for boarding pass etc), the can't price beat then.

        • vr4indian on 15/09/2016 - 08:18

          @Ryugen:

          They beat price equated by business having ABN and either from/to should be an Australian city

          For maximum saving: purchase Flight Center discounted gift card ( weekle special ) from super market ( discounted e gift card) . go for price beat and pay with FC GC

          You will save at least 10% + supporting Australian job and business

        • Ryugen on 17/09/2016 - 12:40

          @vr4indian: This was true up until about 6 month ago where FC overhauled their pricebeat system. Not advertised but they will now price beat ANYTHING(airfare) given that it's a legit source and does NOT require credit card being sighted upon check-in (again, Nok Air reference)

          London to Perth - Fine
          Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - Fine
          Some Spanish website (For some reason I swear they are all Spanish) - Fine

          Given standard TnCs though, so taking into account all booking/merchant fees, currency, booked on the spot/same day etc.

          Just FYI they will also try to pricematch hotels and insurance as well. More places to use those discounted gift cards.

  • noskich on 27/08/2016 - 01:20

    As per Terms and Conditions any existing user of any ANZ credit card not eligible.

    • shiba on 27/08/2016 - 19:34

      I think it does. The T&C says - where you currently hold or have closed an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card within the previous 12 months.

      • noskich on 28/08/2016 - 00:51

        "This offer is not available in conjunction with other discounts, offers, packages or promotions, when transferring from an existing ANZ credit card or where you currently hold or have closed an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card within the previous 12 months."
        "Existing ANZ credit card" OR "Travel Adventures card".

        • shiba on 28/08/2016 - 10:25

          when "transferring" from an existing ANZ credit card.

        • noskich on 28/08/2016 - 11:02

          @macadamia:

          What do you think transferring means?

        • shiba on 28/08/2016 - 11:58

          If you have an existing ANZ card, you can apply to transfer to another card type (there is a link on the internet banking). I haven't done one before but I think the balance will be transferred to the new card and the old card closed.

          I think this deal should apply to us if we do a new application…

        • noskich on 28/08/2016 - 16:47

          @macadamia:
          Ok, please try and let us know how you go.

        • noskich on 21/09/2016 - 00:10

          @macadamia:

          Have u got the card yet?

        • shiba on 21/09/2016 - 19:51

          @noskich: No.. I didn't apply for it.

        • noskich on 21/09/2016 - 20:06

          @macadamia:
          Why not? I counted on you as my guinea pig.

        • shiba on 21/09/2016 - 20:24

          @noskich: hoping to keep my credit query for bonus points offer instead ;)

    This deal is actually a lot better than the OP suggests.

    For $225, you get a free domestic return flight with Virgin, a $200 travel gift card and no fees on overseas purchases. This would be a great alternative to the 28 Degrees card given that level of value.

    • Wyn-Ryder on 27/08/2016 - 10:51

      Complimentary travel insurance with simple eligibility, free return flight, 2 virgin lounge passes, zero international transaction fees, free international cash advances, and points earn on everything too.

      Seems pretty good to me! Covers both 28 degrees and platinum edge.

      • vetopower on 27/08/2016 - 12:14

        I hadn't thought of it replacing the platinum edge as well. Great point.

      • illumination on 27/08/2016 - 14:35
        +1

        Agree that it's a great card for everything you've mentioned above.

        However, couple of things:

        I wouldn't consider this a replacement for the Platinum Edge (I know you're thinking of the free flight) because on the Platinum Edge:

        • The free flight can be booked in anyone's name
        • The free flight does not need to be booked 60 days in advance
        • The Rewards program that the ANZ earns into (ANZ Rewards) is not as good as AMEX Membership Rewards which the Platinum Edge earns into
        • The points that you earn on the Plat Edge gives you bonuses at supermarkets and petrol stations, whereas the ANZ card just gives you a flat earn at wherever you spend
        • The 2pts/$ on the ANZ AMEX is basically equivalent to the 1pt/$ you get on the Plat Edge, but this has no bonus points on any type of spend and the points are less flexible relative to AMEX Membership Rewards
        • The travel insurance eligibility is less restrictive than the ANZ Travel Adventures. The Plat Edge will cover you for overseas trips as well, whereas the ANZ only covers you for domestic (it is worded "interstate") trips of up to 14 days.

        On the flipside, the ANZ card is better because:

        • You can book flights from the East Coast over to the West Coast (Perth) which is not possible on the Platinum Edge.
        • 2x Virgin Australia Lounge access per year
        • Forex charges waived

        Considering all of the above, I still think Plat Edge > ANZ Travel Adventures, but why not have both?
        I think of the ANZ Travel Adventures Card merely as a replacement to the 28 Degrees. It doesn't replace the Platinum Edge to me.

        Btw, free international cash advances? Where did you see that? You mean it doesn't cost money to withdraw from an ATM overseas?

        • Wyn-Ryder on 27/08/2016 - 16:10

          Yeah it's not better in every aspect but comparable. I have the platinum edge but may have my partner apply for this one.

          As for the cash advance it's point #3

          ANZ will waive the overseas transaction fee on foreign currency transactions and transactions where the merchant or financial institution accepting the card is located outside Australia. ANZ will also waive the cash advance fee if you use your ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures account to withdraw actual cash from a branch or ATM located overseas. A cash advance fee will apply to any other cash advances on your account. ATM operator fees may apply.

      Agree ! This is a great deal as the Flight Center voucher and Virgin return flight more than pays for the annual fee.

      • argonbay on 28/08/2016 - 00:03

        I think Flight Centre voucher is a one-off?

        • twitch1979 on 29/08/2016 - 10:58

          Correct. If you use the flight to book East to West coast you should be able to still get value out of the annual fee ongoing.

  • gza on 27/08/2016 - 11:41

    I would go for this if I didn't need a better credit rating for a house purchase

  • rpalmer on 27/08/2016 - 13:00

    How "limited" are flights over the public holiday weekends? Is it near impossible to find a free flight? How about the end of year period?

  • maulmonk on 28/08/2016 - 08:54

    Anyone know the restrictions as to the free flight?

    So someone said that you can fly East coast - Perth OK? Cause thats a big pain for me being from Perth and now living in Sydney with the Platinum edge card…

    • Wyn-Ryder on 28/08/2016 - 20:28

      There's a map on the ANZ page, but link below.

      Seems like Syd —> Per is fine.

    • illumination on 28/08/2016 - 22:43

      Yea on this card you can do it in either direction. With the Platinum Edge & Velocity Platinum, you can only do PER-East Coast return (in the case of Velocity Platinum, only PER-SYD). The flight cannot originate on the East Coast to Perth for those two cards.

  • Mortgage Broker on 09/09/2016 - 07:05

    Anyone know if the Flight Centre flight can be booked for somebody else?

    • railspider on 18/09/2016 - 16:51

      Look like it's just a voucher code that expires in 6 months (not great!)

      Not sure if it's locked to the account holders name, would hope not.
