      Looks to be a Visa card.

      No annual fees for first year but after that - ouch. I'm assuming most people would use it for 10-11 months then drop the account.

          It's not $0 fee. $395 Fee and $400 travel credit to offset it.

          @chrislaya: You can mess around with a few key dates / hotels / flights here to compare them https://travel.americanexpress.com.au/travel/arc.cfm?tab=h

          I haven't used my $400 so can't really speak from experience yet! It seems pretty competitive though.

          @banzini:

          Hmmm not bad! For example (Grace Hotel), AMEX travel lists $242 but Expedia says $380. Might take the plunge! Looks like AMEX points to Qantas points is converted as 1:0.75 (with an Explorer card) so 100,000 AMEX is 75,000 Qantas.

        • banzini on 10/05/2017 - 17:54

          @chrislaya: Yep same with Velocity as well, 100k AMEX = 75k velocity (but a bonus 15% transfer on Velocity until end of May) = 86,250 velocity.

          So if you apply under 12 months they will reject your application all together?

          or will you get the card but need to pay the full annual fee without any perks? This is what Amex do.

          Or can you get some perks? Ie the status credits with a Qantas booking before September?

          Not generalizing but why would you pay interest on a car loan when you have 20K in savings. I know it's not a huge amount but at face value it's not a good move.

          no point in having 20k sitting there when you're paying interest on 5k. pay it all off, have 15k savings. otherwise you'll end up paying something like 7k by the time you've paid interest on the 5k

          Ok some background then. I had 30k in savings around this time last year and I wanted to buy my first car new. Car i wanted costed 29k, I planned on paying it off there but dad reminded me its good to have some money in the bank just in case of emergency (which I did use money for a holiday) so I decided on a 10k loan with westpac on 2 year term with an interest rate of 7.49% per annum (other banks were offering 8.49% back then so got a good deal with westpac).

          Again i guess i'm only after building a good credit score. My parents did tell me about one of their friends having trouble getting a home loan because he payed everything off outright and never paid interest on anything.

          @Stingray:
          ok sounds, the opposite to my mortgage experience (having gotten 3 of them). I had to pay off my car which had about 10k owing, before getting approved. On another occasion i had to cancel a credit card to get approved. Maybe you should check your credit score online and see how you're going. Having a car loan sitting there getting slowly paid shouldnt be any better than paying it off in a lump sum after a couple of years.

      You can try applying anyway, just that you might end up with the hassle of being magically approved for the Platinum (or whatever the lower one is) and have the hassle of having to telling them to not bother.

        They declined me.

        I had to call them back, and explain how fortnightly salary x 26 = $77k… :S

      Not much unfortunately, you need a least 200 status credits to get Silver. Which has minimal benefits, such as Qantas bag tags and priority check-in, which just means you don't queue. However for most flights from most terminals you can self check in and bag drop

    • b0b0 on 10/05/2017 - 09:20

      ANZ rejected my application too. Nothing to do with credit history because I pay my credit card bills on time (only 1 credit card) and I have no loan. I spoke to ANZ and they said computer system has a number of conditions (that even staffs may not be aware) for customers to meet.

    • eDust on 10/05/2017 - 09:22

      That's right. The maximum of each of your cards counts towards your debt. So if your credit card has a max of $10k, the bank sees that as a $10k debt, even if you owe nothing on it. If you're applying for a loan (car, house, etc) it's best to cancel all your credit cards first.

      • Duram on 11/05/2017 - 08:05

      Forgot to cancel and hit with $425 fee, Rang to cancel and they only offered the waive half the fee, refunded $212. Just acceptable as most other card are around that much. The bonus points took about 5 months after activation and minimum spend.

      Looking for another Visa card as the Citibank Signature have diluted their points to the extent of not worth using at all, lucky I don't pay any fees

      • d39833 on 10/05/2017 - 11:36

    It is said $0. Was it only annual fee? or inclusively with reward fee? Apparently with other banks, annual fee is already include reward fee (if the card is a reward card).

    I just had an argument with ANZ due to my credit card with mentioned free annual fee if I have home loan with them. YES, it is free for annual fee, but not reward fee. What a joke. I did cancel and downgrade to non reward card.

  • djz on 10/05/2017 - 11:31

    Man this offer is pretty poor compared to what I signed up to last year.

    Back then they gave:
    - 75k qantas points but also an AMEX with 3:1 points accumulation
    - 2x Qantas club invites per year
    -free unlimited entry to AMEX club lounge at Sydney airport.

    Now for the same $400+ yearly fee most of the above is gone except the qantas points?

    No deal. In fact I'm cancelling mine shortly due to them removing the AMEX.

    • Shuey on 10/05/2017 - 11:57

      Nope, you still get the 2x Qantas Club lounge passes a year and AFAIK you can still access the AMEX club lounge till they withdraw the card officially on 4 Aug 17.

      Not too sure about the point structure. But they have added the 75 status credits which was not available (when I applied in Dec 16)

        Why does it matter? Keep applying. If it comes time to get a real loan cancel all cards and show you aren't in debt. Credit scores mean nothing.

        Apparently getcreditscore is not always accurate, plus you get spammed after submitting all your details.

          Probably, I ran it again last night and got "Good".

          Also, I've always clicked "unsubscribe" as soon as it emails me the score and I've never got spammed.

    FYI - For those on the ANZ Breakfree package, you can replace the standard credit card with this one and the annual fee will be waived so long as you stay on the Breakfree Package.

    I did have to negotiate this with my Bank manager as the card you're entitled to is the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum which only gives you 50,000 bonus points and no status points

    Thanks OP and OZB. I changed over because of this post. +1 from me.

      UPDATE: Even though ANZ will waive the annual fee on this card if you have the Breakfree Package, they will still charge you an annual fee of $110 for the rewards program (I know this as I've just been approved)

    so i need to spend $2,500 to earn 75,000 bonus Qantas Points*?

      Yes. Within 3 months.

      Easily done if you have rego, insurance, council fees due etc… like myself (damn they come thick and fast)

      In case you are wondering, use the AustPost pay option if possible so you can use your credit card instead us BPay bank transfer.

    "*Not available in conjunction with other offers, packages or promotions, or when transferring from an existing ANZ credit card or where you currently hold or have closed an ANZ Frequent Flyer, ANZ Frequent Flyer Gold, ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum or ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card within the previous twelve months."

    I currently hold the ANZ Black Rewards card. If I close this card account, and apply for the ANZ FF Black - will I be eligible for the bonus points? It's not a transfer so I'm hoping yes.

    The other question I had was, the current Black Rewards card is part of the Break Free package so I don't pay the annual fees on it (only the $55 rewards program fee which is a BS in my opinion). If all is successful with the above, I'm assuming I can should be able to substitute the new card to have its annual fee waived as part of the Break Free package?

    • Roemac on 10/05/2017 - 15:58

      That's pretty much what I did with the exception of having the Black Rewards card. I had the 'regular rewards card' and have applied to 'changed over to' this card.

      Off topic but do you go by the same handle on OCAU?
