    Surely they have started to clamp down on people signing up for 11 months just for the points.

    There must be a catch

    • I got this card then they have the adventures card bonus out.
      Keen as that is good for international travel.

    • -2

      The only catch to get the 7500 FF points is to spend $2,500 in the first 3 months

      • You could just buy something and then get it refunded onto a different card

    • +23

      Actually you're better off closing it as soon as the points are credited so you can apply again in 12 months and get the bonus again.

      • +5

        exactly what Ive done the last 3 times. Just got my 3rd round of points!!

      • +1

        Is there an alternative Visa/MC with 1 QFF point per $1 spend with no annual fee, to get by after closing this ANZ account?

        • +2

          Unless you're spending over 75k a year on the card, the bonus points alone are worth it.

    • Nope.

    • +5

      The bank are very clever, sure that every $$ they loose on points they will make $$$$$$$$ on people over spending and paying back Interest for years on end…

    • No they havent. Im on my 3rd cycle of points ;) luckily its only 12 months after account closure you re qualify, unlike AMEX who make me wait 18 months.

    • Nope just did it a week ago :)

  • Huh free virgin flight?

    • oops thanks thats wrong

  • +1

    Probably should add need to book and fly a Qantas return flight to get SCs

    "Buy and fly return with Qantas by 31 January 2018."

    • +1

      Yes that is a drawback!

      Maybe someone can confirm receipt of point before Jan 2018?

      Or do they grab the points back off you if you don't fly?

      • You have to fly first. I've booked a flight in a few weeks and expect the SCs to hit within a month or two after that.
        Just received my 75k points though

    • So you need to book and pay using this card? Cos when I fly for work, I have to put flights on the work card…

      • That's correct

  • +1

    And as usually:

    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.

    • +2

      While you wait, grab 75K ANZ Rewards Black bonus points. I can confirm

      • Same here, I still had FF Black when I applied (now cancelled) and just got my 75k rewards points midway thru second cycle, a month after starting to use card. This card is a keeper for me, >1ppd for visa spend.

        • Keeper even with a $425/$375 annual fee?

        • @chickenface:

          well for 11.9 months…..I am not going to cancel after I get the points
          Mind you, I am on the bandwagon of using Plat Edge buying everyday gift cards for 3ppd then converting them to Only1 Visa cards. Its a bit of a pain, but slowly converting most small spends to these as well as bills where multiple cards can be used :)

        • +3

          @Coops1: I prefer to cancel ASAP to sign up for another 75K points after 12 months. Each to their own.

        • +1

          @muncan:
          We have been lucky ANZ has continued this type of outstanding promotion for the last 24 months or so :)

    • Looks like if you have the ANZ Travel Adventures you're eligible for this promotion then?

  • -1

    What is Status points do?
    Can I fake my income

    • +14

      I'm guessing u earn less than 75k? Explains the grammar

      • +3

        Probably on Centrelink

      • +2

        Hasn't flown Qantas before either given that comment…

        • +3

          Rarely fly….but have slowly accumulated 400k+ Qantas points…..
          Don't know anything about status points though. Something I need to learn? Kindly share in summarized form….instead of negging my comment.
          I am sure there are people too who doesn't know what it is.

          And yes….I am on Centrelink. And no I earn 75k+…..ooops.

        • Probably has flown any airline for that matter

        • +1

          @lovepub:

          Status credits are a means to an end. The end allows you access to the qantas/OW parnters lounge for free (and other perks). You generally can only get them by flying. Achieving GOLD QFF requires flying 17.5 times return from Perth to Sydney on discount economy within a 12 month period.

        • @lovepub: That is what Google is for… or visiting the QFF website.

        • +1

          @hypie:

          You get 20 status points for a red edeal fare and 40 for a flexible fare.

          So 60 for a trip. Plus you get a bonus 50 points for every 300 you accumulate.

          Therefore, 10 flights and your sorted!

          You do tend to lose the will to fly after that though 😋

        • @kermit3169:

          Yeah my work uses a booking flight agency (no idea why), so every flight is basically a red-edeal 20+20. You get 50 points every 500 you accumulate, not every 300. Sad times.

    • -1

      no harm to try

    • Every time you physically fly you get status credits. The amount u get is determined by distance and class of fare. 75 is pretty generous, but won't get you anything with the 75 on its own. But might be enough to get someone Qf lounge entry, so appeals to some.

  • +3

    Without Amex, it is no longer attractive, as the Amex used to give 2 free lounge access

    • Can't agree more

    • +2

      You do get 2x Qantas lounge passes with this though. (I signed up last month)

    • Have another look and you do get two passes with this card - "Get two complimentary Qantas Club lounge invitations 2 each year for use when flying on Qantas or Jetstar"

      • You also get access to various lounges around the world for free (unlimited). Which is fairly impressive. Some of these places cost around $30 per visit.

    • +1

      Only relevant if you fly international out of Sydney.

      • !

      • I don't know how accurate this is…

        https://anz.com.au/resources/6/1/61be9d6d-2c38-4b4d-8ad1-f2f…

        I am going to europe, paris and singapore in september (I have velocity gold access anyway, but still).

        London - Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 Servisair Executive Lounge
        London - Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 Servisair Executive Lounge
        London - Heathrow Airport Terminal 4 Gulf Air Falcon Gold Lounge
        London – Gatwick Airport South Terminal Lingfield Lounge
        London – Gatwick Airport North Terminal Aspire Lounge
        London – Luton Airport The Someries Lounge
        Paris - Charles De Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 Salon ICARE
        Singapore Changi International Airport Terminal 1 Dnata SkyView Lounge
        Singapore Changi International Airport Terminal 3 Dnata Lounge

    • The main benefit when these deals come up are the bonus points. The lounge passes and other perks are just bonuses to the bonus points..

      no longer attractive

      I'd agree with less attractive, but not no longer attractive.

      And as JohnHowardsEyebrows above me said, only relevant for if you're flying internationally out of Sydney (Melbourne to be added soon, apparently).

  • +1

    I applied for this card last year and called to cancel it due to the axing of Amex card. I asked if they can waive the annual fee, they refused but reduced the annual fee to $147

    • when did you cancel at the 11th month?

      • at the 9th month when I got the letter from ANZ informing that my Amex card will no longer be valid after 05/08.

    • +1

      $147 for 2 Qf lounge Passes, 1 pt/$ earn is not really worth it. Although their travel insurance product is good (if u have some travel coming up might make it worth it) but their lack of Amex offers is now a no Deal for me. I'm currently in the 12 month limbo.

      • If in the 12 month cool off period, simply apply for Black Normal. It's not as many points (half as many Velocity in fact), but free's free. :)

        • Currently in cooling off with that as well. But Cheers.

        • +1

          @tunzafun001: LOL

          /Maxwell Smart Voice/

          Have you considered ANZ Travel Adventures?

        • +1

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows: Yeah I have. Haha. Still need to use my Amex EDGE credit before I grab this to justify the $225 annual fee. Also been through the Stgeorge Amplify and NAB FF cards. Actually waiting for a Westpac no annual fee deal.

        • +1

          @tunzafun001: Well the Westpac Black is still great value atm - $195 for 80k points with two Qantas lounge passes (can easily bring that down to $85 after selling the two passes), though the $5k spend is on the high side.

          As for the fee on Travel Adventures, agree, but again, those lounge passes are worth something (and can be sold), the flight is more than worth it if you have use for flying coast-to-coast, and the Velocity points are hard to come by in general.

        • Do you mean ANZ Rewards Black? There seems to be on promotion as well, "75,000 bonus Reward Points when you spend $2,500 within the first 3 months from approval. Plus $0 Annual Fee for the first year".

          Does it mean that we can double dip, apply for FF Black, close, then later apply for Rewards Black, and get 150k points (75k QFF 75k Reward Pts) after meeting the minimum spend requirements within 3 mths?

        • @delfredo: yes, but rewards black convert to velocity, not qff. So u will have 75k of each

        • @JohnHowardsEyebrows:

          I don't know anyone who would by Qantas Lounge passes at $55 a pop.

        • @serpserpserp: Gumtree.

        • @tunzafun001:

          Rewards convert at 2:1 - except for 15% and 50% bonus offers at times

        • whats the cool off period mean?

        • @maddoglee: To be eligible for the ANZ points bonuses, you cannot have held a card in the previous 12 months.

      • +1

        But you can sell 2 Qf passes for $100 and bring the annual fee to $47.

  • Got mine just a couple of days ago. Took 48 hours to get an approval. It was an easy process. They need you to submit your payslips.

  • -2

    I got this card about 3 weeks ago and I saw 75K bonus Qantas points in to my Qantas account in the second statement of this card.

  • So if I spend $2500 in 3 months I will get 75k QFF Points. The Qantas flight is not a requirement for the qff's and I will only forego the status credit and still get the 75k QFF - is my understanding correct?

    • +1

      Well, technically 77500 points but yes.

  • What is status credir

    • -1

      google it ;)

    • +14

      Everytime you apply for credit card, it creates hidden directory on your phone or computer. This directory is called credir. It contains all the information about your past credit cards, bank accounts and it's password.

      • +1

        And you cannot delete this directory as well. All information is saved in a plain text file no encryption.

        • +1

          Hackers often backdoor to your device and steal the info too. Stay woke OZB!

      • +1

        Don't listen to this guy. No hidden directory is created sheesh. It's unhidden. Say to Siri "I see a little silhouetto of a man". Your welcome

  • +1

    This is very tempting.

  • So I ccould apply for this FF card and then the rewards card.
    But wouldn't that make my credit score go down in a short amount of time for both application?

    • Every credit card application brings down your credit score.

  • anybody know if this card can be bank fed on Xero (not via Yodlee)?

  • 75k Qantas points, 0 fee, Qantas Lounge passes, Veloce lounges (the Veloce program seems to be falling apart though), decent earn rate on non-Amex spend, Apple Pay, one of the best credit card travel insurances around - this is the card for frequent travellers to rinse and repeat every 12 months in my opinion (even though they dropped the AmEx companion card).

  • What counts as an "eligible purchase"? If I use this to pay for my visa application fee ($3600+), is that counted?

  • +1

    How much is 75K Qantas points worth in flights, not upgrades?

    • From memory, return economy flights to Singapore or Hong Kong is about 60k points

      • +1

        Plus Taxes.
        The Taxes tend to make or break the deal

  • How does credit card hopping affect you credit rating? I know it takes a small hit with each application but if you're paying in full etc are there any other negatives?

    • Every credit card application will hit and reduce your credit score. You always pay due amount in time will slowly increase your score

  • IF my husband applies can he book/redeem the points for a flight under my name?

    • +2

      He can. He can also transfer points into your account.

      • Thanks champion!

  • Anyone know what the BPAY code is for this CC?

    • ANZ Frequent Flyer Black BPay Biller Code: 6007
