      The $3.40 PPSR/REVS report has been happening for years and yet it is still a great bargain. Things that have been happening for years can still be bargains when they're reposted.

      • serpserpserp on 20/04/2018 - 22:20

        I got my card today and it took them forever to ID me at the branch, probs over 45 minutes. They kept asking me if I decided to get the card because of the bonus points? No I am not going to tell you I am getting a card for the bonus points! None of your business ANZ!

    • LemonShapedRock on 08/04/2018 - 07:07

      How soon do you receive the points after you hit the minimum spend?

      I hit the spend in the first two weeks, would it be likely I’d receive the points before the three months is over?

      • sqleonhart on 08/04/2018 - 09:02
        +1

        I hit the minimum spend by 2nd statement but only receive the points when the 3rd statement is issued.

        • LemonShapedRock on 08/04/2018 - 09:57

          Awesome, thanks for that.

          Makes sense that they’d only grant the points after the eligibility period, otherwise you can make a huge purchase, refund it and still get the points.

        • serpserpserp on 20/04/2018 - 22:21

          @Joe146:

          No all card providers are like that. With Amex recently I hit the minimum spend in about 3 weeks and they issued the points to me a few weeks after.

      • bozbargain on 08/04/2018 - 09:59

        Absolutely. The bonus points are normally credited to Qantas within a week or so from reaching the spend threshold and happen separately from the usual monthly credit card statement cycle. I got mine last month about a week after the points from my first statement.

    • jaygriz on 08/04/2018 - 07:58

      So when you cancel the card but the qantas points remain on your qantas account indefinitely?

      I already got the Amex 100k bonus points, these would just add to those points right?

      (I'm new at this)

      • ozkiwi75 on 08/04/2018 - 08:16

        Short answer, yes. I've done this with a few credit cards.

      • SuiCid3 on 08/04/2018 - 15:08

        Yes, third party points (QFF, Velocity, etc) are not linked to the card itself so it doesn't matter if the bank card is closed.
        You get to keep your points.

    • PeeDee on 08/04/2018 - 11:24

      Why don't you just cancel now?

      • SuiCid3 on 08/04/2018 - 15:07

        What do you mean?
        Not really sure what you're asking..
        I've already cancelled the card.. almost 1 year ago to the day (I add it to my calendar when I do).
        And even if I just cancelled it now, I'd still have to wait 12 months before I'd be eligible for the bonus points.

        • PeeDee on 08/04/2018 - 15:13

          Oh i thought the bonus points come when you sign up for the card and went you do something on the first few months.

        • SuiCid3 on 09/04/2018 - 07:53

          @PeeDee:
          The points come within 3 months of activating/using the required spend on the card.
          The issue is that you cannot then go and reapply for the same card and get the bonus points again. You need to wait 12 months between closing the card and reapplying to be able to receive the bonus points a second time. Hope that makes sense.

    • RimofLeo on 08/04/2018 - 01:54

      ANZ require proof of income ie payslip. You can get away with this on other cards\banks though.

        Doesn't stop anyone from editing their payslips before sending to ANZ ;)

        • [Deactivated] on 08/04/2018 - 10:31

          Doesn't stop them from finding out you used fraudulent documents, and doesn't stop them from recording a hit on your credit file and potentially blacklisting you from ANZ for life either.

    • buckster on 08/04/2018 - 07:53

      It's not a year long offer, but it occurs at least a few times each year

    • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 08:21
      +1

      The offer isn't open all year but it is fairly regular. You sign up, spend 2.5k, pocket the points which land in your QF account (not ANZ), and cancel immediately. Then wait for 12 months before doing it again. For this time around I signed up in late Feb and the points reached my account this week - so just under 7 weeks all up. Not bad for 30 minutes work! With the 75,000 points I could net $750 at least, possibly as much as $820. There are plenty of buyers right here on ozbargain who will relieve you of them.

      • icanfly on 08/04/2018 - 08:23

      • R3XNebular on 08/04/2018 - 08:53

        Was thinking about doing this. So you had no issues getting the points using this method?

        • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 09:03
          +1

          I've not experienced any issues to date. I simply tell them I'm cancelling and they tend not to make too much of an issue. I've received the points every year for 5 years.

          Remember these bastards are making in excess of $5b a year so I for one feel no remorse for doing to them what they do to hard working Aussies every day.

        • R3XNebular on 08/04/2018 - 10:18

          @Lunarboogie:

          Excellent always thought about doing this.
          So sign up Feb 2018. Get points April 2018. Cancel in April 2018. Apply for same credit Card April 2019. Repeat steps?
          Was worried I'd have to sit on the credit card for a year before cancelling.

        • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 10:34

          Do a search for Tuvz who dutifully mans this site like a ravenous owl and he'll buy them off you for a cent a pop. He's totally legit. But there are other buyers too, some of whom are willing to pay more. I can't vouch for them but I can for Tuvz.

        • MID on 08/04/2018 - 10:38

          @Lunarboogie: Thank you sir! Also do you know the difference between the QFF point and ANZ Reward point? i.e. what is the $ amount in converting the 75k reward points? https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/rewards/black/

          TIA

        • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 10:45
          +1

          @MID:

          The two have two seperate rewards programs. One that earns QF points and the other ANZ rewards points which can be transferred to a range of frequent flier programs, including velocity, for half a point. This means the ANZ rewards program has half the value of the QF one but it may suit those who aren't interested in Qantas points and prefer to fly Virgin.

        • MID on 08/04/2018 - 10:48

          @Lunarboogie: thanks again. Although I have no preference in Qantas or Virgin, I might go with the QFF since I could go to on-sell this for some cash (to pay down mortgage).

          @MID:

          Good call. Every dollar counts. Bear in mind Tuvz will also buy Velocity points off you for the same price. Heck he recently purchased 9000 Emirates points off me which were just sitting in my account doing nothing. Easy $90.

        • Baghern on 08/04/2018 - 11:43

          @MID: From what I've read on the forums because they're seperate programs you could grab both at the time and get the points for both

        • MID on 08/04/2018 - 11:44

          @Baghern: Wow this is even better. thanks for the tips! Will see if I could get an approval for both tomorrow.

          @Lunarboogie:
          So if you are a velocity collector what's best?

          Qff and transfer or ANZ point and transfer

        • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 20:48

          @Geoff897:

          I am a velocity collector but not at the expense of QF points. Go for both cards and keep your options open. You can get the respective bonuses as long as you maintain a gap of 12 months between cancelling and signing up for each card. Tip is to keep each card only until you get the bonus and cancel immediately, thus setting the clock.
