      Short answer “yes”

      Long answer as per T&Cs
      Eligible Purchase means purchases which are eligible to earn Points. Purchases which are not eligible to earn Points are described in the ANZ Frequent Flyer Reward Terms and Conditions (PDF 1.67MB), for example fees, cash, cash equivalent transactions, balance transfers, premiums paid for ANZ Credit Card Insurance and transactions for gambling or gaming purposes will not earn Points.

      • Robby R on 08/04/2018 - 09:25

        Hi. Just wanted to seek clarification about "eligible purchases", does it need to be a purchase that's eligible to earn Qantas Points (e.g. purchase from Big W, Woolies, etc) or can I spend $2,500 on any purchase as long as it's not one of those exclusions stated on the T&C's?. For example, I want to spend $2,500 by buying goods from appliances online, will this count towards meeting the eligibility criteria? Cheers.

    I've just got my points from this promo when I signed up before xmas, but now seeking a card to go to so I can start the cycle again… Anyone got a good QFF card deal? I can't seem to find any fee-free ones at the moment…

    • Jackal on 08/04/2018 - 09:16

      Following. Similar situation.

      • SBOB on 08/04/2018 - 11:07

        same, once this cards points turn up :)

    • Tungstencalais on 08/04/2018 - 09:22

      St George Amplify signature probably best deal on at the moment? $139 for first year (half the usual annual fee) and 90000 bonus points with $5k minimum spend in 3 months. Not free though.

      • HappyXD on 08/04/2018 - 09:46

        I got the st George one a week ago but regret it because of the fact that they don't support pay with phone (except Samsung??) And they have no ETA. Their app isn't very good either. Very disappointed and feels like a major downgrade after being with CommBank. Should've just got the westpac black as they have all the features I want.

        • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 10:57

          Don't regret it. 90,000 QF points is equivalent to $900. If you minus the $139 annusl fee, it's still worth $761 which is actually more than you can get with ANZ. I got both. And you can sell the Qantas lounge passes for at least $40 on this very site or $50 on Gumtree. I'm Qantas gold so I don't need them and therefore flog the things to colleagues.

        • Peck on 09/04/2018 - 10:34

          @Lunarboogie: I strongly believe that you can easily get 1.1 cents per QFF. And so 90,000 = $990.

        • Lunarboogie on 09/04/2018 - 13:54

          @Peck:

          Are you able to shed light on how? Happy to hear about a way to get a better price.

        • Peck on 09/04/2018 - 14:02

          @Lunarboogie: Advertise on OzB. There was a sale a few days ago where the advertised price was 1.2. I expect that the actual sale price would have been 1.1 - 1.2.

        • Tungstencalais on 10/04/2018 - 06:18

          Agreed - apparently you need to physically go into a branch to do things like setting up a direct debit for the credit card account. Pretty archaic way of doing things.

      • kickling on 08/04/2018 - 11:42

        Thanks… unfortunately, we had our home loan with the St George Group / family of brands within the past 12m (switched to ING recently) and thus counts as being within the 12m blacklist…

      St George Amplify Platinum is pretty good as well. 60,000 bonus points with 3k minimum spend in 3 months. Usually a $99 annual fee, but the first year fee can be waived if you close your browser mid-application. About 10 minutes later an email would be sent offering a fee waiver.

      • JuryWheel on 09/04/2018 - 15:35

        Nothing on the amplify signature if you do the same?

        • Associatedspitsw @ ANZ on 09/04/2018 - 16:25

          Nothing. I just tried for the Signature card and the email received didn't include a fee waiver.

    • kickling on 10/04/2018 - 12:32

      Might be going with Qantas - Premier Platinum Mastercard… 75,000 points for spending only $3000 in 3m. Half price annual fee of $149 BUT you get 2x lounge passes, so not too bad… just depends on how harsh their application process is going to be…

      https://www.qantasmoney.com/credit-cards/premier-platinum

  • Tungstencalais on 08/04/2018 - 09:13

    Do you get the Qantas lounge passes in the first year? I.e. before having to pay the annual fee?

    • bozbargain on 08/04/2018 - 20:33

      Yes you do. Just ring them as soon as you’ve got your card, they may ask you when you’re planning on flying, just mention a date in the near future.

          There's two types of ANZ rewards card:
          1. ANZ Frequent Flyer
          2. ANZ Rewards

          They both run on separate cycles.

  • cooldude123 on 08/04/2018 - 09:22

    What's the best AMEX card with a lower income requirement (~50k range)?

    • sween64 on 08/04/2018 - 09:59

      Amex Qantas Discovery. Earn points. No annual fee. $35k income required

    • lilkid28 on 08/04/2018 - 18:43

      Amex Platinum Edge, where you can earn 3 pts per $ in supermarkets. You can also buy e-gift cards for 5% off and still get 3 pts per $. Use e-gift cards to buy other gift cards like JB hifi, etc.

      But I would recommend that if in your household income is above $75k, get a 100k bonus Amex card first such as the Amex Explorer. Offer ends tomorrow though. You can then do a product change after getting the 100k bonus.

      • bluebluebird on 08/04/2018 - 19:14

        I am assuming I cant get this Amex Explorer if I already have Plat Edge?

        • bozbargain on 08/04/2018 - 20:36

          You can but most people won’t get the bonus points. Like you, I had a Plat Edge already and applied for the Explorer. I managed to keep both accounts ‘separate’ throughout my application process and got the 100k points regardless, happy to share with you my strategy via PM.

        • lonewolf on 16/04/2018 - 15:03

          @bozbargain:

          How about the other way around, I have a explorer and at some stage am thinking of getting the Plat Edge, can i still get bonus points for plat edge with your method?

        • bozbargain on 16/04/2018 - 16:07
          +1

          @lonewolf: it doesn't matter which card you hold 'first'. In your case, I would def. get a PE (even without the bonus points), even if it's just for the 1st year so you 'upgrade' from Gateway to Ascent. Cancel the year after (if you don't need the extra points for supermarket spend) and you can stay on Ascent!

        • lonewolf on 16/04/2018 - 16:09

          @bozbargain:

          Oh I didnt realise even if i cancelled it, i could still stay on the Ascent program, I thought i had to keep both for that.

  • boomramada on 08/04/2018 - 09:53

    So people who cancel this card, you need to cancel just before it hits 12 months right?
    if you cancel earlier than that (lets see 6 months), will that lose your points?

    • sween64 on 08/04/2018 - 09:59

      No points lost.

    • Extide on 08/04/2018 - 10:00
      +4

      You cancel immediately as soon as you see the bonus points in your Frequent Flyer account. Once it is, ANZ can't touch them and you're free to cancel the card. Doesn't matter if it's 4 months or 11 months in.

      • MathNerd on 08/04/2018 - 10:32

        What if you refund your $2500+ purchase that got you to the threshold for the points? Can they claw back the points or are they still untouchable? :)

        • MathNerd on 08/04/2018 - 10:44

        • Slo20 on 08/04/2018 - 13:22

          @MathNerd: a lot of merchants refund back to the original card. If you don’t have the card you might be stuck with store credit.

        • skinny on 08/04/2018 - 16:28

          This is why they do not credit the point straight away.. from memory it take 2 billing cycles. if you can return and get credit after the points are credited, I don't think they can do much with your points

        • Lunarboogie on 09/04/2018 - 14:00

          @MathNerd:

          The points are truly free if the $2500 qualifying threshold would have been spent anyway. I spent mine on bills and the like which I would have done with or without the ANZ card. And you get 2500 points in doing so (government spend excluded) so all up you get 77,500 free QF points as part of this deal.

      • knowwhat on 08/04/2018 - 10:51

        Hey Guys,
        Just be mindful if you are cancelling your credit card too often, it does affect your credit card scoring rate- atleast on the creditsavvy ones.
        I had cancelled one of the NAB credit cards within 6 months period of getting it and had applied for 2 credit cards within that period and could see a fall in my credit score ratings - so could be a multitude of these factors!
        One of the credit card that I had applied was ANZ :) and still using it, almost 6 months into it and thinking whether to cancel it or keep it (I have already received the bonus points )

        • SuiCid3 on 09/04/2018 - 11:08
          +1

          It's the credit application that hits your credit score, not the cancelling.

    • vash12 on 08/04/2018 - 10:24

      I believe you wont lose the bonus points once they are in your account. You can then cancel this card and the 12 months waiting period will start.

  • flux on 08/04/2018 - 09:57

    How does QFF membership work? i.e. how do you not end up paying the fee every year cycling cards, when it's fee free to join for just the first year? Also what happens to points if the membership expires?

    • sween64 on 08/04/2018 - 10:00

      QFF membership is seperate to the credit card. It only has a sign up fee but you can join for free through Woolworths Rewards (and probably others).

      QFF membership doesn't expire. The points do I think if you don't add or subtract from them in a time frame.

      • flux on 08/04/2018 - 10:01

        But isn't QFF an annual fee?

        • skinny on 08/04/2018 - 16:30

          you may have mistaken the Qantas Club membership to Qantas frequent flyer membership

        • vash12 on 08/04/2018 - 17:14

          @kacak:

          Sorry what i meant was after 12 months you will get charge $425 ($370 annual fee + $55 for QFF)
          Additional card holder will also get charge $55 + $10 additional card fee

          T&Cs
          For ANZ Frequent Flyer Black, a Total Annual Fee of $425 applies which includes a $370 Annual Account Fee and a $55 Rewards Program Services Fee. For additional cardholders on an ANZ Frequent Flyer, ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum or ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card, an annual Additional Cardholder Fee of $10 and an annual Rewards Program Services Fee of $55 will apply per additional cardholder on the account.

        • kacak on 09/04/2018 - 08:22

          @vash12:
          I see the confusion, it’s a bit vague in those terms.

          As others have also stated, for Qantas Frequent Flyer membership its only a one-off joining fee with no ongoing annual costs. Most people here would have gotten it for free anyway, it’s a regular offer.

  • Jon Voights Car on 08/04/2018 - 10:13

    One option to consider after you cancel this card is to switch to the ANZ Rewards Black card. It doesn’t give you QFF points but it does give you 75k ANZ reward points which I’ve been using to redeem gift vouchers. Basically means that one year you get the sign on bonus for QFF points, then cancel & do the same for reward points the next year. Then rinse & repeat. No annual fees and a decent amount of rewards points constantly coming in.

    • Lunarboogie on 08/04/2018 - 10:39
