                    @Tech5: Jesus! What a deal! I'd have taken 5000 haha

                    • Tech5 on 21/11/2018 - 20:59

                      @chriise: I know! I'll be back again at the end of the month to cancel. I wonder if they will offer more. It is possibly due to how much spend I have on my main Platinum card

  • DalryThistle on 21/11/2018 - 19:59

    Got approved for this 2 days ago on the $179 deal. Called up St George and they won't waive the fee but they said I could withdraw my application and re-apply through this link.. Thoughts?

    • nightelves on 21/11/2018 - 20:02

      If you're prepare to waste another credit check.

  • sircamel on 21/11/2018 - 20:00

    Anyone know the cost of getting an additional card linked to the same account? I.e. for the wife?

  • Geryatric on 21/11/2018 - 20:15

    0.75 per $ :-(

    • bohn on 21/11/2018 - 20:29

      Plus "10% Birthday Bonus" (which is on spend only, not other bonuses).

    • ahseng on 21/11/2018 - 20:48

      Better than most I think, with the exception of the ANZ black.

      • Geryatric on 21/11/2018 - 21:09

        1 point per $1 spend is standard

  • Skurfer on 21/11/2018 - 21:10

    I might be blind but I can't see any info on if you can get a second card for an additional card holder.

  • Torregrosafer on 21/11/2018 - 22:03

    Tried to apply but got rejected automatically ?

    Does it help when you put the other credit cards you have with different banks or that is not an “extra”?

    Should I just not tell I have another 2 credit cards when applying ? Or just let it go and better be honest.

    Thanks!

      I mean, you could not be truthful, but it would be fraudulent and a breach of the declarations you are making to them. Further, it could easily be uncovered in a short time when comprehensive credit reporting comes in.

      They probably won't check, so you probably won't get caught, but up to you if it is worth the risk.

      • Slo20 on 22/11/2018 - 07:43

        They probably won't check

        All credit cards and their limits show on your credit file so they will check. Plus if you don’t tell them upfront and you are conditionally approved but then get knocked back after credit file checked then you have just wasted a credit check.

        • greennick on 22/11/2018 - 23:34

          They will when CCR is properly being utilised, however I don't think many (if any) banks are consuming it yet. All banks are transferring data to the credit bureau, but not all data, so nobody (that I know of) is relying on an incomplete picture.

          They would have to go back and check, which is what I am saying I don't think they will.

  • Bluey123 on 22/11/2018 - 00:10

    To meet the the minimum spend, does this include BPAY as I tend to Bpay my bills

  • iamblaq on 22/11/2018 - 00:42

    Does it matter that I have three active credit cards already? Combined limit of 30k.

    • greennick on 22/11/2018 - 02:16

      Wasn't an issue for me, but it will depend on your salary. Credit Cards used in serviceability assessments now have to assume you pay the whole balance off in 3 years, which with interest means that will suck up over 10k of your annual pay in their calculations. Add in tax, mortgage, the new card, expenses, etc and the income required to service increases quite a lot.

  • BumbaT on 22/11/2018 - 01:11

    I signed up for their card on friday but through bank of melbourne, do I qualify for this?

  • imed on 22/11/2018 - 01:30

    What's the best way to determine if you have held a credit card with them in the last 12 months?

    • muncan on 22/11/2018 - 03:17

      Check the date on your confirmation letter they sent when the account was closed. Then keep a list of these dates on your phone for easy reference.

    • movieman on 22/11/2018 - 13:39

      Or a 'credit card' spreadsheet.

    • ujwols on 03/12/2018 - 22:18

      could be easy to just call them up. I did call ANZ to fins out the same

  • mjb771 on 22/11/2018 - 08:13

    Thanks OP. I cant seem to find what the interest free period is? Is it the common 55 days?

  • Torregrosafer on 22/11/2018 - 09:15

    I guess I’m not elegible for it. Tried to apply 3 times, each of them took longer to think about all my propertie values etc.
    But I guess since the system automatically rejected me the first time, I’m on their “black list”?

    I have a commbank, westpac and American Express credit card, I don’t know if that also doesn’t help.

    Should I give up or do you think I’m wasting credit checks on this? I don’t want it to affect if I want to get any other cards on a future!

    • Peanut money on 22/11/2018 - 12:20

      Ring them up instead

    • Slo20 on 23/11/2018 - 07:20

      Yes the other credit cards will be impacting you. The lenders use the credit limit of all cards to determine what your possible monthly repayments could be on those cards (even if your balance is zero). For example if your combined credit card limits are $30000 then they can calculate expected monthly repayment of $900 which would be reducing your ‘spare cash’ to service the new credit card.

    conditionally approved….. First time with one of these cards so lets see how it goes.

  • deeeno on 22/11/2018 - 23:15

    Thanks OP! My journey for free points has just begun

  • nine6eight on 23/11/2018 - 10:11

    Noob question. Can I apply on this one without a QFF account yet? It's asking for the QFF number and I head over to QFF to apply but it incurs a $90 application fee.

    Edit: Left it blank. Guess they will give me one. Conditionally approved. Thanks OP.

  • Heybargain on 23/11/2018 - 10:45

    Nice, conditionally approved, now to spend $4K in 3 months…

  • HardQuiz on 23/11/2018 - 21:58

    How long will it take for the card to be delivered once approved ?

    • thestig on 23/11/2018 - 22:40

      The text I received once approved said they will send card and welcome pack within 5 business days. Not sure if they send to my address or my nearest branch because in the banking app it says it has been sent to my nearest branch.

      • HardQuiz on 23/11/2018 - 23:02

        Cool, thanks!

        Planning a big purchase early December and hope to put on this card.

      • Ararat on 24/11/2018 - 21:32

        It said to me they will send to the nearest bank but it came by post to my home 3 days after I got the text that my application has been approved.

  • Dundundunnnn on 24/11/2018 - 16:55

    approved. Should be in the mail within 5-10 business days :)

    • HardQuiz on 24/11/2018 - 16:58

      You received an approval on Saturday ?

      • Dundundunnnn on 24/11/2018 - 17:31

        Yup at like 4pm. Came through via text and email.

        • HardQuiz on 24/11/2018 - 17:43

          If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply ? And did you have to email any documents ?

          • Dundundunnnn on 24/11/2018 - 19:01

            @HardQuiz: Thursday night at like 8pm. I emailed 2x payslips and 3x rental income receipts about 5 minutes after I received the conditional approval to the email provided. It's worth mentioning I'm a ST George customer with all security/loans with them, so they have all my particulars already.

            • HardQuiz on 24/11/2018 - 19:20

              @Dundundunnnn: That explains it I guess. I had an account with them but closed it 3 years ago, so mine may take longer to assess.

  • lizzle on 25/11/2018 - 13:41

    Same as above. Applied on Thursday night, Approved Saturday afternoon, and now just waiting for the card to come in the mail :)
    Only difference is that I was not previously a St George customer.
    Was a bit worried because my two jobs combined don't put me above $75k, but it worked out alright.

  • Gooddeal21 on 25/11/2018 - 20:08

    Applied Wednesday night, conditionally approved, and approved Thursday 2pm.
    Card will be delivered at a branch within 5 business days.

  • the crocodile on 25/11/2018 - 22:29

    Hey guys, just want to check if anyone knows whether people on maternity leave is able to apply? ie, the person would otherwise be on a permanent full-time job with a suitable income but currently has no set income.

    • Gooddeal21 on 26/11/2018 - 08:01

      i wouldn't think so because you need the payslips unless she gets paid maternity leave from work with payslips.

  • deanwan on 26/11/2018 - 07:29

    Applied and approved on wednesday night, no confirmation whether more docs are required. no update besides being processed.

  • DarkDawg on 26/11/2018 - 13:20

    Can anyone confirm there's no fee for choosing Amplify Qantas over Amplify Rewards? For eg with my Westpac card, choosing Altitude Rewards has no fee but choosing to accumulate Qantas points, I think I pay $50/yr to use that program?

  • julioj on 26/11/2018 - 16:50

    Thanks OP! Approved 24 hours after applying.

  • cheapocheapo on 27/11/2018 - 17:36

    Just collected my card! :-)

    • Gooddeal21 on 27/11/2018 - 17:53

      same :) and arrived home I have my welcome package, though on it there is $279 so I might send them an email to ask about it

      • cheapocheapo on 27/11/2018 - 17:58

        I collected mine at the branch. Got only my card. Activated and set up direct debit in the bank itself.

      • Gooddeal21 on 27/11/2018 - 20:07
        +1

        called them and they confirm no fee, it's just generic documents that are sent out.
        Additional cardholder is free, and we should be able to apply online for it, but the person wasn't 100% sure and the only form I found was requiring to go to a branch.
        St George card is not supported on apple pay but it is on google pay.

  • tedzozb on 27/11/2018 - 18:14

    Approved. Thanks OP.

  • rba on 27/11/2018 - 19:05

    How come this deal is so much more popular than the Westpac one? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/401343

    • render on 27/11/2018 - 19:34

      Westpac - 2 credit enquiries and $6,000 min spend ($3,000 Amex + $3,000 MC)
      St George - 1 credit enquiry and $4,000 min spend

    • Gooddeal21 on 27/11/2018 - 20:05
      +2

      I think heaps of people already did the westpac and were looking for a new one :)
      the 75k min income might be a stopper too, where here doesn't seem to be a strict requirement

  • Duece1995 on 27/11/2018 - 20:21

    Got approved without having to provide any pay slips or documents. Not sure from a security perspective this is a good thing.

  • koali on 27/11/2018 - 21:57

    approved and received the welcome letter.
    it stated the annual fee of 279 in the credit card description, does it mean still waived or not? cant find the waived information in the agreement.
    just confirming.. as my application got some issue and I went to the branch to fix it, not sure if it change the free annual fee as well.

    • Gooddeal21 on 27/11/2018 - 22:07

      I called them and they said no fee will be applied, but the documents they send are generic :)

      • bluemoon on 04/12/2018 - 22:33
        +2

        If you look at the wording:
        Initial annual card fee - debited 12 months from the date of the statement …

        Total fees and charges which are definitely payable $279.00
        ———
        This seem to mean that they will charge you $279 in the 2nd year even if you cancel before 12 months.

        • RocketSwitch on 05/12/2018 - 10:46

          When I went in, I saw on the computer, no annual fee this year or the next. Had $0 and $0 next to the columns.

        • qtmai on 05/12/2018 - 21:52

          This means that they will charge you the annual fee 12 months after your first purchase. As long as you cancel the card before that date, they can’t charge you the annual fee

  • 1968 on 28/11/2018 - 09:21

    Body Corporate fees paid via deft will count towards min spend yes?

  • TheUsername on 28/11/2018 - 09:31

    Sorry if it has been asked before.

    I am not a Qantas club member. Before I apply for this card to get the 80K points, do I need to become a Qantas Club member (or any other membership with Qantas for that matter)?

      I don't believe this card comes with a balance transfer option.

  • RocketSwitch on 30/11/2018 - 01:16

      • RocketSwitch on 30/11/2018 - 12:40

        They said we don't send to home addresses for the first card due to security. Subsequent cards, no problem. Makes no sense, but whatever.

  • tunzafun001 on 30/11/2018 - 11:02

    So, council rates…I rang and they said they are eligible as it isn't a 'government spend'. But Qantas Platinum didn't give me points as they call councils a government spend.

    Anyone have a solid classification of a "government spend"

      Best way to go about this is to setup PayPal and pay via BillPay which is through Australia Post but yeah normally purchases that don't normally count, do count through BillPay.

      • tunzafun001 on 30/11/2018 - 15:15
