Big kudos to ravendr for posting this deal for the platinum card @ 60k points for $50 fee. I just took that link and changed the "platinum" in the link to "black" and it came up with this great offer!
Mastercard sign up bonus is 80,000 Velocity, Qantas or Altitude rewards points after $4,000 spend in 90 days. No annual fee for the first year just $50 fee to if you choose qantas or velocity points. Card comes with a couple of lounge passes and travel insurance as most similar cards do. Standard exclusion of not having had this card in the previous 12 months applies.

Annual rewards program fee: $0 if you choose Altitude Rewards; $50 if you choose Altitude Velocity or Altitude QantasMinimum credit limit: $15,000

How long ago did you sign up? Makes me wonder if they will charge you on a different statement.
I guess I want to be able to use the points for flights/flight upgrades. But I just wasn't sure whether the $50 fee was worth it or not
