        And now got rejected anyway..😖

    • Danstar on 30/11/2019 - 12:01

      Try clicking the link again. Happened to me first time it just opened up a general page. I clicked it again, it came up with my reference number

      • chillwok on 30/11/2019 - 12:10

        just goes to a application submitted page… no links to add documents or nothing… wtf…

        • alamodey on 30/11/2019 - 13:00

          I am also having this issue. It looks like they haven't tested their application page. Can someone from Kogan Money please address this?

        • Danstar on 30/11/2019 - 13:21

          Try on a computer or something different

            @Danstar: Why give advice on a page that you have never visited? The page and their signup process is broken.

            • Danstar on 03/12/2019 - 09:18

              @watwatwat: Ummm if you have read any of my comments you will see I have visited the page from the exact email nurseboucher would've received!

              And it worked fine for me after a few clicks!

    • Bellpop on 30/11/2019 - 14:53

      Got this too. Gonna bail.

    • pyramid on 01/12/2019 - 07:52

      Bloody painful doc requirements after attaching all doc…

      • pyramid on 02/12/2019 - 12:03

        Got another email that they need more docs. I m done with this now…Already submitted salary slips, bank account, medicare, rate notice….

        • watwatwat on 02/12/2019 - 12:20

          FYI I spoke with their support and they said the system sends requests for info even if you submit all documents, so you can ignore them. So dumb.

          • pyramid on 02/12/2019 - 12:34

            @watwatwat: Thanks. I have given up on this…My home loan bank did not ask for all the docs that kogan is asking for…

          • Make it so on 03/12/2019 - 12:50

            @watwatwat: So nothing changed with Citibank.
            I applied for a fee-free-for-live signature card in 2013. I applied from overseas, online, without submitting a shred of documentation. Got approved, then received requests for documentation (which I ignored).

            Then, 6 years on, they needed the secondary card holder to submit certified copies of ID in a letter before they'd activate her replacement card after the old one expired. So we tried a few more call centre REPs until we got one that just activated it :)

    • whey4000 on 01/12/2019 - 13:57

      Have you gotten any further? I have the same problem.

  • vik27kum on 30/11/2019 - 15:09

    Will I still be eligible for the $500 voucher if I have a Citi Signature VISA Card?

    • alamodey on 04/12/2019 - 15:44

      yes, why not?

  • tunzafun001 on 30/11/2019 - 15:11

    I got this with a recent CBA card as well. Ended up emailing payslips through.

  • whey4000 on 30/11/2019 - 19:44

    They want my employers phone number… I want to sign up but don't wish to put that in.

    • alamodey on 30/11/2019 - 20:15

      put your own one in :p

      • whey4000 on 30/11/2019 - 20:26

        They dont contact your employer right?

        • Danstar on 30/11/2019 - 22:46

          Never that I’m aware of.

        • tunzafun001 on 01/12/2019 - 10:58

          St George did for me apparently. Just put your own number in.

          • Danstar on 01/12/2019 - 11:42

            @tunzafun001: Amex actually called my missus’ work when she applied for that one of those cards. I think they only call if they aren’t 100% confident with the documents you’ve uploaded

              @Danstar: They want proof of income and proof of employment. What can I upload for this?
              This is the hardest credit card I have ever applied for.

    Can $500 kogan.com credit be used to buy anything on kogan's website, e.g. airpods etc?

    Or is it only usable for Kogan home-brand items?

    • Neoika on 01/12/2019 - 17:34

      It can be used on anything on kogan.com including mobile plans.

  • virhlpool on 01/12/2019 - 18:11

    Upvotes show that there aren’t many takers of free $500? Or have people been too busy with Black Friday deals?

    • brettmo on 02/12/2019 - 08:44

      Plenty of people getting knocked back by the looks of it. Myself included.
      We bank 50% of our income, easily serviceable mortgage, permanent full time employment with same employer for over 10 years, no dramas ever with late payments, bankruptcy or anything that would set off red flags.
      The only thing I can think of is we have a citi issued coles credit card?

      • Danstar on 02/12/2019 - 08:47

        I have that coles card and recently got the qantas premier card.

  • kirt on 02/12/2019 - 11:08

        Lol yeah ;)

        My plan is to spend the $500, get the $500 credit, buy 2019 Nvidia Shield with credit, then bail - grab the popcorn!

  • db87 on 02/12/2019 - 12:25

    Applied. Got some chrissy presents and regular shopping to do in the coming weeks. Should blast by the $500 spend without any dramas. I'm not so sure that's a good thing. Haha.

    I also have a top up for the old man's phone credit in the new year so the credit will come in handy.

    We have a great credit score and very manageable income so can only assume we won't get knocked back. 🤷‍♂️ No harm in trying.

    Cheers OP.

    Denied… hmmm hurt me .never got rejected :(

  • Kas on 02/12/2019 - 14:42

    Denied, look like they issue limited quantity and now it is reached.

    • Fancydancer on 10/12/2019 - 07:21

      I just got approved yesterday though

  • db87 on 02/12/2019 - 14:48

    When have people applied to when they found out if they were approved or denied?

  • watwatwat on 02/12/2019 - 14:53

    So to the people getting rejections.. did you get a message when you sign up saying you were provisionally approved?

  • Jaytsukasa on 02/12/2019 - 15:48

    applied today and got approved within an hour. Filled the application for less than 10 min. Seems a very smooth process for me.

    • tunzafun001 on 03/12/2019 - 19:30

      Any other cards / loans / debts?

  • krisspy on 02/12/2019 - 18:55

    Denied. For reference I've got a 28 degrees plus fee free and rewards Coles Master cards. Most likely the citi bank restriction

    • alamodey on 04/12/2019 - 15:41

      I've got a Citi card and got approved for this.

  • carbunkle on 02/12/2019 - 19:49

    I got requested to provide 'income proof' and 'employment proof' despite providing pay slips earlier. Anyone know what else they could want? Employment contract is confidential so I won't be taking a risk providing that…

    • Fancydancer on 02/12/2019 - 20:25

        • carbunkle on 02/12/2019 - 20:32

          I have a credit rating of 840/1000 too…

        • db87 on 02/12/2019 - 20:46

          I'll be thinking the same if I get rejected and it goes negatively against my record. I'm in the 800s also.

          • carbunkle on 02/12/2019 - 20:47

            @db87: I just checked my credit history and citigroup is on my credit as a credit 'check' :S

            • db87 on 02/12/2019 - 21:29

              @carbunkle: I'm not overly fussed. Not planning to buy anymore property any time soon and we always pay our debts before the interest period.

              I'll just be a bit shitty given that they have a very basic outline of who qualifies to apply. It should be more strict from the get go if they're just going to blanket reject a tonne of people.

              Other than a couple of mortgages. We only have 1 CC that's been attached to my account since I qualified and the 2nd is attached to our home loan accounts.

              I daresay any rejections these days would have to be with banks tightening up on their lending.

    I had received:

    Important Information from Kogan Money Credit Cards: Reminder that we need more information

    So I did nothing and then later on got:

    Important Information from Kogan Money Credit Cards: Your Kogan Money Black Card application is approved!

    Happy days. Touch wood.

    • jundullah on 05/12/2019 - 11:16

      Same here.
      Kept getting reminded for 4 days to give information but I never got round to it. Now I'm approved :)

    • DerpFactory on 07/12/2019 - 18:59

      Same, got approved without providing the required info.
      I asked on chat and they said I need to provide it.
      Not sure if you really do.

    • TTROCKNROLL on 12/12/2019 - 23:36

    Finally approved 2nd Dec, after initial application on Friday 29/11
    Had multiple emails requesting same info documents again and again, linking to the card application for employment proof etc
    Called Kogan yesterday and they said sorry, the system may automatically send our new requests, but they checked and they had it all and this facilitated the approval of documents and finally approval

    Edit -I have had a citi signature around August, now cancelled.
    3 credit cards currently, with Kogan the next addition

    • hotdish on 04/12/2019 - 11:14

        Try 1300 415 445.
        That number is listed for "Complaints" according to their website.

        However, when you call that number, there's actually an option for tracking current application.

      • Yamun121 on 04/12/2019 - 20:01

    Got approved yesterday.

    Oddly they first contacted me to say I needed to provide employment info (despite providing latest payslip), when I logged into the link they email you (sms-code protected) there was no where to upload the docs. I contacted them via their webform and the next day my application was approved.

    Edit: that is, after contacting them via the webform, I heard nothing back and then magically I got the application approved messages.

  • Danstar on 04/12/2019 - 16:42

    Got my card today. Tried to use payWave and it didn’t work. Tried at 3 places….

    • Make it so on 04/12/2019 - 17:22

      Dumb question - did you activate the card?

      • Danstar on 04/12/2019 - 17:49

        Yes. It worked by inserting it. Spoke to love chat, said it might be faulty magnetic strip. Sending me a new card (same numbers so don’t need to wait, although few minutes after chat got sms saying card been deactivated) lol

        Must be a automatic thing as a result of a new card being sent. Will talk to chat tomorrow to confirm it was done automatically

        • Make it so on 04/12/2019 - 17:52

          A faulty magnetic strip that prevents payWave from working? I seriously doubt Paywave uses the magnetic strip.

          • Danstar on 04/12/2019 - 17:55

            @Make it so: I dunno. Something is making it not work. Hopefully new card does

            Maybe she meant NFC chip or what ever tech pYwave uses

  • Make it so on 04/12/2019 - 17:54

  • db87 on 04/12/2019 - 18:26

    Personal question but I wonder what peoples liabilities are. We have a bit but service our loans very easily and credit cards are always zeroed well in advance. I got a phone call today to confirm a couple of random details and about 30 minutes later, a rejection email. :s

  • Geese on 05/12/2019 - 11:40

    How long does approval usually take?

  • HighAndDry on 05/12/2019 - 13:20

    Just some feedback, application process was painless. Online + one 5min phone call. Approved in 3 days start to finish.

    • Bargain Fighter on 05/12/2019 - 13:23

      Was the 5min phone call that they called you?

      Applied on 29/11. Haven't heard anything from them yet.

      Online chat 2 times, kept saying it will take 7-10 business days.

      • HighAndDry on 05/12/2019 - 13:46

        Yeah, just confirmed basics like previous address, other liabilities, property status.

        I think my answers matched that their checks had already told them because they didn't ask any details and though they said something like 3-5 business days, approval was basically immediate.

  • virhlpool on 05/12/2019 - 13:54

            Sure, I'll reply. It probably wasn't the same page you were seeing. Perhaps your application was in a different status. The page we were on did not allow any progression.

            Just trying to stir up. Maybe Try harder next time

            I'll try again. You claimed that applying for credit does not hurt your credit score if you are successful. Please provide documentation supporting this claim.

                Awesome. You must work there as a programmer.

                "Does applying for a credit card hurt my credit score?
                One application for a credit card is not likely to hurt your score, but making multiple applications in a short period of time could. That’s because numerous applications can be perceived as desperation for credit, or lenders could feel that you’re taking on too many accounts, potentially making it difficult for you to afford monthly payments.

                When you apply for a credit card or loan, an enquiry is recorded on your credit report. Your credit report shows a five-year enquiry history, which is factored into your credit score."

                • Danstar on 07/12/2019 - 01:32

                  @watwatwat: So applying and getting approved means your credit history is (most likely) ok. Applying and not getting approved would not reflect as ok and look bad on your credit score….. As i stated….
