Nice little churner for those between Qantas cards.

Note that the ANZ Qantas Frequent Flyer cards are on a different reward system and therefore it doesn't matter if you have held one of those cards in the last 12 months. Just have to make sure that you haven't held an ANZ Rewards card in the last 12 months. It used to be the case that the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card was treated separately as well, but I note that this is now specifically included in the 12 months exclusion clause as well.

$50 back makes the annual fee of $95 effectively only $45 in the first year.

Spend requirement is only $1,500 in first 3 months, which is lower than it usually is for this card.

100k ANZ Reward points can be converted to 50k velocity points or 33.3k Krisflyer points.

22.2k ANZ Reward points can also be converted to $100 Coles or WISH eGift Cards, which makes this bonus worth around $450 total. You can also use the 100k ANZ Rewards points for straight cashback of $400.

    Thanks Op! That's an attractive deal. Though I'm contemplating if i should.

    I'll be more interested if anyone here has had any negative impact in their ability to get loan because of credit card churning?
    I already applied on the Citibank $500 voucher deal earlier on, and while this deal seems attractive. I feel it may impact the ability to get loans due to the credit card enquiries on your file and potentially seeing that as a risk, opening an account and the account being closed sooner. Keen to hear what others thing about this.

    • spiff on 03/12/2020 - 09:59

      You can see what others think in literally every decent card deal with a lot of comments as it's asked all the time.

    • endolphin on 03/12/2020 - 10:01

      I've churned 34 cards in 3 years and my credit score has barely moved. Got my home loan prior to that but I did get preapproval for a second mortgage recently, no issue. They were more concerned that I didn't have too many cards still open (only had 2 open but they wanted to see the account closure letters of the recent closures).

      • nightelves on 03/12/2020 - 10:15

        Wow you must be on like 1 billion points now. I've started credit card churning but do not have as much as you. May I ask how you manage to average about 11 credit cart per year and are these a combination of high end and low end cc?

        What sort of shitty cards are you churning if you're going through more than 10 cards a year? There isn't even that many banks with decent cards. WTF is this

          Agree. Must be getting those amex cards with like 150k points and $1500 annual fee.

          Sorry it is 31 cards since October 2017. I had counted three others from the year prior (2016) in that last post.

          If you are curious (and I was myself), below is the breakdown. Note that net fees (net of cashback and selling lounge passes) across all 31 cards has been $828.

            @endolphin: You must earn quite high, everyone situation is different.

            My friends a bank manager and let me tell you, that many cards is a red flag for 99% of people.

            Let's take into account, with 30 cards and a min spend of $3,000 for most you've spent $90,000 to hit min spends in 3 years.(Some are lower, but many are $4,000 too)

            • nightelves on 03/12/2020 - 13:59

              @[Deactivated]: Yeah I’m thinking he’s high income earner to qualify for all those cc.

              @[Deactivated]: Total minimum spend has been $95k, so about $3k average per card. Some minimum spends are $5k, some $1.5k.

              I have spent more than half of that minimum spend on child support.

                Well I spose it makes it easier to flip that way

                My biggest issue is hitting those minimum spends, otherwise I'd possibly consider flipping more

          • spiff on 03/12/2020 - 14:18

            @endolphin: With that much experience can you advise whether you've ever been able to get pro rata annual fee refunds when you cancel the cards? And if so which banks?

              @spiff: I recently got a pro rata card fee refund through a NAB black card. I was very very surprised when they mentioned the refund as I was not expecting one at all.

              • spiff on 03/12/2020 - 16:36

                @Smol Cat: So you didn't ask for it? Did they just say they would refund it when you were closing it? I assume you called to close it?

                • Smol Cat on 03/12/2020 - 16:40

                  @spiff: I used their in app messaging/chat box for the closure. I didn't ask for a refund at all as I didn't think that was even an option and it's never happened before. Pleasant surprise.

              @spiff: Ha! That's actually one area where I have potentially missed a few opportunities. I've never even tried (silly me). Having said that most cards that I have held have not had big annual fees.

            +4

            @endolphin: I was calling bullshit at first but you've backed up your claims with a solid response so respect to that. I'm just sitting here amazed at how you were approved for so many cards in a such a short time line. Did your credit rating take a hit at all? Did you just cancel cards as soon as you got the points?

            So many questions. I'm churning cards as well but I only go through about 3 a year max. Seems like nothing compared to what you've managed now. Do the banks red flag you at all after all this?

            • endolphin on 03/12/2020 - 19:19

              @Smol Cat: As I mentioned, my credit rating has barely moved over the years. Always high 600s, low 700s. It hasn't moved AT ALL this calendar year, despite 8 new cards.

              Yes I close as soon as points land. Often the very same day.

              Probably get some initial red flags but basing everything on a credit report is stupid. It is a potential red flag because it could show that someone is struggling to get approved for credit.

              In my case it doesn't take much digging to see that I'm not doing it because I'm in dire straights, I always pay closing balances in full, and have never incurred interest.

              I'm actually more surprised that banks don't decline me when they realise from the above that I am worthless to them.

      • Marbel on 03/12/2020 - 13:16

        Right. which bank gave you the pre-approval recently? just curious.

        Wow that’s impressive. So correct me if I’m wrong, so while churning the 34 cards, you only had 2 cards open at any given time?

        How many business days did you wait between closing an existing card and opening a new credit card? 34 is an insane number but very impressive!

    • Garrettau on 03/12/2020 - 10:21

    If I have the ANZ Breakfree package does my $95 fee get waived?

    If so, do I get the following?
    A) 100,000 points
    B) $50 credit back

    Edit: Live chat says if I link it to Breakfree package I won’t get the points.

    So my next question:

    If I don’t link, I claim my bonus points and the $50 credit, can I later link it and ask the operator to waive the $95 fee? Has anyone does this?

      • Stickout on 03/12/2020 - 10:40

        Personally i doubt it. from THEIR view point, you either get a plain card with annual fee waived or you get your first yr benefit with annual fee imposed, you can't have it both ways.

        very happy to be proven wrong though.

    • Pufff on 03/12/2020 - 11:14

    • endolphin on 03/12/2020 - 11:45

      I find that weird. My home loan is with NAB and every year (4 years in a row now) I apply for the signature card, get the bonus and close within the month, then repeat after 12 months. No annual fee given that I am on the home load package.

      • Hunter14 on 03/12/2020 - 16:27

        Wow, nice to know. I'm also with NAB and currently looking to lock in 2 years on fixed rate and this could be a nice bonus.

        Do you deal with a mortgage manager or just cancel the card each year and re-apply?

        • endolphin on 03/12/2020 - 17:00

          Just cancel each year and re-apply. NAB is actually one of the fastest to pay bonuses so I usually only hold the card for 2 months max. Effectively means bonus points every 14 months.

          • Hunter14 on 03/12/2020 - 17:19

            @endolphin: Oh so you still have to wait the 12 months. I thought you could bypass that.

      I spoke to ANZ rep this morning as i have ANZ Qantas Black card that is linked to loan account and was told that i am eligible as long as i spend $3k within 3 months. I got charged the full annual fee in my first statement so i dont think they will not give my points even if its linked. Rule may apply if you link and ask for annual fee waive off before points gets credited.

      • activ8newbs on 03/12/2020 - 17:16

        I just called ANZ to try get the same offer as you. The rep on the phone was confused and has no idea what I was talking about

        I asked him if I could avail this offer (the deal that's been posted), but link it to my BreakFree, and I'd be happy with minimum spend of $3k. But didn't work.

        Any ideas?

        • desparito on 07/12/2020 - 14:25

          Spoke to rep again to reconfirm… Annual Fee will be waived off if you link card to your BreakFree account and you wont be able to get the points. Once you link your card to BreakFree, you wont be charged annual fee for the time you hold the card. So its either fee waive off or the points.
          What i noticed is dont speak to the person who takes your call first, ask them to transfer your call to the dept who manages the card… that way you have correct information

      • dinglejerry on 04/12/2020 - 20:35

        So I take it you didn't link it to the breakfree package then? Did you have to close the Qantas Black Card to get this card approved?

        • desparito on 07/12/2020 - 14:28

          i had activated the card through my loan account and i thot it might have got linked. But i was wrong and the rep informed that request has to be placed to link the card. I havent applied for Rewards Platinum card yet as i am waiting to meet spending criteria for Qantas Black Card.

          • dinglejerry on 10/12/2020 - 11:54

      I use Krisflyer, however I already got 350k points.

      Theres normally more flights available with Singapore. However, let's be honest in the near future everything could change and people with millions of points could find those points worth alot less.

    to your new ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card

      • spiff on 03/12/2020 - 11:38
        +1

        They did a better deal earlier this year with $275 back instead of $200, effectively reducing the annual fee to $150. I find more value in qff than vff/kf especially after covid. Will be banking them for a couple of years though to save them for international flights.

        • endolphin on 03/12/2020 - 11:43

          I'm sitting on over a million QFF. Not as many Velocity but not looking to build up a big balance there as who knows what will happen with those, so this sort of deal is attractive to me. Straight cashback value (or close to equivalent to cash given that we all need to go grocery shopping).

    • [Deactivated] on 03/12/2020 - 13:58

    It was set at 50k via a credit reporting website and my application got declined. As i already have 100k in credit card limits plus a >500k mortgage.
    It might be better if you decide the lowest limit first and then change it ,if you need the limit increased.

    3 months payslips
    RElatively painless

    Asked basic questions as expected about assets, adn employment duration and how long you've been in current house etc.

    Plan is to make the minimum spend ASAP. Sell the points once I receive the points and the cashback.
    As soon as I sell my points ill close my card.
    End to end, is probably a 6 month process :)

    For me, they want copies of 7 of my payslips and my full signed employment contract.

    Sounds legit. /s

    so if my monthly income is lower then 6k does that mean my application will get rejected anyway?

    • timhn on 07/12/2020 - 21:28

      Huh? Your annual income is higher than the minimum requirement (~$35K). You should be ok.

      • LegoLexus on 08/12/2020 - 13:08

        oh i thought that minimum credit (6k) was referring to need at least 6k income everything month… where did you see the annual income minimum of 35k? couldnt find it on the website

    Got rejected after quite a bit of back and forth. Have to give credit to the ANZ guy who rung me, he tried his best to push me through, but their requirements are unreasonable. They probably asked too many questions in the first place and then added the numbers in such a fashion that even someone safely employed on a decent salary, with demonstrable savings, no mortgage - a very safe bet all around - does not look safe enough.

    • Feeblely on 08/12/2020 - 13:59

      What was the reason for the rejection?

    • CrypticM on 08/12/2020 - 14:01

      When did you applied? Was credit check done before the rejection?

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 08/12/2020 - 16:56

      Income over 60k, very long term stable employment, no loans, have credit cards each over 10k (always have zero balance as paid as debt racked up), no mortgage.

      Asked for $6000.

      Denied lmfao

        Already holding $20k of credit and having only a moderate income was never going to work.

        I earn multiples of that and I keep my current credit limit total to under that (usually).

      • El-Rhi on 17/12/2020 - 07:41

        Holding $20k of existing credit cards and applying for another is a major red flag to a lender

  • kehuehue on 08/12/2020 - 18:14

    Rejected as well.

    retarded citibank still wont update my credit file and it shows 2 credit cards with 6k each

    they asked me for citibanks closure letter which i sent and still rejected idk why.

    my first ever credit card (coles free one) gave me a $27,000 limit. idk whats up now. credit score is good too.

    i hate using my latitude card as an everyday credit card because it locks payment for 5 days once you use it (ie cant pay the credit card anymore)

    • ruztynail on 10/12/2020 - 10:48

      to those that got rejected. did you have to call the bank? or did you receive an email?

      • kehuehue on 10/12/2020 - 10:55

        got email.
