    Just activated the card. There is no mention of the $500 offer in the paperwork or anywhere I can find while logged into ANZ online banking, is this usual?

    • zubzero on 23/12/2020 - 17:20

      Same, no mention of $500. Only mentions the annual & rewards program fee is waived in the 1st year.
      I think it is normal.

  • F0rtitude on 23/12/2020 - 18:53

    Received it today but didn't mention the $500 gift card. Did anyone get confirmed by online chat or call?

  • plentifoo on 24/12/2020 - 18:48

    verified a few things and got my application approved over the phone today. Asked when i'll get the $500 giftcard but got told to speak to card solutions instead.
    my application was dated 3-4 days ago, so hoping i'm still eligible for the bonus giftcard.

    • macr0hard on 24/12/2020 - 20:37

          yep, I felt very stupid afterwards as well because I didn't click that link at first, thinking that wouldnt apply to me because I CAN supply the docs, especially at the bottom they say "we'll be in touch" so I was waiting for another email with the 'upload documents' button. Should've just clicked the stupid link and get it all sorted before the holidays, now have to wait till after the NY probably.

    Can I redeem a Westfield gift card? Is there a list of gift card reward options we can choose?

  • Xcwizit on 28/12/2020 - 22:53

    • samwww on 02/01/2021 - 16:21

      I am getting close to the spend requirement. I was on the phone to ANZ, they said the gift card will take 3 "statement cycles" after you complete the spend, so actually 3 months before you get the gift card.

    im sure there are a few ppl who registered for this card that have an item valued at more than $1.5k they wanted to get on it, like a TV or electrical appliance.
    please let us know if the $500 giftcard has came through.

  • treebytheriver on 30/12/2020 - 21:14

    Probably a dumb question:
    I can use this card for online shopping and it still count towards the $1500 spend right?
    Is BPay allowed too?

  • Buzzzz on 31/12/2020 - 22:30
    +3

    I received the card today and as per everyone there was nothing said about the promotion in the terms and conditions. So I rang up the cards team and they have confirmed that we will get a $500 gift for $1500 spend within the first 3 months and no annual fees in the first year of the card.

    • blehgg on 31/12/2020 - 22:37

      • Buzzzz on 31/12/2020 - 23:38

        No I did not do a balance transfer.

  • PerthectDeal on 01/01/2021 - 11:28

    Hi guys, my wife still hasnt got this card approved after applying weeks ago and sending required info. They have gone quite, going to call them when open again.
    Can you confirm if you have to apply by a certain date not be approved by a certain date to get the bonus gift card and zero annual fee?
    Thanks

    • Xcwizit on 02/01/2021 - 20:10

      Hey mate I applied quite early since this deal was posted on ozbargain. I got my approval after 5 days.
      I'd suspect ANZ cards is going through a large amount of credit card applications relating to this deal and they're backlog must be long. That's my only reasoning for your delay. Give them another week or so I'd say. If you still haven't heard anything give them a ring. Good luck.

    • samwww on 02/01/2021 - 22:58

      I'd call them. I actually replied to their emailed request for documents and nothing happened for days, when i called they told me that is the wrong way. they had to be uploaded through a web portal.

      but I reckon as long as you applied to the deal, you should be OK to get the benefit from it. that's just a guess though!

      edit: I actually called them today at about 4:30 and got through with only 20mins wait. so they are at least answering the phone.

  • johnmelb on 06/01/2021 - 00:16

    My card already got suspended twice by buying gift cards, even though ANZ still sends the SMS codes and I enter them correctly.
    First time it was blocked after $400 (2 transactions, 1 verification charge).
    Second time 5x $200 was the limit.
    It took 30 minutes on the phone to get though to the right department, being put on hold (and forgotten/ disconnected) ended up with somebody else who needed to verify me again and explain the issue again.
    Still need to call them a second time to unblock my card again.

    • lordra on 06/01/2021 - 10:27

      Gift cards are the standard method for scammers to make money, so they want to make sure that you aren't giving your money away due to a scam. The Indians are in full swing thanks to Covid19 - Jim Browning is testament to this. They things they say and do make me sick.

      • johnmelb on 06/01/2021 - 17:00

        But I was just trying to pay my tax debt …

        I do agree: these practices make me sick too.
        If they call me and when I have time and feel like it, I'll waste their time just for entertainment. (Give a fake name, and if they ask my name again give another name. When they get upset I try to explain the other was a given name etc.)
        I once even recorded the call, noted the phone number and reported to ATO but never got a response back. I think there's not much the ATO can do besides trying to inform the public.
        I never trust somebody that calls me on my phone (even if they claim to be from ANZ/ATO etc.). I had a few genuine calls from banks where they asked me to verify myself, but I didn't recognize the number at first so declined. Banks should not do this, because people will think it's a normal practice and give out information in bogus calls too. Best is to call back or provide a unique reference number they sent via banking app message.

        The text messages from ANZ can be clearer though. Like sending a text they blocked your card. Now I just got another verification code, but the transaction itself was declined in the backend.
        Afterwards I tried to pay with my card in store, but that was also declined. This was a bit embarrassing/annoying, having a card declined after the lady had to scan 10 gift cards and enter the pin for each.

        (In the end bought the other gift cards with my partner's account and credit card.)

        • lordra on 07/01/2021 - 23:46

          That is indeed an embarrassing situation. Glad you had other options available at that time mate.

    • thangcuoi on 06/01/2021 - 15:00

      The Falcon at work.

  • macr0hard on 06/01/2021 - 10:46

    Did anyone also receive an 'identification requirements' letter together with your letter of offer? If they couldn't identify me why would they approve my application and now asking me to go to a branch to identify myself??

    seriously how inefficient is ANZ - why couldnt they just include the card with the letter, now have to wait for that to arrive separately

  • thangcuoi on 06/01/2021 - 15:03

    Applied on 16th December. Approved 8 days later. Additional paperwork meant my card was not active until today. Much more running around than any other cards I have applied before.

  • ricerocket on 06/01/2021 - 15:32

    Applied 11th. They came back to me 4 times asking for more and more. Gave up an ignored the last request and was approved 2 days later. All 3 envelopes came in the mail today. No mention of $500 offer but should hopefully be okay.

    By far the most annoying application I've done.

  • Franconian on 11/01/2021 - 17:30

    Got approval and received card a few weeks ago. I opted for a $100 balance transfer as the requirements were a bit unclear, however no balance transfer was done. Also no confirmation anywhere about the $500 bonus offer. I had bad experience with ANZ in the past not honouring their bonus offer.

    • bogstation on 11/01/2021 - 19:15

      I received a phone call a good week or more after receiving the card to confirm I wanted to go ahead with the BT. The guy was surprised by the amount (same as yours). He said creates a lot of extra back end work. Explained service agents stated had to do to receive gift card, he stated this was never a requirement in the past even when the card offered a BT. Still went ahead.

    • mathematicalcoffee on 12/01/2021 - 09:49

      I also opted for $100 balance transfer, got the card 16th Dec last year, and the balance transfer has not been done.

      • samwww on 12/01/2021 - 14:28
        +1

        I also opted for $100 balance transfer. They called me once, but because I didn't have the BPay details for source card for transfer, they said i could do it later. However it turns out they actually cancelled the balance transfer.

        I then called them later on, and they confirmed that I didn't need to do the balance transfer to activate the $500 GC reward anyway. They said that the 0% balance transfer was a "feature" and that I did not have to take up that feature to activate the GC reward.

        I have just met the spend requirement on my last statement, and then today got the email with the details for $500 GC reward. So it worked out fine. I was expecting to have to wait months.

        • mathematicalcoffee on 12/01/2021 - 15:30

          thanks for this confirmation.

        • bogstation on 12/01/2021 - 18:01

          Does the gift card have an expiry?

          • johnmelb on 12/01/2021 - 19:51

            @bogstation: The Reward Code you get has a 3 month expiry.
            With that code you choose a specific GC.
            The Amazon GC I chose, said it had no expiration date.
            Other GCs might be different.

          • samwww on 12/01/2021 - 20:51

            @bogstation: I got the woolies one. I read in the T&C's that it doesn't expire.

      • johnmelb on 12/01/2021 - 15:27

        Just say you're not interested in the BT anymore if they would call you.
        It's not a requirement to get the $500 GC. (They save work, and you save another $1).

  • johnmelb on 11/01/2021 - 17:56

    Has anyone spent the required $1500 spend and received their $500 gift card (or confirmation)?
    I just met my spent, didn't see any confirmation of it yet.
    I did get an email to register for "ANZ Rewards" from [email protected].
    There I can see the accrued points (>2250), but I only see the "Base Reward Points" (nothing that indicates the $500 gift card yet).

    • lordra on 12/01/2021 - 08:21

            Also I didn't want to wait too long after accidentally posting my unique code on OB.

        • samwww on 12/01/2021 - 13:54

          I think what this means is that you have to buy 1x $500 gift card, but once you have that card, you can spend it in smaller than $500 lots.

          I think I will get 1x$500 woolies card, but assume I don't have to spend the entire amount in a single visit.

          I can't see anywhere in the T&C's that says you have use up GC in one transaction.

            +1

            @samwww: That's correct. The "in one go" was probably referring to 1 GC of 1 type (not the spend of that GC at the retailer).
            For example: From my $500 amazon GC, I applied 2x +- $2.5 on 2 different amazon orders. Remainder can be done on other orders.
            You just cant split $100 at JB HiFi, $100 on amazon etc.

        how long after you met the $1,500 spend did they get back to you?

          My pending transactions settled +- on the 8 January, and I got the email on the 12th.(Do check your spam inbox, and maybe add [email protected] to your contacts, so it doesn't go to spam.)
          But I read from other people (who met the required spend earlier) that they also got it on the 12th. So YMMV.

          See also this post.
          So maybe they only process it once or twice a month?

      I wanted to look what I can redeem with the regular points.
      Then wanted to apply for the FF card .. just not sure if I should cancel this one first, or apply first for the FF one.
      I see no reason why to keep this card (only want to get the max. out of the points).

    EDIT: customer support said the usual speal about waiting 3 months, credited annual fee etc, guess I just have to wait..

    Signed up on 3rd Dec, met the spend on 4th Jan. Got statement today, no bonus points or email as others mentioned. Also got charged $95 fee.. Should I just wait or call them up?

    • homelessguy on 19/01/2021 - 12:53

      customer service will just tell you to wait, no real point honestly, unless you're into holding 10 minutes because they're always so understaffed.. They also mentioned it's only a $50 refund.

      • whatif on 19/01/2021 - 15:07

        Thanks, will just wait and see..

    • lordra on 20/01/2021 - 00:17

      Shouldn't it be zero annual fee, irrespective of whether you made the spend or not?

      Or am I not reading it correctly?

      • whatif on 20/01/2021 - 10:29

        I thought it will be refunded when you met the spend.

      • johnmelb on 20/01/2021 - 13:01

        Correct, it should be $0 annual fee. I replied here too.
        Also see your offer letter under "annual account fee".
        It clearly states the fees are not payable in the first year (for me at least).

        • whatif on 20/01/2021 - 14:33

          Thank you!! That should help.

          • lordra on 21/01/2021 - 22:03

            @whatif: Let us know how you go with it. I just got my first statement and didn't have the fee on it. Still to meet the spend.

  • motion2082 on 20/01/2021 - 00:49

    Got approved and have my CC but cant remember how I applied. Clicked through this link. Was it linked to Finder? Prob got sucked in to a $99 fee with no GC

  • aksetkk on 20/01/2021 - 16:42

    I met spending $1500 on Jan 04 and still haven't got GC.

    • johnmelb on 20/01/2021 - 20:23

      That's strange. I met my spend later, and already got the email with GC.
      Did you check your spam email too? look for [email protected] (add it to your contacts), see also here.

  • activ8newbs on 22/01/2021 - 20:40

    Just received my GC $500

    Will be using the Woolworths gift card. Now to close the card

  • Booster on 23/01/2021 - 08:02

    Still haven't received my GC get (checked spam) and met the spend limit on the 30/12 and paid off the CC on the 7/1. When I rang up I got the usual spiel about waiting upto 3 months for it to process. Anyone have an idea regarding how their system processes these? Others in the same boat?

    • johnmelb on 23/01/2021 - 22:02
      +1

      Yes, I know aksetkk is in a similar situation

  • jelicano on 25/01/2021 - 13:04

    yup same, my wife got her GC today. She didn't do a balance tansfer on her account so it's confirmation that it isn't required.. I did a BT on my application but I'm still about $50 away from completing my first $1500 purchase.

  • Bargains4All on 25/01/2021 - 14:25

    Received my $500 GC today (went into junk mail). I didn’t do BT. Completed my $1,500 spend on 17th January.

  • macr0hard on 25/01/2021 - 20:13

    Can you get any rewards with the points? I accidentally spent a few hundred bucks more than the required 1500, which could’ve gone to my other Citibank for better points 😭

    • johnmelb on 25/01/2021 - 22:04

      Not sure it makes sense to spend more on this card, just to be able to redeem rewards.
      I did a quick calculation : cheapest GC is 4445 points for $20, with 1.5 points/$: that's 0.675% "reward" (required spend ~$2965).
      GC is usually not the best redemption, but I have my HSBC debit for tap/pay under $100 (gives me 2% back immediately).

      I'm not sure I'll spend another $1500 on this card to get $20 GC. Probably better to save that spend for a new card ..

      Happy to hear if there are any better rewards, or easier way to get more points.

      • lordra on 26/01/2021 - 01:19

        How do you get the HSBC 2%?
        Is that still available?
