    Wait what…PayPal now has credit card?

      if its going by the principal of ozbargain, you will only be rewarded point for any real saving you make and if you manage to score price error then you will get bonus point.
      the best part is that the point is redeemable for negative vote

      Yes, if spent at one of the 750,000+ eligible PayPal businesses. Otherwise $175.

        Just pointing out the difference between just a few years ago to now.

        Some people has the signature citibank. Some got the HSBC platinum free for life. Now we have this.

        • RichardF89 on 02/07/2021 - 18:48

          how to get them free for life?

        • whyisave on 25/07/2021 - 08:54

          that Citibank Signature Visa card has changed now to Citi Premier Mastercard.
          Still without Annual Fee, but no longer Visa.

            @whyisave: Yes it is now.

            But I'm talking about the past deal. It is 300 per year now. There are no platinum/signature cards that is fee free for life.

            It also recently got some phone insurance aswell, which makes it even better (for a free card).

            • whyisave on 26/07/2021 - 04:14

              @mbck: I really liked the Citi Signature card,
              but now they have put me onto that Mastercard.
              ( and Citi also added phone insurance,
              which I also just got as part of the AMEX card offer, last week )

    • chrism238 on 02/07/2021 - 19:18

      Though, politely, an individual having even several bad experiences with a bank suggests, to me, possible problems with the individual, before the bank. Amazing how humans (don't) evaluate risk and balance anecdotes very well.

        Well, when you apply with another reputed bank just after rejection from citi, and they approve you even after citi’s rejection without any other financial changes on that individual, just points out it’s the bank’s problem isn’t it? Not once, but twice over the last few years; speaking from experience.

          (let's not start an argument in the absence of facts) but different banks will have different, possibly not disclosed, thresholds for approval. We don't know.

          • WhatsTheBigDeal on 02/07/2021 - 19:45

            @chrism238: Yes agree, they probably have a higher stringent process and threshold for approval.

      Although I don't know how it would go if I applied for a Qantas Money card a 2nd time after cancelling the first. Maybe thats when the issues arise.

      Then someone contacted me and told me they are happy to re-assess it again.
      Then after a few days later, I was approved…
      They were seriously bullshit….

    0.5% 'cash'back as other credit cards.

    Nothing special?

    • WhatsTheBigDeal on 02/07/2021 - 18:51

      Apparently no. My ANZ black card gives me 0.85%.
      Saw recently they have 180k points promotion with zero annual fee. That’s about $800k cash back if you get approved and meet the minimum spend criteria.

        "$800k cash back" - that's a lot of cashback - enough to make a big dent on a home loan…

            @WhatsTheBigDeal: Is this the card you are referring to? When I saw cashback i started googling but can't see it as a feature of this card

            https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/rewards/black/

            Edit - I see your point, you are referring to the 180k bonus points and converting it to a 'cashback' version of 0.85%.. cashback isn't a feature in general of the card.

            • WhatsTheBigDeal on 02/07/2021 - 19:34
              +2

              @ezza: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/614545

              Already posted as a long running deal, but sadly as the OP there, I was already on a different (less valued) promotion with ANZ black.

              Yes and that too only when you convert your points to general gift cards like coles, woolies. Otherwise the rate is a bit less than 0.89% (edit)

              PS: ANZ also has a wide variety of vendors with bonus points; sometime up to 10 bonus points per $. Which means for some retailers, going with their rewards scheme is better value than CR or SB.

      • sub102 on 02/07/2021 - 19:45

    Seems you can earn points on anything e.g. does not exclude ATO and Gov departments.

    • Wombatstew on 02/07/2021 - 18:55

      If it works that is not a bad option. I've had client pay huge quarterly PAYG instalments via their CCs (before they shut down ATO / gov eligibility) as the reward points were worth more than the CC fee.

    • squidz on 02/07/2021 - 19:14

      how about bill payment?
      wonder if Gov department excludes rego D:

    • T-man on 02/07/2021 - 22:36

      Citi will always exclude ATO

    • highwind on 03/07/2021 - 00:12
      +3

      Unfortunately, point 2 in the T&C's excludes government transactions:

      2 You can earn 1 Rewards Point per whole Australian dollar of eligible spend. Eligible spend comprises Eligible Transactions, which means any purchase excluding (but not limited to) Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions and BPAY payments. Please note that the government related transactions are also not eligible to earn Rewards Points.

      • odysseus on 03/07/2021 - 02:01
        +3

        And note that Citi have a super broad definition of government transactions, i.e. it includes non-government transactions as well, such as purchases at Australia Post and payment of utilities.

      • highwind on 03/07/2021 - 16:17

        Based on 2 separate chats with PayPal, purchases with Zip Pay counts as "eligible purchases" (probably Afterpay as well). When paying off your Zip Pay account, what the original purchase was doesn't get passed onto the credit card. So that may be a work-around for these payments (pay bills first with BNPL, then pass that purchase onto the CC)

  • toobzy on 02/07/2021 - 18:47

    Is it backed by a bank?

      It is a credit card from Citibank. Just like Coles or Kogan credit card.
