    Went for this last time and the process is absolutely a waste of time, all the proof in the world and a 'computer says no' response.

    Never going to bother with ANZ again.

        Same again. Banked with them for 20 years and was so annoyed at the credit card process I moved all my funds to another bank. Ended up going with AmEx, took 5min for an application and 7 days to get the card, easiest process ever.

    Sounds like a lot of OzBargainers experience with applying for this card has been negative.

    Sounds like a potential waste of a credit check, and therefore a hit to the credit score, if it doesn’t go through.

    Anybody here that was successful have any experience exchanging for $800 worth of gift cards? Would go a long way to contributing to a new iPad Mini :)

    • fyeahm on 11/10/2021 - 02:27

      I applied for the ANZ Black FF card 2 months ago and my application was approved within a couple of hours (same day).

    • [Deactivated] on 11/10/2021 - 07:51

      Had the card 3 times, no issues, sure gotta send them some ID but card arrived within 2 weeks of applying, $2000 was spent day 1, was paid off day 2, points arrived on the day of my first statement. E giftcards were instant.

    • OzBaggins on 11/10/2021 - 12:11

      I signed up a few months ago. Process was easy as, received my points approximately 1 month after hitting the $2k spend. Hit the spend limit easily from car & motorcycle rego, insurance etc etc.

      Redeemed a bunch of BBQs galore gift vouchers and put that towards a new BBQ. Worked out great.

          And that's honestly all there was to it. Paid the balances plus extra before time too (for which they sent me a refund cheque). Maybe that was the issue? Have an excellent credit rating, no loans, no liabilities, six digit salary and healthy savings.

    ANZ's application team out of India is terrible in doing a good job, they have no idea what they need or want. Also random people process the application which means repeatedly asking for the same supplied info and asking for your life history, and calling them a million times to get an answer. But despite all that I got the points waiting in my account to be transferred across.

    Seems like my experience with my application process is very different from other ozbargainers. Applied on August morning this year for the Frequent Flier Black version filling in the online form. Received an email to send my paycheck in the afternoon. After I sent that in I got a text message the same evening saying my application was approved. Didn't need to speak to anyone on the phone.

    • jm7 on 11/10/2021 - 06:15

      I had a similar experience. Received approval in less than 3 hours in August this year.

    • Lunarboogie on 11/10/2021 - 07:20

      Do you have a fairly straightforward portfolio? It seems if you have a mortgage, IP, shares or any other investment, it causes the system to double down on you. It’s still worth the effort (I’ve been churning ANZ cards for 8 years straight) but it’s getting a little tedious.

      • jm7 on 11/10/2021 - 11:24

        Yep very straightforward. PAYG (ft ongoing), a few small investments, no mortgage.

  • askvictor on 11/10/2021 - 07:19

    How do banks make money on this kind of card, given you can get rewards to more than cover the fees? Are there enough people earning big enough money to get such a card that don't pay the balance every month?

    • Lunarboogie on 11/10/2021 - 07:23
      +2

      Have you seen the profits that Australian banks make? Your concern for their liquidity should be the least of your worries. The real question is how to gouge them even more.

      • askvictor on 11/10/2021 - 07:41

        Not concern, just curiosity. I have no problem gouging.

        • Chchnu on 11/10/2021 - 23:00

          One 30yr old loan lets them earn over 300k in interest and fees. Throwing a few hundred at you to make a credit card is nothing to them.

    • 7hours 44min ago on 11/10/2021 - 07:29
      +3

      Yes. My first job was call centre for a credit card. You would be shocked how many people run their credit cards at max limit and pay off minimum each month.

    • carwashhair on 11/10/2021 - 09:14

      interchange fees and interest fees. They'll know their numbers on amounts of spend people will push thru the card and also on % of customers who'll keep a balance they can charge interest on. If those two figures were less than the rewards and sign-ons paid (not to mention the staff costs to process applications and maintain the cards), they wouldn't offer it.

    • Tony-Abbott on 11/10/2021 - 09:33

      Banks make money off each and every credit transaction. Visa gets their %, then the bank gets their % and then the merchant gets their % too.
      Just becuae someone isn't paying interest, doesn't mean the bank isn't making money off it.

    • serpserpserp on 11/10/2021 - 10:09

      They get your personal information that they can try and sell you other products on. If you like their credit card you might like something else they do. It is just a way to maybe get a new customer which could be lucrative.

    • MrThing on 11/10/2021 - 15:19

      Credit card "super users" are pretty rare

      super users being people who pay the entire statement value each month

      Then there's credit card "hackers" or churners as we call them who open, spend, pay off, close just to get the rewards. they are even rarer

    • fivespice on 11/10/2021 - 16:11

      I didn't get rejected but the application process was a huge mess for both me and my partner.

  • Pandaboss on 11/10/2021 - 07:52

    Just another comment on experience applying.

    My partner has applied for ANZ cards a few times and every single time its the same as before and stated by other OzB users.

    Slow, pointless emails and ridiculous request of information.

    She provided all docs, and proof to be hit with the same email asking for it again or to upload. She got sick of it and let the application lapsed, once she got through but sent her the wrong card, totally different system to what we applied for.

    BUT if you're lucky enough to get through the horrid application process and be able to deal with their CSR, then you will get a card quick.

    This time around she got approved in 1 week after submitting docs twice. Recieved card 4 days later and now on the way to earn that 180k RP.

    So good luck all

        No, you can also redeem for cash. I did, but it will only pay out to an ANZ bank account.

  • hotdish on 11/10/2021 - 09:05

    If you are a long term ANZ customer these cards are approved very quickly.

    A quick tip: shoot ANZ a message via internet banking after it is approved, to ensure you are eligible for the bonus points.

    I've had then tell me before I'm eligible, I go and meet the spend requirement, and they later refuse to pay out promotion points. They of course have to backtrack, when I have written proof from ANZ that I am eligible.

    Remember kids: just because you've approved for a card, doesn't mean you're eligible for bonus points!

    • kingbargain999 on 18/10/2021 - 23:23

      Is the bonus point once life time?
      I found this on their web pager.
      "This offer applies only once per eligible customer. "

      I had this card few years back, got the bonus points already.
      If I applied again, will I be eligible for bonus point?

      You can convert into gift card, cash, velocity or KF points.

  • nickyd84 on 11/10/2021 - 10:06

    Don't forget, there's possibly rewards points for referrals so if you and your partner are wanting the card, never do it at the same time.

    For example with Amex I've always got the card first, then referred the wife for extra points.

    (just got a westpac rewards, no referral there, pfft).

      I was planning on paying for restaurant and group dinners, but lockdown happened so that plan got scrapped. Bought furniture, lego, a roborock, prepaid 6 months ahead of home internet. Been paying my rent with Beem It via BPay, it's great. Also signed up to an amex recently and I had nothing left to spend on, so I bought more lego, more lego, random amazon stuff (barely got any gift cards though, since Suncorp doesn't take the card), and then I got desperate and overpaid my electricity bill by $600 and now there's all that credit sitting in there for next time. And then I got more lego, haha! But yes, usually amazon or supermarket gift cards would have been my go-to.

    • magster on 12/10/2021 - 02:59

    I actually went into the bank, and the bank manager scanned my payslips and they still claimed the quality wasn't good enough 😂😂😂

    Issue I have is, my payslips have my name on the outside and details are inside. They do this to protect your information, because you need to tear it open.

    It's a pain! But you do what you gotta do!

    Only option is ANZ, and Citibank Velocity.

    I've already completed my AMEX in 6 weeks, so now I have to decide weather to transfer pts to Krisflyer or GC.

    Take into account, even if you earn 100k. They look at your expenses!
    Do you have a home loan? Do you pay rent? Car loan?

    Someone earning 60k living at home is much better off than someone living on 100k with a home loan, car loan and/or children.
