Good deal, just about to close the FF Black.. now to wait another 12 months.
Wish I was able to get this one instead.

Closed my anz ff cc on 17th Oct last year, do I need to wait till the 18th this month or till Nov to pass the 12 mths wait period?
- bohn on 14/10/2021 - 16:17
  
  whenever you think it's12 months ..
  if you think 12 months is from Oct 2020 to Nov 2021, then that's when it is ;)

  I just applied for a card that I closed a year ago. I have the account closed confirmation email that was exactly the same day last year. I waited to the next day to be sure so a full 12 months. It was opened without problem and got the bonus again.

There is no Cool down for QFF points for deals from different companies right?
Amex card for 100k QFF and this card a month later, I’m still eligible to receive these QFF points right?

Perfect timing! Cancelling the current card and need a new one for the travel insurance (and QFF points!).

Anyone who has a ANZ mortgage with the breakfree package $395, free annual fee waved on one CC. So you could sign up for the ANZ frequent flyer rewards black card gives 100k points Qantas points, 33k points extra if need it after a year.
- charliechao on 14/10/2021 - 17:47
  
  so we just call the customer service to apply? or we apply online and get that $395 waived afterward?
  
  sign up the rewards black is better than this frequent flyer black?

    Yeah best to call up customer service and sign up on the call for the credit card as they need to link it to your break free package.
    
    They will state the Annual fee of CC will be waived which was $425 for the black card.

Be warned, their support and service is pretty bad. I applied for this recently but got stuffed around with their offshore service team for so many weeks (5 different evenings, calling past 7pm, barely an intro and asking for personal info that I've already provided in the application) that I withdrew the whole thing.
- txb on 14/10/2021 - 21:43
  
  then that is a credit inquiry on your file gone to waste.

    Would not worry too much about the inquiry unless you were just about to get a large mortgage. Been cycling credit cards for years, at least 6 a year. Worse hit to your credit score is forgetting to make a payment.

  Last time i applied, i had them call me to enquire what PAYG meant on my payslip. I had to explain that this is how tax is shown on my payslip and went on to explain how tax was calculated in Australia… This was a weird conversation explaining to an Australian bank how tax works.
  - Nirmitha on 17/10/2021 - 13:22

  This.
  
  Applied for and took them three to four weeks before they finally approved mine. Called them up three times got three callbacks (two of which I missed).
  
  Eventually I got fed up and started messaging them on Messenger, then leaving public reviews on their Facebook page on a Saturday.
  
  They mustn't have liked the Facebook review, because on Monday morning at 7am I get SMS saying I'm approved.
  
  Persistence pays off.

  I had to go into a branch and show my identification documents just to get the card activated. Felt a bit off since I haven't had to do so for any other card I've applied for. Turns out someone on their end manually keyed in the wrong details in 2 (not only 1, but 2) fields! Very sloppy.
mameimo on 14/10/2021 - 18:47

I applied for the ANZ Rewards Platinum credit card last month and it had to get escalated to the credit coach before finally getting approved. Should I risk applying for this one as well? Thanks

peso255 on 14/10/2021 - 23:46

Wasn't it 75k before?
Though as an aside, I applied for this card over 2 months ago and only just approved today.
- WhatsTheBigDeal on 19/10/2021 - 07:53
  
  75k with only $150 of $295 annual fee waived off. This seems better ($145 more for 5k less)

    Ah. Called them today and it looks like they applied the offer from when I applied (75k pts + $150 stmt credit). Good enough since my redemptions generally give a higher point value anyway.

would this be a good first credit card to apply for? just worried might get rejected, is there a min income required?
- yaziyo on 15/10/2021 - 13:39
  
  +1
  
  Platinum cards are usually a 35k minimum income (and have a $6k minimum credit limit, I always just apply for the minimum limit only).
  
  Most people open these cards, do the minimum spend, collect the points and then close the account. If you get rejected, nothing really happens, just don't apply for more cards within the next few months.
  - salami on 15/10/2021 - 13:43

WhatsTheBigDeal on 15/10/2021 - 20:05

I currently have rewards black (not FF black), and the free first year is coming to an end so planning to close it now. If i close it and apply for this, what are the chances of getting it approved? it doesn't say having a rewards black in the last 12 months is a point for ineligibility, rather only talks about FF cards.
- WhatsTheBigDeal on 15/10/2021 - 23:17
  
  Nvm found the answer reading through the comments! Guess they are treated as different products and can co-exist or cool down periods are not applicable to each other
PcisT on 15/10/2021 - 23:21

I doubt paying ATO would contribute to the spend, but does anyone know?
- mc85 on 16/10/2021 - 00:06
  
  Use Sniip.
  
  There's a 1.5% fee. But unless your ATO bill is massive, it can be worth it.

  I managed to pay ATO via the BPAY function in BeemIt for NAB and it counted towards minimum spend. It showed up on the statement as a payment to BeemIt (not ATO) so that might work for ANZ as well.

Applied for this on Tuesday and got a call on Wednesday afternoon to confirm details and was approved on the call.

- Seven8Nine on 23/10/2021 - 10:47
  
  I assume you do not hold any existing account with anz, may be that's why.
  
  Or due to slow Australia Post, there is a new process where they send out bulk cards to the nearby branches via private means and get customer to collect it.
  
  In my case never had to

  I had to do ID check in branch and had to make an appointment. Very annoying. But I'm all thinking about is 70K points. After that I will dump this so fast like a leaving from a one night stand. Back to CBA or Westpac Group. ANZ has no payment notifications feature from the APP either.

Despite having approved ANZ black card with $15K twice for the last 4 years, I got rejected for this mere $6k platinum card. Have perfect credit score and all absolutely no reason for me to get rejected - ANZ has really gone to shit.

Edit: playing back the conversation with 'overseas' credit assessor who really had no idea how things work here in Aus, i said yes when he asked whether I usually pay off the card balance each month - probably this is where I went wrong as it's no use for them if I keep paying off on time! LOL

They shouldn't be asking for more information proving my application- if their intention was to reject anyway when proof provided.
Melburnian on 26/10/2021 - 12:41

About to cancel my ANZ rewards black card for churning, and apply for this one.
Would it be better to apply first and then cancel, so that I'm an existing ANZ customer and don't have to go to a branch to prove my ID all over again, or to cancel first then apply, so that my credit limit/debt is lower?

  they don't normally show waiver of the fees in the offer letter. Best to ring and seek clarification when in doubt.

  Look on the Letter of Offer page (back of the third page), should say that the fee is not payable in the first year.

This was posted 2 years 6 months 28 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
