$511 of profit after meeting spend requirements

The details:
130,000 points
$129 p.a. annual fee
$6,000 min limit
1.25 points per dollar
Spend $3,000 in 90 days
New customers (no Suncorp credit card in the past 12 months)
Offer Expires 31/08/22

Suncorp has increased the bonus from 100k to 130k but has removed the half price first year annual fee. However, you actually end up with a bigger profit (from $426 to $511) because it's easier to cash out your points fully for woolies gift cards.

If redeeming for gift cards:
$500 x 1, $100 x 1, $20 x 2 in Woolworths gift cards, $640 total, with 250 points remaining.
$500 x 1, $100 x 1 in Coles gift cards, $600 total, with 8,650 points remaining.

Will be slightly less profit if you redeem for transaction credit.

              @Kramo: Thanks all.
              My card got approved 20th Jan, I hit the spend on the 4th (all transactions cleared). No bonus points yet (just the normal points).
              I'll update my post when my points come in.

  • nightelves on 30/01/2022 - 10:33

    Does anyone have Suncorp's biller code for paying credit card?

    • timhn on 30/01/2022 - 14:54

      Does it in the statement?

    • scixxor on 09/02/2022 - 22:41

  • FeZZa21 on 01/02/2022 - 12:59

    finally got my card after 1.5 months of being approved

    • timhn on 01/02/2022 - 15:35

      Wow!! What has happened? Something wemt missing at Suncorp?

  • ridgeroad on 06/02/2022 - 22:04

    My apartment complex lets me book a cinema for a $100 bond. I assume this wouldn't count as spending as it gets refunded to the card eventually…?

    • JIMB0 on 07/02/2022 - 07:01

      Does the transaction post on the statement or is it forever pending?

    • eastmeetswests on 08/02/2022 - 16:45

      I doubt it would count as it will be refunded

    Called them today…. generic statement or not but the guy said they will be looked at after 3 months then it will take up to 60 days to get the points….. way to make me never to use Suncorp CC again.

    • Chickenleg on 11/02/2022 - 13:24

      So after the 90 days and not once you meet the min spend, and then possibly another 2 months? Far out that's quite annoying, was hoping to get the points and then cancel so I have less accounts open when I apply for the NAB card but I guess that ain’t happening.

      • timhn on 11/02/2022 - 15:22
        +3

        I got my points immediately after 1st statement.

        Redeemed WoW giftcards and have sent request for account close today.

        • Chickenleg on 11/02/2022 - 16:15

          Cheers, looks like my next statement period literally finishes today so hopefully i'll get them next week.

        • eastmeetswests on 11/02/2022 - 18:00

          Are the gift cards physical cards or egift cards? How long did it take for you to receive them?

  • basketcase86 on 11/02/2022 - 13:38

    Yup… just got my CBA Cashback…. 8 days in total…. Even before statement is paid. Goes to show why these two banks are in different leagues.

    Got my 2nd statement this morning, no bonus points yet. There goes my Kris Gold…

    • eastmeetswests on 12/02/2022 - 22:53

      :(. Have you tried calling Suncorp/Citi? Maybe check every couple of days to see if it hits your account

      • maverick1 on 12/02/2022 - 22:56

        Yeah, I do keep checking my account every now & then, but have given up on calling as you always get the same scripted response.
        Hope this offer gets extended by a month or so.

        • Chickenleg on 16/02/2022 - 11:09

          Any luck yet? My second statement was also on the 12th but nothing for me

            +1

            @Chickenleg: Naah. It seems to be pretty random.
            I gave them a call and as expected got the scripted response to wait for 90 days.
            Confirmed that I met the min spend back in Dec, but have to wait.

            • j4ck on 17/02/2022 - 10:03

              @maverick1: I'm in the same boat. Two statements in, spending threshold met… no bonus points.

    • AhOysta on 19/02/2022 - 08:32

      Same here, just received 2nd statement this morning, still no bonus points yet.

      • eastmeetswests on 19/02/2022 - 09:28

        I received my first statement today, no mention of bonus points on statement.

          Update: I just checked again, and all my bonus points have arrived.

          Similar experience to j4ck where I got statement in the morning (my 1st one) and points arrived in the afternoon.

          • axus350 on 19/02/2022 - 16:16

            @eastmeetswests: I just received my first statement and met the spend criteria. No bonus points on the statements or when I login and check the rewards portal. Hopefully it comes in a few days, or next statement.

            • AhOysta on 22/02/2022 - 16:02

              @axus350: I messaged Suncorp and their response was:
              The bonus points will be applied within 6-8 weeks from meeting the spend hurdle when you spend $3000 or more on eligible transactions within 90 days from approval.

              • Chickenleg on 22/02/2022 - 17:57

                @AhOysta: Wonder how so many people are getting their bonuses so quick. It's like they're just allocating them to random accounts.

                • eastmeetswests on 22/02/2022 - 17:59

                  @Chickenleg: Have you checked all your spend is elligible?

                  Have you checked that for every dollar that you spent, there is 1.25 points worth? If it's 3k elligible spend, there should be minimum 3750 in your account.

                  • Chickenleg on 22/02/2022 - 18:37

                    @eastmeetswests: I'm on my second statement and currently have 10466 points. My first statement back in January i earned 3877 points.

                    Every dollar spent on eligible transactions.

                  • AhOysta on 22/02/2022 - 20:15

                    @eastmeetswests: Likewise, I currently have Reward Points Balance: 4,665 which was met in early January.
                    No choice but to wait.

          • bidam1 on 28/03/2022 - 16:08

    Got the bonus points on the same day my first statement was issued.

    • Fusakin on 20/02/2022 - 14:23

      My statement didn't have the bonus points listed on it but a few days later the bonus points shown up on the rewards page though the processed date was the same date my first statement was issued. Can confirm that Beem It and Afterpay transactions were eligible transactions.

  • BlackIron2 on 16/02/2022 - 16:04

    New customers (no Suncorp credit card in the past 12 months)

    I don't see this clause in the T&Cs, am I missing something?

    Only found this: "Terms and conditions, fees and charges apply and are available on request. Existing Suncorp Bank Credit Cardholders are not eligible to apply for introductory offers. Introductory credit card offers are not available in conjunction with a Home Package Plus package. Should you choose to take up an introductory offer an Annual Card fee will apply.

  • Riverking on 16/02/2022 - 19:59

    • timhn on 16/02/2022 - 20:06

      Nope. Already asked them after i closed the CC and they said no.

  • Chickenleg on 20/02/2022 - 08:29

    Two statements in, still nothing, and I just realised i met my minimum spend in the first statement. Cmoooon Suncorp.

  • financialminimalism on 20/02/2022 - 10:27

    Can't work out the OP's math.
    1x $500 Woolies card = 104,200 points
    1x $100 Woolies card = 20,900 points
    1x $20 Woolies card = 4,200 points
    = $620 Woolies cards for 129,300 points (700 left over).
    Is my maths bad? How does OP get $640 and 250 points left over?

    Edit: Catalogue link for reference: https://rewards.suncorpbankrewards.com.au/ui/Search.html?key…

    • shppngtrlly com au on 20/02/2022 - 10:33
      +1

      I factored in that you have to spend $3000 to get the bonus. 3000 * 1.25 = 3,750 points. 3,750 + your 700 left over, gives you enough for another $20 gift card, with 250 points left.

      • financialminimalism on 20/02/2022 - 10:42

        Got it! Thanks, makes sense.
        … Now the waiting game begins to get the points. Suncorp said the promotion period has to close (end of March) and then they look at who's qualified for bonus points.

  • mathematicalcoffee on 21/02/2022 - 10:56

    Applied one week ago, uploaded docs straight away, still not sure if I am approved (if I check my application status it says "lblApplicationStatusCode_165", oops some programmer :P). Time to call?

    • mathematicalcoffee on 01/03/2022 - 09:09

      Applied 15 Feb, approved 22 Feb (after a call to hurry them up), still waiting for the card to arrive…long turnaround.

    • xwu on 17/06/2022 - 10:10

    Met the spend on the 2nd statement but statement didn't show any bonus points earned.

    However, I logged into the Rewards page online a few days after receiving 2nd statement and 130k bonus points were there!

  • domingochavez on 28/02/2022 - 23:01

    Applied 20 December 2021, still waiting for points so they definitely make you hold out the 90 days.

    On that note I just called late at night and had a lovely Australian lady answer so their customer service is great.

  • me1stt on 09/03/2022 - 12:56

    Suncorp’s banking system is really weird and backward.

    Pending transaction’s detail would disappear after one day. Additional card’s transaction won’t show up until it’s processed.

    • bozbargain on 16/03/2022 - 13:56

      It is. So hard to find your points balance as well, which is managed via a seperate site. Looks like a website from the 90s.

    • gentlecrack on 13/06/2022 - 07:29

      Credit card platform is provided by Citi.

  • droodle on 09/03/2022 - 17:53

    Guess i got lucky .. my points appeared after 1st statement

  • maverick1 on 13/03/2022 - 22:15

    3rd Statement issued and no bonus points yet on the statement. Checked my rewards account just incase nothing there either.
    Met min spend in the 1st month, back in Dec 2021.

    • Chickenleg on 13/03/2022 - 22:47

      Yep, same for me. Pretty damn annoying. Get the feeling I’m going to have to chase them up when the 90 days hit.

      • bozbargain on 16/03/2022 - 13:57
        +1

        Same. Worst card so far.

    • MsC1 on 18/03/2022 - 13:36

      Agree. The website clearly says the points will be credited within 6-8 weeks of the spend requirement being reached. 8 weeks has now passed and I called to chase up. The guy said it will come through in the next statement period, which is another 4 weeks away. I asked for this to be escalated and he said the escalations team is currently out at lunch and return calls within 4 business days. Hopeless.

      • Chickenleg on 18/03/2022 - 14:31

        FFS, so i'm probably going to have to wait until my 4th statement in mid April. Really frustrating seeing as they've clearly been crediting other people that have met the min spend after their 1st statement!

        • axus350 on 19/03/2022 - 23:24

          Have you checked the internet banking rewards portal to see your points status? As someone has mentioned before, you should have at least 3,750 points to hit the min spend of $3k.You might be surprised with the bonus points.

          Some people have reported that while the bonus didn't show up on their latest statement, when the checked the online portal - it was credited. I can confirm this was also the case with me. My statement came today (even though it technically ends on the 20th) and I hit the min spend; no points on statement but credited in the portal.

        • freestyle18 on 23/03/2022 - 14:48

  • tulip99 on 23/03/2022 - 10:01

    If I get approved for this card, can I buy gift cards from the supermarket or from Suncorp and they count as an eligible transaction to meet the $3k spending requirements?

  • bidam1 on 28/03/2022 - 16:10

    Not gonna lie, never ever getting a Suncorp card again. This has been the worst experience lol

  • jmel on 28/03/2022 - 18:45

    worst experience applying for this card. some offshore person called me, and asked for my details without providing ways for me to verify she is from suncorp. Then called my office trying to verify employment, obviously not knowing the privacy law here. Terrible scammer like operation

    Card was approved, but left a bad taste. Will cancel shortly after receiving my points

    • basketcase86 on 30/03/2022 - 13:43

    • eastmeetswests on 02/04/2022 - 16:33

      Same, I'm not sure why people would have had such a varying experience. I was a suncorp customer and already had an account prior to applying for this credit card.

      Not sure if that means that the points were received sooner. Waiting the full 3 months for bonus points would defintely have made me less likely to apply for this card.

    Hi Nobby,
    Suncorp Benefits is being replaced with a new rewards program. You can continue to use Suncorp Benefits to purchase eGift cards and use eWallet funds until 18 May 2022*. After this date, you will not be able to purchase eGift cards and previously purchased gift cards will have a ‘view only’ access until the new program starts. Any funds remaining on eGift cards or existing funds in your eWallet will not rollover to the new rewards program.

  • firestint on 18/04/2022 - 18:42

    The sign up process is so bad, almost as bad as HSBC one. Lots of bugs and errors not fixed by the programmers, bad design in the first place. Who now still allows only yearly and monthly but not fortnightly pay amount, and when the only options to provide company contact number is state code like 02, 03 etc.. What if your company has 1300 or 1800 HR number? And why limit document upload at only 3 documents per time? and Now the upload document page is not even working. What a failure.

  • n0mad on 22/04/2022 - 15:32

    was offered 5000 bonus points on top of sign up bonus if uploading my docs with 24 hrs. They didn't receive the first lot i uploaded for whatever reason so was happy with the extra comp.
    now to see if they pay it.

My intro letter, app, and internet banking all shows Platinum credit card, but the physical card i received is not the BLACK clear options PLATINUM credit card but a GREEN/TUQOISE Clear Options STANDARD credit card.
