    PSA: NAB do a pro-rata refund of the annual fee if you cancel the card (so effective cost of $16.25/$32.50 if it takes you 1 or 2 months to get the points awarded)

    • +2

      Even more tempting now…

    • Is this new? I don't remember receiving a refund last year.

      • I got one when I cancelled in November.

        • +1

          same

        • +2

          Ditto. Cancelled via chat on the app and the person asked for a bank account to put the refund into.

    • Can confirm this is true. The pro-rate refund was also done on a daily basis and either they gave me a few extra days or my calculation was off.

    • Wow, so you have to cancel via chat? What if you cancel via the app? You don't get the refund?

      Is this pro rata refund documented anywhere on their site Incase that stop allowing it?

      • I couldn't find where to cancel in the app… I cancelled over live chat.

    • +3

      Does that mean you don't need to keep the account for 12 months any longer?

      and keep your account open for 12 months.

      • +1

        You get the 100,000 points once you do the min spend ($3k/60 days).

        If you want the other 25,000 points, you need to keep your account open for 12 months, and pay the annual fee for the second year (so total cost $195 + $395).

        • Not if you close it after 12 months and 2 days (assuming the 25k points appear within a few days after doing 12 months). It'll be a pro-rated $395 for 2 days

          • @Mr Frodo: Yep you're right, my bad.

            But either way, I don't see the point keeping it for year 2 to get 25k when you could cancel after the first lot, and sign up again for 90k/100k/whatever the offer is at the time.

        • I have spent 3k as of yesterday, how quickly will the points take to come into my account?

          • @xtommyk: Mine was the next statement date after the $3k spend.

    • +1

      yep did this!!!

    • I can confirm that I got a pro-rata refund when I cancelled. Since I only had the card for probably 3 months, it was a good amount. Was going to apply again, but I think my 12 months hasn't passed.

    • How was this done?
      Say I meet the $3000 spend, receive the Qantas points and receive the Bpay invoice to pay the card off after a month. Do I tell them to cancel the card and amend the annual fee before paying it off?

      • You don't need to do anything to get the refund.
        You jump on the chat, say you want to cancel the card.
        They will tell you you'll be getting a pro rata refund.
        They refund the fee to your account.

      • Doesn't really matter. You can either pay it off, then they'll refund the AF to another account or you can let them refund the AF to the card before paying it off.

    • I'm a bit late to this party, but I'm just wondering where does NAB refund the pro-rata amount to? NAB saving account or back to the card?
      Thanks!

      • +1

        They will ask you to confirm or provide where to credit the refund to.

  • +1

    Temptingggggggggggggggg

    • +26

      Nah you seem pretty happy asleep… will leave you be

    • +5

      If you churn this is a good deal.

      negligible annual fee and 100k points. its a great deal

      anz is 120k points and 200 bux annual fee.

      both are great deals by different banks, perfect for churners. end of.

      • +4

        On a different note, churning might be good but beware everyone if you're planning on getting a mortgage or a personal loan; some financial institutions will not take too kindly to a multitude of applications in a short span of time (12-24 months) on your credit report irrespective of how great your credit rating/score is. Speaking from experience!

  • +3

    I had my last cc application knocked back, I'm guessing because I earn a lower income than my partner, but obviously need to report the (large) joint mortgage repayments, shared existing cc etc, so it may appear that my single income would struggle to meet all repayments. Does anyone, maybe in the industry, have any thoughts as to how I should complete the application to reflect this?

    • +2

      Doesn't that all depend on whether you place your share of the bills and mortgage payments at 50% each when completing the application….is that what you do?

      If it is then can't you work out the difference between your salary and your partners and then weight the repayments accordingly.

      i.e if he/she earns 30% more than you then those payments are 30% more than what you pay.

      If you do that already then ignore everything I just said. :)

    • -5

      I went to the extent of calling and talking through the situation with NAB. I work 20 hours a week and earn $50k (steady job since 2013), combined income is almost $200k, $700-800k equity on the house, but NAB won't increase our credit card limit above $12k because it's under my name. They're not too smart.

      • +6

        So get your partner to apply.

        • +1

          Oh we're in the process of sorting that out. All we wanted was to increase our current credit card limit though.

          • +3

            @King Steuart: Careful going down that route. A good few years back I used the ever increasing limit to spend less than sensibly. It took a few tough years to get it back to the stage where I could clear off the balance each month.

            • +1

              @banana365: So it's a long story but basically we reduced our credit card limits (across three cards) because a broker told us to do it to get a line of credit and then the broker said we couldn't get the line of credit but the damage was already done and now the bank won't let us increase the limit back to where it was. Sometimes we need a little more than $12k a month, but at the end of the day I've just been transferring it out of my savings into the credit card early. Gotta get those points!

  • We just got our signature rewards credit card… wondering if this applies to ours?

  • +3

    What’s the minimum salary eligibility for this card?

  • What’s the minimum credit limit?

    • +1

      15k

      • Damn!!

        • +5

          most banks have standard min limits

          top tier cards (black, signature, etc) 15k
          platinum 6k

          • +1

            @MrThing: I was hoping for 6k. 15k would probably be a stretch….

            • +1

              @TomGum: Could you explain why a higher credit limit would be considered bad? Is it because it has a greater negative effect on your credit score? Churning newbie here.

              • +3

                @hotsnakes: Your credit limit is considered debt; even if you haven't spent your limit.

                Ie. if you have $0 balance on the CC and you applied for a home loan; they'd still consider you having a 15k debt

              • +2

                @hotsnakes: A higher limit also means higher approval bar, which makes it harder when you already have other debts like a mortgage.

                • @ddhar: Got it, makes sense, thank you both. My next question would be: does a higher limit card permanently affect your credit score to a greater extent than a low limit card? (I.e. after closure, if churning). I guess that's getting into the depths of the credit agencies' scoring algorithms, which are kept secret…

                  • @hotsnakes: Ratio of monthly spending to credit card limit impacts your score.
                    Eg.
                    card limit - 10k
                    Monthly spend - 5k
                    Usage - 50% of your limit.
                    Result - High risk, low score.

                    Card limit - 20k
                    Monthly spend - 5k
                    Usage - 25%
                    Result - Better score

                    This is my understanding.

                    • +4

                      @karseeeejaaaa: Not sure about that. I have a credit card with a $6k limit. I have used full $6k on it and just repay 50% of it every month. My credit score is excellent. So not sure if this theory works.. but definitely interesting to look at it this way.

                    • @karseeeejaaaa: The credit reports doesn't keep a record of your spending amount, only your credit limits and if you have any overdue balances outstanding.

                      You can have a 20k limit and spend $0 monthly and the credit report will have it as that you have a 20k debt.

                      • @linkii: Correct, that is when calculating one's debt.

                        However, the ratio of total card limit and the spend is taken into account for credit score calculation, amongst other factors -
                        Repayment history
                        Credit Utilisation Ratio (CUR)
                        Number of credit accounts
                        Age/duration of credit lines
                        Number of credit inquiries made about you

                  • +3

                    @hotsnakes: To be honest, I haven't been dealt any grief from applying too many times. In fact, in 2020, I churned at least 2 times and refinanced 2 loans. The banks didn't make an issue from this but did make me close one of my credit cards to lower my debt (card limit counts as debt).

  • +1

    this or ANZ Frequent Flyer Black?

    • +11

      uh, both

    • +1

      both

    • +4

      Just keep churning mate, the more qantas points the better

    • +5

      Both, if you can meet the minimum spend AND if you can get approved for the cards (ANZ kept knocking me back on the FF Black card).

  • +1

    Nice another tax-free income.. thank you op..

  • +5

    I've had this card relatively recently. Am an existing NAB account holder so application was easy. Received card quickly and without any issues.

    I hit the 3k spend within a few weeks of activation, and got the bonus points with the first statement, so was very quick and efficient. Haven't yet cancelled the card but overall was about the fastest and easiest Qantas points I've had.

  • +11

    Note: NAB has recently had issues with Qantas FF Numbers being lost in the application and therefore not being credited on statement date.

    You will most likely have to call NAB on 13 22 65 to get the QFF number assigned to your CC account to be able to get paid the points. It's best to do this just in case, because if it's not yet saved it will take another month to get credited the points.

    Another note: The first statement is generated around approximately 14 days after approval date, so if you churn fast enough you can get the points after 14 days.

    • +2

      Second this. Happened to me on the previous reduced NAB AF $195. Got it sorted but it took them an extra statement period. Still got the pro-rata refund so cost wasn't too significant.

    • Was just about to post this too, due to my FF not being recorded I had to pay another month.
      Only got $178 back from my $195 fee ..

    • +2

      Yep, happened to me, too. Once I'd called them after a few months of not receiving the points, QFF points were credited within the week.

      In a side note, I had requested the minimum limit but somehow ended up with $40,000. I'm as stingy as an old Scottish shrew and don't like such an extravagant limit on principle.

    • When I signed up for the NAB card, that NAB branch manager told me that it is ok to put my QFF number later because I could not find it on the day. One year later I am still with the card and I keep calling that number 13 22 65 to update my QFF number but those people have no help. Now I think I have lost like 400k points without adding to my QFF balance. I just dont know why it is so hard for them to update my QFF number?

      • go to branch and get it done and dont leave until they do it

        • Once I went to the branch and one assistant told me to call that 13 22 65 number. But does not matter how many times I called that number it couldn't help.

    • Thank you! So lucky I saw this. Just called them and they didn’t have my FF number but will back credit me.

  • What's the minimum income requirement?

    • +5

      Pre 2018-ish (whenever banks stopped advertising minimum incomes because of some rule change - I cant remember the date or actual reason), black cards with $15,000 minimums were generally listed at $75,000p.a.

      • I had this exact card in 2018 with a sub 60k income

  • -5

    How much is 100k quantas pts worth in gift cards ?

    • -1

      You know you can Google exactly what you posted and you'll find your answer?

      • +2

        I'm use to it being near one of the first comments on these kind of deals. Makes it easy to see if its worth the effort.

    • I checked the Qantas site and it looks like about $500 of JB HiFi gift cards as an example…

      • +8

        aka poor value.

        100k qantas points is better spent on premium cabin classic rewards.

        for example sydney to europe is about 150k points in business class. the dollar cost of that flight is easily over $5000

        • +1

          Yep less than $300 if you spend on woolies group card after accounting for yearly fee. Still free money however nothing like we were seeing last year from ANZ and AMEX.

        • +2

          exactly. anything above economy is great value. couple of years ago the best value I got was first class return to the US, worked out 7.5 cents a point in value. Also only time I have ever gotten to fly first class sadly :(

          • +2

            @gromit: Did a similar thing a few months pre-Covid, one way Hong Kong direct to JFK (15.5hrs). Makes me want to cry now every time I fly economy. :D

            • +1

              @End3vour: yep, I try to avoid economy if at all possible, especially since covid as will pay the higher price or the points premium to have a little more separation. Plus I am over 6'4" with wide shoulders which makes economy agony for me. So I hoard and collect points anyway I can so I can avoid economy.

              Must admit the first class has even tainted business class a little for me. It was shocking how much space you get, even my wife was able to join me at my table/seat in first class for dinner. oh well, one day I hope that money is no issue or I get lucky with my seat bookings again. The key to getting them seems to be ensure you are gold status or above so the seats open sooner to you and if possible use the less busy routes (e.g. we went Syd-Fort Worth-New York rather than via LA or San fran).

        • Or 200k qff (50k qff more) for first class cabin. Dollar cost is easily more than $10k.

          They're quite rare to find though.

          • @ddhar: NAB Concierge Services anyone used this ?

  • I am just waiting to work out what we do for new house, don't want my finances made even more complicated for a few weeks, hopefully finalised soon so I can jump on this in time for my next churn.

    • Banks will ask you to cancel the credit card anyway so it won't affect your loan.

      • nah, I have plenty of room to move, bank has already pre approved and is in process of approving with current credit cards (I have Amex, Visa and mastercard with different banks). Just don't want to complicate it with a change mid process.

  • Probably a dumb question; but I get cash-out a fair bit from the supermarkets, would cash out go towards my 3k minimum purchase requirements?

    • +20

      No cash out won't work. Never withdraw cash from a credit card.

    • no

    • +5

      no, and that is something you should never do, the fees on pulling cash out from a credit card are terrible.

    • +3

      just a honest question , why you need cash for? pay everything with card if you want points . first lesson of credit card Never take cash out

      • I'm only a uni student so I wouldn't spend $3K in 60 days. I've never had a credit card before, but had no idea you get slugged with massive fees for withdrawals

        • -5

          Never say never. MB Air + iPhone + Apple watch is 1400 + 900 + 300. = 2600.

          And if you need to pay Student Amenities or grab lunch, I'm sure you could hit the $3K limit.

          It's only spending $50 a day. I wish I saw this offer before getting it from the website.

          • +9

            @OzCheapo: And again this is second lesson of credit card , don't spend on things that you don't need . And don't spend just because you have credit card .

            If you are uni student starting with credit card journey better of getting something with low annual fee and low interest

            • -4

              @BK12: You're missing my point, $3K spend isn't a lot in the whole scheme of things if you need to get the tools you need for uni/work

              • +2

                @OzCheapo: If you are a Uni student struggling to pay bills none of the items you listed are tools they need. But as has been pointed out if you are a Uni student and this is a lot of money to you then you almost certainly won't be approved for the card anyway.

        • +13

          If you are a uni student you most likely will not qualify for this CC

          • @tm001: I'm a uni student and managed to get qualification for this card. But the caveat was a long banking history with NAB. So not sure if our resident high yielding investment analyst from NAB can weigh in on whether tenure influences the decisionmaking to grant this card.

        • -2

          Book and pay for accommodation in the distant future, wait until you receive bonus points, cancel accommodation for refund.

          edit: this is not financial advice (or any sort of advice) and you should do your own research.

  • +1

    I've read through it a few times and can't see.

    Is there a clause if you've had a NAB Qantas reward within the past year?

    • +4

      This bonus Qantas Points offer is not available to existing customers who have received or are entitled to receive NAB Qantas Rewards bonus Points for a new personal NAB Qantas Rewards credit card in the twelve months prior to the opening of a NAB Qantas Rewards Signature Card, NAB Qantas Rewards Premium Card or NAB Qantas Rewards Card account.

      This is written weirdly, but I believe this refers to any new or existing account being opened <12 months ago.

      • +2

        Oh, how the hell did I miss that.

        Thank you!

  • What is the cash value of these points?
