    I can still see the 160k points in my anz app

    At the bottom click For You -> Personal accounts -> Credit cards -> ANZ FF Cards

    • me1stt on 24/06/2022 - 14:10

      I only checked the internet bank. All the frequent flyer card offers are gone.

          what does it offer for the non FF rewards cards? I can't get FF for awhile but am able to get regular Rewards

          edit: I managed to find out, 80k. kind of crappy

          • thomalfa on 24/06/2022 - 14:56

              @thomalfa: CBA offer is 100,000 worth $500.
              ANZ is 80,000 worth $370

              Not sure it's worse?

                @cook99: spending 2k vs 5k in 90 days???

                  @thomalfa: Spending $2.5k is very easy in my household so it's all about the bigger points.

                  Agree though, I'm waiting for 130k+ rewards offer from ANZ too, I plan on doing both cards.

    • cook99 on 24/06/2022 - 14:42

    • teckgeek on 24/06/2022 - 14:25

      Dont ask, dont get. Always worth asking for a prorata refund! The worst they can say is no!

    • DewinDell on 24/06/2022 - 17:46

      when closing my card, they actually said they will refund the whole fee. Hoping they follow through with it.

      • 89tnp on 25/06/2022 - 09:00

        In this case I'm guessing that would mean they would only refund the difference (less the cashback)

  • carpecrash on 24/06/2022 - 14:24

    I have this card and I have spent $3000 in 3 months. Does anyone know how to get your bonus points added to your qantas account?

    • immrnonamehello on 24/06/2022 - 14:29

      It's automatic if you included it with your card application. Otherwise call them

    • teckgeek on 24/06/2022 - 14:29

      IF you applied for the card via the offer link & IF you have fulfilled all of the qualifying requirements, its usually automatically transferred after the 1st statement preceding the required spend. Be aware though that the Ts&Cs usually state 'within 90 days' ect ect.

    • Excelsior on 24/06/2022 - 16:32

      It is automatic. Once you hit the min spend you will be credited the points in the same period.

      • nightelves on 25/06/2022 - 00:49

        Hit my spend but still have not received anything after the first statement.

    • siberry on 24/06/2022 - 19:57

      I actually spoke to an ANZ agent about ATO transactions. She said that the ATO biller code is classified as “ok” but you won’t get the 1 pt per dollar. It’ll count towards your 3k spend though.

      Any BPAY biller codes that accept Visa Credit as a card type are eligible transactions and receive points, except government transactions which don’t earn points.

      Luckily for me, my rent is through DEFT which is allowed, so I get points every month, and it counted towards my 3k spend.

      • 89tnp on 25/06/2022 - 09:01

            @cheekymonkey97: Funny. I literally have no other cards (had to close everything for refinancing), so that didn't apply to me. They did mention $700 for latitudepay, which I think is the culprit.

              @sh4hp: BNPL schemes drastically affect your credit scores. I think afterpay has a ten fold effect on your borrowing capacity with the major banks for instance.

                I don't think they like them, but at the end of the day it's looked on as a line of credit. When we got our home loan it was a non issue as they can also see balances of purchases are paid off in 8 weeks.

                They would rather you didn't pay valence so they get interest, so from a credit card approval point of view, you may be right but not regarding affecting your credit score particularly when no credit check is done.

                        @serpserpserp: On the other hand, if you don’t close your Afterpay account while applying for a loan, it helps if you’re upfront with lenders about how much you owe currently and your monthly repayments on an average. Not only can this increase your credibility, but it can also prevent any unnecessary delay in your loan application process.
                        https://www.ratecity.com.au/home-loans/articles/impact-after…

                        Showing a potential lender that you can manage your money responsibly and that you always pay on time is more important than trying to hide your Afterpay account.
                        https://finty.com/au/home-loans/afterpay-home-loan-applicati…

                        Afterpay (and Zip Pay) are technically credit liabilities. Meaning that if you have trouble meeting the Afterpay payments and late fees appear on your account, then yes – this can affect your ability to borrow money.
                        https://mmo.com.au/can-shopping-with-afterpay-affect-your-ab…

                        But how does this affect your borrowing capacity?

                        Contrary to what many have reported, Afterpay doesn’t affect your credit rating, as noted on their website which is good news for anyone considering using AfterPay.
                        So, can it affect your borrowing capacity?
                        Yes, and no.
                        It depends on the lender. Some lenders will take your Afterpay purchasing history into consideration, just like any other financial commitments you may have so make sure you keep on top of payments and don’t go beyond your capacity, but from a credit rating point of view, it doesn’t.
                        So, should you use AfterPay?
                        Just like anything in life, if you use it wisely and in moderation, it’s a good service.

                          @dmbminaret: Sorry when I said "scores" I didn't mean credit rating. I meant the "score" you'd get with your lender. Bad phrasing.

                          It does effect your borrowing power. This was the difference in borrowing power if the afterpay account was closed from a big 4.

                          @dmbminaret: Afterpay, zippay etc does not show up on your credit check, but latitudepay does for some reason.

                          Thus why Afterpay won't impact your ratings, but latitudepay does.

            • Craze on 27/06/2022 - 10:19

              @sh4hp: I got rejected couple of months ago just as I was closing their Rewards Black card. They didn't mention LatitudePay but have $1k limit with them which I haven't used since applying for it in 2020. Requested to close the account over the weekend and will wait for a bit before trying again.

              • sh4hp on 27/06/2022 - 10:55

                @Craze: Yeah, I think it is the culprit.

                I believe Latitudepay issues you a virtual credit card, instead of a normal account like PayPal/Afterpay.

                This way, they are protected against defaults.

                Just a guess anyway, since it comes in the credit check.

      Correct. Qantas store (which includes gift cards etc).

      • gadgetguy on 24/06/2022 - 16:25

        Thanks, So what are the values in this thread being based on? I think its normally on redeeming for gift cards?

    • samwise_777 on 24/06/2022 - 16:29
      +4

      They go into your QFF account, which you can then use to purchase gift cards for example, though not usually advised.
      Currently gift cards are 30% off in qantas store (which will end before you get these points).

      Taking WISH gift cards for example 3650 (usually 5220) points for $25 equates to approx. $875 in gift cards for 130,000 points.
      Subtract the $175 cost for the card after the $255 back = $700 in value.

      Compared to the $370 of value from ANZ rewards card at present.

      This assumes a future sale from Qantas for more efficient use of points

      • gadgetguy on 24/06/2022 - 16:30

        Thanks, perfect. I don't fly Qantas so I'd be looking at the gift card option.

      • watwatwat on 05/07/2022 - 21:05

        Reminder that this calculation IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE OR ACCURATE due to the end of the same, so it is less than $700 of value now.

      I've found they're more than happy to let people go these days and have a 12 month breather.

      Last time they offered me 30,000 points to stay for a second year and cop the full annual fee. Yeahnah not for me.

    • Flappysandals on 24/06/2022 - 19:00
      +3

      I believe that as of 2019, banks are no longer able to provide retention offers for people who call up looking to cancel credit cards. See here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/credit-card-reten…

      • UrMumsOnlyFan on 25/06/2022 - 22:03

        If you call up looking to cancel then they will cancel. However, you can enquire about a retention offer/options without initiating cancellation. (Whether they actually offer anything these days is another matter.)

        https://www.pointhacks.com.au/how-to-get-your-credit-card-an…

        Note that since 1 January 2019, credit card rules have become stricter for lenders. They must provide an ability for credit cards to be cancelled online. In addition, the credit card provider is obliged to assist the cardholder in any of their requests. However, requests for fee waivers can still be made.

        So, for example, if the cardholder says, ‘I wish to close my card,’ then the provider must reasonably assist in doing this, meaning that they cannot proactively offer bonus points to retain the cardholder’s business.

        However, if you say, ‘I’m thinking about closing my card, but would like to explore if you have any offers available to me before I decide to close,’ then a bonus retention offer is still okay.

        Going to bet I can't get this right? I still have my black.

        Might get the wife on it

        P.s you subtracting for the mandatory fee?

          Fee is $425
          Rebate is either $255 or $225 depending on the fine print
          @$225 the fee is $200.

          160,000 points equates to approx. $1075 (WISH $25 is currently 3650 points) - Fee of $200 = $875

          Can't apply within 12 months of holding a QFF ANZ card, but if you hold a rewards version should be fine

            @samwise_777: I have the Anz black, about 8 months back now, though I thought my points were from ANZ not quantas? Maybe I should try again for one. That's some legit profit.

              @hamwhisperer: It will say on the physical card "rewards" if it says rewards then should be OK for this one. I wouldnt try otherwise as it will get rejected and negative on your credit report

    is there anyway to verify whether you're eligible for 130,000 or 160,000 points? I'm pretty sure I saw the ad on my ANZ bank app, but I'm pretty sure i completed the application for it on a PC browser…

      I’m sorry, but how on earth do you not know what you signed up for! If it was 160k you will get 160, if it was 130k you will get 130. There is no way to verify other than ringing ANZ, but what’s the point, it is what it is!

        Did you see any of the comments above? It is as clear as mud!

        • Coops1 on 24/06/2022 - 18:18

          Clearer for some than others me thinks. Not even knowing if they signed up on a PC or not….really ! The app takes you to a browser for the application and it clearly says 160k

          • plentifoo on 24/06/2022 - 21:01

            @Coops1: to be fair - banks could do a lot better with making clear what the bonuses are, especially when it's the main reason why people are signing up. They send through tons of paperwork in the way of welcome packs, welcome letters and disclosure booklets but they can't spare one piece of paper to confirm what bonuses you are entitled to.

            • gadgetguy on 24/06/2022 - 23:38

              @plentifoo: Agreed - also my earlier point (see post earlier in this thread) which is that both the number of points AND the amount of credit you get back are quoted differently in the various app screens AND the T&C they refer to.

              How do you know which is correct?

      Pc 130
      App 160

    Any fee free QFF cards knocking about?

    They ask you documents you already provided over and over again. Very annoying.
