    "Pro-rata refund avaliable"

    Does this mean you can cancel after you get the payment after 60 days and be refunded most of the $150 fee?

      That would be it

      to get the max refund, cancel the card as soon you see signup bonus in your Qantas FF account. I recently signed up for the 100k offer with $295 fee.
      Did the min spend in first few days. Bonus points came through in the first statement itself. The first statement was generated within 2 weeks of the card being issued.
      Closed the card on the 16th Day and got the entire fee of A$295 refunded.

      I'm cancelling my card right now and this is what the chat is saying:

      Thanks for waiting **** the pro rata refund will be $250 as the annual fee was only charged 29/07. This will take approx 10 business days to process.

      Looks like I am getting a full refund of my annual fee

      • haliloo on 10/08/2022 - 14:22

        Is the pro-rata refund automatically calculated and applied once the card is closed or do you need to contact them to get that refund?

        • maverick1 on 10/08/2022 - 14:23
          +1

          you have to contact them via chat. I think the option is on the webpage, once you are logged in, look for close account option, that will redirect you the the chat window.

          • tess1988 on 17/08/2022 - 08:32

            @maverick1: Could you tell us what you say when you chat, “I’m thinking about canceling my card but could I have a pro-rate annual fee refund?”

              +1

              @tess1988: I just cancelled via chat. Just tell the person that you want to cancel your credit card. You don't need to ask it in the form of a question.
              They'll double check a couple of details and then ask for your BSB and Account number for the prorata refund.
              Pretty painless.

      • skinny on 10/08/2022 - 20:05

        I thought the fees was $295 for NAB

      • twistedbow on 10/08/2022 - 23:13

        How does refund get processed? to a designated bank account or as credit??

      • countmein on 12/08/2022 - 22:24

        Curious, how did they refund you? As a credit or cheque? As based on past experience from other banks they need the balance to be 0 before you/they can close the account. If its a credit $250 how did you withdraw it as the card cancelled. Is it a cheque or bank transfer?

        • twistedbow on 14/08/2022 - 15:30
          +2

          not sure why i got -1 vote but I'm curious as well. Quick bot chat on NAB site said below. So I assume when you close your credit card, pro-rate refund will be credited to your final statement and you have to call NAB to get it bank? I've also found some posts on FF forums where when they called to cancel the card (NAB signature), staff asked for a bank account and few days later they got a refund.

          If your credit card is closed and the balance is in credit on your final statement, you can have this amount transferred to a nominated bank account.

          • countmein on 14/08/2022 - 23:45

            @twistedbow: Thanks for sharing. Its a pretty genuine question we asked

    • Koipanda on 10/08/2022 - 14:20

      If you take into account a pro-rata refund of the annual fee (that can be 100%), then this for sure.

      • Homr on 10/08/2022 - 14:21

        If you're assuming a 100% refund of the annual fee then the NAB Qantas Signature card would be better.

    • Autonomic on 10/08/2022 - 16:28

      ANZ Frequent Flyer Black with 160k points is a better deal. You're slugged a (net) $200 annual fee, but you can swap ~40k points (or 30k, currently) for a $200 gift card to offset it. So net 120k+ points for effectively $0 as well as two lounge passes.

      • Homr on 10/08/2022 - 17:09

        Thanks, will look at the ANZ

      • maverickjohn on 10/08/2022 - 18:50

            @Heybargain: I recently applied for this successfully with my 12 months resetting. My process:
            1. Create progress saver account (hey that’s me in 2nd comment in the link above from 5 months ago… heh, still works)
            2. Use app, click 160k offer in app
            3. Web link says 130k, but sign in to web page then should say 160k (or go back to app and click link again (and again (and again, until it works!)))
            4. Upload payslips multiple times, phone them, upload some more times, phone again, upload again, email them, upload again, and finally they receive them
            5. Approved
            6. Wait by the letterbox patiently while checking OzBargain continuously (I’m at this step now)
            7. Now do the usual…. make min spend, get points, close account, set reminder for 12 months to reapply

  • Bangers on 10/08/2022 - 14:22

    The eligibility requirements for NAB Qantas cards is constantly changing.

    This is the one from the NAB Qantas Rewards Signature card I applied for late last year: "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."

    within 12 months from holding a card vs within 12 months from opening the card.

    • richrichie on 10/08/2022 - 15:42
      +2

      isn't this the usual criteria?
      "in the twelve months prior to the opening … " sounds like the usual 12 months from the day you close your previous card.

      • Bangers on 10/08/2022 - 17:38

        Sorry, I focused on the wrong words.

        There's a difference between "received bonus points in the twelves months prior to the opening of a card" and other credit card offers which is usually something to the effect of "within 12 months from holding [previous] card."

        If I lasted opened a card in January 2021, receive points in March 2021, close account in June 2021. The terms I quoted above implies I can open up another card to obtain eligible points in March 2022, rather than wait until June 2022.

        • Autonomic on 10/08/2022 - 21:05

          It does say " have received or are entitled to receive NAB Qantas Rewards bonus Points". To me that means it's after your account has been closed.

          • Bangers on 10/08/2022 - 22:41

            @Autonomic: Aren't you entitled to receive NAB Qantas Rewards bonus points once you meet the spend criteria?

    • cook99 on 10/08/2022 - 16:50

      Pretty sure they are all 12 months from closing.

    • CheapBrah on 10/08/2022 - 15:37

      For easily redeemable stuff, best value is about 0.8c per point. Points are worth a fair bit more if you can get rewards flights but it's not easy if you don't have status and aren't highly flexible.

    Whilst this is a decent bonus, I'd recommend waiting for the Signature card to go to 100k (+30k in the second year) if you have the income to service it - seems to have run every 4 months or so through TCM.

    F#! Qantas and f#! Alan Joyce.

    Just had a flight moved from end of the day to the very start of the day, because they cancelled every other flight from my regional airport on Fridays.

    I chose the last flight of the day because I'll be away for work for 10 days, and I wanted to spend the Friday with my kids before leaving Sydney for o/s on the Saturday morning. Now it looks like I'll be twiddling my thumbs in Sydney for a day instead.

    Rex and others have no problems, because they didn't illegally terminate their ground crew and find themselves suffering the consequences.

    Already a NAB signature customer. Paying $395 annual fee for this convenience.

    Looking for bonus points card, ideally with a zero or very low card fee, have some big expenses coming up and want to maximise hopefully a bonus on these large payments.

    ANZ has $295 fee

      How big are we talking. If by big you mean like $10k, I would try for multiple sign up bonuses. If it is more like >$50k then choosing a good point scoring card could make sense.

      The highest tier Macquarie card offers (last time I checked anyway) equivalent of 1% cashback in the form of gift cards. So $50k spend = $500 gift card. That card is currently only offered to people with mortgages with Macquarie. My current Westpac credit card would only pay $333 in gift cards.

      • countmein on 11/08/2022 - 01:11

        Roughly once a year, and thats also diff banks (and their group too). I used the card for 10-11 months for each card, sometime more if i can get annual fee waived (long time back before Royal coms). So I was pretty generous using their card so they made profit from merchant fees.

        Yes i thought i am banned, but then my Mrs also had hard times to get. I occasionally omce or twice add her as additional holder.

        How do we find out if we got banned? Im pretty sure i got banned from citi (applied direct and tried coles as well - got immediate rejection lol)

    • Heybargain on 15/08/2022 - 07:59

      I went through a similar process even though I went through the online verification process successfully. They finally agreed to complete the application after I called them and argued that I had completed the online verification with no issues so had no reason to go into a branch.

        The points just appeared in my QFF.

          It seems you keep following my steps :)
          What is your next churning move?
          My next target is HSBC platinum creditcard with 120,000 bonus points ($500 gifrcards) with zero fees for HSBC existing customer.
