          Yes. Been getting the 'your auto redemption was successful' email every few weeks.

          I really just need to call them but been putting it off.

        • jetblack on 19/01/2023 - 10:29

          I'm on the phone to them now. I forgot that they played the same 1, grating song for the entirety of your hold… Is it intentional on their behalf to make calling them completely miserable?

      Yeah you really have to chase ANZ, they are a pain to deal with in regards to Rewards if things don't go smoothly.

      I have used them three times for credit card churning. 2 out of 3 it was good, no issues.

      On the third time I never got my 80K velocity points. Spent hours on the phone, emails etc… Eventually I gave up and swore never to use ANZ again.

      GET ON THEIR ASSES!!!

      Go to a branch and make them do the running around. Don't accept a "call this number" response…No thanks.

      I got a result from the branch manger by the end of the day.

      • lookgg on 19/01/2023 - 10:09

        My experience was different. I went to the branch and the staff said since I applied it online, they couldn't help and pushed me away :p

        • tunzafun001 on 19/01/2023 - 10:40

          Thats when you remind them your application says 'ANZ' at the top, as does the sign on their front door!
          They will say something like "we can only call the same number you can", so you say "no worries, let me know how it goes asap".

          • lookgg on 19/01/2023 - 12:06

            @tunzafun001: I did say something similar but the staff didn't care at all. I logged a formal complaint, got a reference number, guess what, ANZ neither contact nor follow up.

    • jakxon on 18/01/2023 - 16:02

  • LoungeLizard on 18/01/2023 - 16:18
    +31

    Only apply if you have a very high pain threshold.

    I applied through the PointsHack offer and it was an absolute shitshow. I was requested (and promptly complied) to send documentation 3 times by 3 different people, each time with slightly different requirements. Then they said my application expired because I took to long, only to have the card suddenly approved a week later! Now, after meeting spending criteria there is no sign of the Velocity Points or flight/status credit and the CC team has NFI what's going on.

    • Xizor on 18/01/2023 - 16:34

      I went through a similar nightmare for CBA card. Still waiting for it after few weeks. Absolute muppets. However i got this ANZ card seamlessly. It's such a crap shoot.

      Can relate last year cos had an absolute shit of a time took me two months of back and forth, and a rejection that I managed to overturn.

      This time though set up a bank account with ANZ about a month ago, then applied for this offer and was smooth sailing.

      Inconsistent and annoying for sure, ANZ :/

      100% agree, asked to provide further information on a previous as application only to be stuffed around for weeks. I was continually chasing them for updates to have someone else's financial info mixed up with my application. No positive outcome for me. Never again

      I'm in the same situation.
      I applied via PointHacks,
      and it's been just over 3-months now,
      after when I satisfied their sspend-criteria,
      but no correspondence nor any inkling
      of the rewards that I was supposed to get.

      Thanks for your post.
      I'll chase them up tomorrow.

          Yes.
          I did this , a few days after activation.
          I chose something like 6 or 8,000 points.

    • ScrubCorps on 20/01/2023 - 23:13

      I agree, was a bloody nightmare. It was a stagger of one requested document every one-two weeks, for two months. On the sixth request, they messaged me to contact them and I was rudely spoken to by a bloke who started the call with "what do you want? …what do you mean contact us?". I asked to just request everything and I can forward them all at once. He then goes on to threaten "do you want me to cancel it then?" fed up, I hung up on him and thought if it was cancelled then so be it.

      Surprisingly, the application still progressed. On the seventh call they still wanted another document because they did not believe I paid 40k to the ATO. My receipt was not enough, so I asked to cancel on the spot, but they begged to stick with it and got it quickly approved by a manager within a couple hours.

      Met the requirements within a week, no signs of rewards since. All in all, would not do it again.

    • lac0449 on 18/01/2023 - 18:18

      Same here, applied online, approved and told to go to bank to supply some more info. go to bank, they dont understand why i had to come in, note it down tell me to await cc team call back. They call back and advise to do some more paperwork stuff in-store of the same paperwork they already have. Gave up and told them to jam the paperwork and cancel the application.

  • zan5hin on 18/01/2023 - 16:47

    I applied, got declined. If these stupid banks and their algorithms would give an actual reason I wouldn't be so pissed. Even the reason is "that you earn good money and pay your bills on time.". Also got declined by Westpac. I'm gonna try that $1450 amex offer and if I get declined again, I am just gonna quit credit card bonus point game entirely.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/01/2023 - 18:36

  • alz on 18/01/2023 - 16:50

    Would ANZ waive the annual fee on this seeing that I just re-financed my HL's to them?

    • MarsTitan on 18/01/2023 - 17:58

      • gotcha on 19/01/2023 - 08:10
        +1

        No, ANZ changed that towards end of last year, having a HL package no longer carries an annual fee (replaced by $10 per month per offset account) which results no more credit card annual fee waiver

        • jdawg on 19/01/2023 - 10:10

          It's so annoying they removed the package and don't do the credit card fee waiver anymore, I'm literally about to churn out of my credit card with them because of that

          • gotcha on 19/01/2023 - 12:37

            @jdawg: actually I dont really mind though.
            so $10 per month offset off account fee now instead of $395 annual package fee, save of $275 per year
            without ANZ credit card fee waiver, I am more motivated to churn cards as there is no need for me to keep the ANZ credit card anymore

            • jdawg on 19/01/2023 - 14:04

              @gotcha: yeah good point, ends up being cheaper in the end I guess

        • MarsTitan on 19/01/2023 - 11:27

            @MarsTitan: No it’s not, in fact they refunded my last year’s Breakfree fee, even though the year ended just before they withdrew it altogether, I was quite happy it’s that. Also kept the interest rate discount on my mortgage fix. Although I do now have to pay CC annual fees.

        I applied on the 7/10, got approved 10/10. Would say I met the spend criteria early-mid Nov.
        Yet to hear anything from ANZ.
        Rang them in December to follow up, which took me longer than it should've. One consultant said you need to call this number, rang that number, they said no you need to call this number. Went in circles for about 1.5 hours. But, they tell me the offer is applied and to wait it out.
        So at this stage, just waiting it out. Might be bothered to call them again soon, but not looking forward to playing phone tag again.

        • JohnSy on 18/01/2023 - 17:46

          You did remember to turn on auto redemption before meeting minimum spend etc?

          • spiff on 18/01/2023 - 17:48

            @JohnSy: Is it a requirement to turn on auto redemption BEFORE meeting minimum spend?

            • JohnSy on 18/01/2023 - 18:06

              @spiff: I do not think anyone knows for sure. The terms state "Offer available when you switch on and keep on ANZ Rewards Auto-Redemption for Velocity Points and spend $1,500 on eligible purchases in the first three months from the date of approval."

              There are also two options for auto redemption.

              My timeline was: Applied for card on 9th Nov
              Received card on 15th Nov
              Set auto redemption on Nov 15th, chose "Redeem as many Velocity Points as possible, in regular intervals", with a starting date of Nov 23rd.
              Minimum spend beemit transaction processed 21st Nov.
              $50 promotion credit received on 8th Dec.
              Received 75k points on 9th Dec.

          • mitchsaun on 18/01/2023 - 17:52

            @JohnSy: Yep, definitely before meeting the min spend. Even still, I've spent over the $1.5k requirement at least twice now.

            • endolphin on 18/01/2023 - 21:38

              @mitchsaun: How do you know that it is before? The T&Cs don't state that. Could easily be argued that both conditions just have to be completed at some point within the first 3 months.

  • dynamike on 18/01/2023 - 16:53

    I rang them as I am still waiting on bonus from last deal. ANZ seem to have a new policy to wait until the full 3 months (or longer) have passed before issuing then bonus on the back of many people reverting payments (e.g refundable bookings) once their get their extra points.

    • JohnSy on 18/01/2023 - 17:00

    Negging purely from the experience I've had, but could be worth to some people if they have a smoother process.
    I'm all on board with churning cards for points, but I basically will stay away from ANZ. Not worth the hassle at all.

    First time took about 5 weeks of back and forth providing documents that I had supplied in my original application. They kept saying that they had never heard of a bank statement from that bank (it was from Westpac lol).
    I also never received my points and had to chase it up for about 7 months.

    Last time I had applied, they requested my pay slips which I provided.
    Then they asked for bank statement to show income.
    Shortly after that, requested my employment contract or a letter from my employer that they can confirm I am making $x.
    This is while pay slips and bank statements showed my last year or so of income from them, which was about double of their minimum income requirement.

    When I told them to forget about it and to cancel my application, the advisor on the phone (who barely spoke English, believe it's a call centre in India) then applied 0for a credit card which was one tier below.

    Absolute shit show.

  • spiff on 18/01/2023 - 17:20

    Just got my statement for the third month and no sign of the Velocity points. Met the minimum spend in the first month. Only activated the auto redemption a month ago, not sure if this would have caused an issue.

    • dynamike on 18/01/2023 - 17:59

      What's that auto redemption?

      • spiff on 18/01/2023 - 18:00

        You have to go to ANZ rewards (the portal where you redeem your points) and set up auto redemption of these points to velocity to be eligible to receive the 75k velocity points

    • nightelves on 17/03/2023 - 20:35

      Yeah you want to add the auto redemption at the start to avoid delays.

    I applied for a credit card with ANZ back in November. I already have a home loan with them so figure it should be relatively easy to just get a credit card as well, right?

    Apparently I was wrong!

    They asked for documents which I sent to their email address. They acknowledged they received these documents. I called in December to ask what's going on, they said they indeed have received the documents but are waiting for a senior credit specialist to review it.

    I'm currently on hold with them now just to cancel the damn application and go for another credit provider.

    My point is don't expect any reasonable time frame with ANZ if you have any issues.

    Need to find another great credit card deal to churn my current ANZ card which will expire next month since the year is up. Im also in the quantas frequent flyers points ecosytem so would prefer to stay in it but at this point I just want another credit card with good points. any pro card churners know a good place to apply for another credit card with good perks, currently on ANZ frequent flyer black. Also out of curiosity, since i have a frequent flyer black and not an anz rewards black i can theoretically apply for this one or nah?

    Ok I got my 75K points but I still can't update my velocity profile. Says error everytime.

    I'm also curious, to fly from Brisbane to HCMC, it's 275k points!? I can't find any flights to use my 75k points.

      You have to look for those with Rewards seat available.

      I'll give you a hint. Do Virgin fly direct to Vietnam? And you'll need to learn the different redemption categories… Not all are the same and the seat you've quoted is extremely crazy expensive.

    I noticed it mentions on the website that ANZ Reward Points expire. I guess this does not apply to points that are set up as an auto redemption for Velocity points? Is anyone able to confirm?

      Transfer ANZ points before their ANZ expiry. They then cease to be ANZ points and become Velocity points with the applicable Velocity conditions.

    Still don't have my points or any of the other rewards from the last deal.

    I have a ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum does that mean I'm not eligible?

      Frequent Flyer is separate to ANZ Rewards so you're eligible

    Is there any requirement to keep this card for a set period of time?

    The earning rate sucks, but i could use the status credits to hit gold status with Virgin.
    Can hit the spend requirement in the first month, wait till it gets credited to me and then just cancel?
