    Any other cards available with a better point return? Happy to spend 5-6k a month or so for the first few months for a more bonus points and extra perks that come with the card

    ANZ seem to be the strictest lately. They ask for every little variance in your payslip

      Easy to get around by having your pay go into an ANZ account.
      Since doing this they have been so quick to approve my last 5 cards.

        This is the case with me. Applied for a black card, got interrogated and still got rejected.

        • +4

          Yep same with me here, been churning multiple ANZ cards for many years and got rejected the first time this year. My payslips are banked into ANZ as well. Had a lot of dramas with this year's overseas staff, wonder if that's a key factor… … 🤔

            @roberto7: Yes the offshored staff are a killer with NAB too.

            Had to AFCA them twice in 3 months and won both times. It's still cheaper for them than hiring locals. Disgusting banks with multi billion dollar profits and still offshoring.

            • @arcticmonkey: that's interesting… would you care to share more about this - was that regarding a credit card application that got declined, or bonus points not accruing etc?

              I couldn't visualise what levers AFCA were able to pull in this context, keen to know.

              Thanks in advance

              • @roberto7: AFCA have saved me numerous times.

                The most recent was regarding a 2nd year annual fee being charged by NAB/Citi despite me cancelling within the statement period.

                Raised several complaints over many different channels and it was only when AFCA stepped in that it was resolved.

                AFCA is the saviour of the offshored messes the banks have become.

                  @arcticmonkey: Thanks for the update…. good thing we have forums like this to band together!

      Totally agree with this. I've applied for ANZ, Amex and Virgin money credit cards in the past 6 months. I couldn't believe the hoops that i had to jump through to get approved for ANZ when the other credit cards were approved with very little hassle. Every expense that i had entered in my application was cross checked with my bank statement. Of course i had only put rough estimates, so over the course several days and multiple calls from them, they gradually confirmed expenses with me and amended my application details until they were satisfied before approving me.

    • The most crappy also

      American Express the worst now. Recently started rejecting credit card churners based on number of cards over past X period of time. Just copped it myself despite not even having an Amex for 3 years.

    any velocity cards?

    I found ANZ simply too hard to deal with in making a card application - querying all expenditure - multiple contacts from them re more information to the stage where said I am cancelling my application.

    I had previously held ANZ black and my self employed ABN company income is well in excess of what they require. No such issue with other providers when churning cards.

      Is it because it's black? That's RACIST

  • +3

    Agree. Anz sucks.

  • Whats the best one to apply these days after citi? Looking for easy approval

    • Was citi easy to be approved?

    What happened to 60-70k point cards without fees… $295 fee is killing this deal.

    • Gotta make money somehow.

    • One of the best deal I had (2021 and 2022) was CitiBank for $3000 Spent + $0 Fee for 60K Velocity.

      Second best was Virgin Money: $65 fee for 129 voucher, 100k velocity points and 30k bonus on the top from VA.

  • Is it true that the upcoming change (to QFF) will be in addition to the Classic Flight Reward program, which will not see any changes to its value or seat availability?

    • It's currently expected that Classic+ will be in addition to the existing unchanged classic rewards.

      Internal documents provide clues of Qantas’ new frequent flyer scheme

      • Thanks for the link! I wonder if this would increase or decrease the value of QFF points

        "The same flight would cost 800,000 points using Classic Plus – nearly three times as many points" for Classic

        • If classic rewards remain unchanged then I don't see Classic+ having any significant effect in and of itself.

          Of more interest is whether Qantas will expand or restrict the supply of points in any way.

  • What is currently the best use for ANZ Rewards points?

  • I have received bonus Qantas Point from the Qantas AMEX Card 2 months ago and the card is still active.
    Question, am i eligible for another bonus Qantas Point when applying for this card?
    Thanks
