The pickings are getting slim given the introduction of 18 & 24-month exclusion periods. Classic banks ruining the fun.
- This one is a 24 month exclusion period.
To be eligible for bonus Altitude Reward Points, you must apply and be approved for a new Altitude Black Rewards credit card before the offer is withdrawn. You will receive an initial 130,000 bonus points if you spend $6k or more on eligible purchases within 120 days of card approval.
There's a choice of the Qantas Altitude, Velocity Altitude or this, the generic Altitude. The generic Altitude is the only one with a $200 discounted AF (usually $295.) If you're already with Westpac this drops to $99.
130,000 points is equivalent to ~$550 in cashback with spend spread out over 4 months as opposed to the usual 3 months.
- Bonus of a Priority Pass membership and 2 complementary passes.
- There is the additional 50,000 points for the second year, but given it's a $295AF it's not really worth it to us churners.
Net profit of $350 which i'm not going to complain about. Yes there's better but i've burnt almost every bank for another 6 months.
I think we're past the golden age of card churning :-(
