ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 months

Still 75000 QFF points bonus with no annual fee first year. However, you ONLY need to spend $2500 in first 3 months to get the bonus. It is much easier to achieve than the original $7500 spend requirement.


Originally I was going to post it in the existing ANZ QFF Black thread but given the title included $7500 spend I thought it is better to have a new thread for this.




I have applied today and has been referred to ANZ.

EDIT: ANZ Just approved my application. Took them a long 2 hours. It helps that I am existing ANZ customer and have all my finances with them. I would probably qualify for free annual fee forever as I have existing home loan package with them.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Probably mentioned elsewhere but am a bit busy to read through it all so:
Still the 12 month sit out period since closing a previous ANZ card to be eligible?
Does ATO spend count towards the $2500?

Correct. This is being strictly enforced from what I can see.

Yes I saw this, but as mentioned earlier that the thread title mentioned 7.5K spend, therefore it makes sense to start a new thread for clarity purposes.

What are "eligible purchases" usually? Would that include payment of strata levies do we think?

Interesting, they must have had a poor response to the high(er) threshold..

Note to self - always cancel credit cards immediately after receiving bonus points so as to maximise future re-signup opportunities!

Wow this one does seem too good to be true. Does anyone have experience in how quickly ANZ post the bonus points after the minimum spend has been reached?
I have read the T&Cs which say 8-10 weeks but am hoping its quicker than that
(Work trip to London coming in April and want to upgrade from Y+ to J and am in dire need of points!)

No expiry date is provided via the link to the ANZ offer:

https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/frequent-flyer/black/#rates

This means it is at their discretion as to when it ends or when they may make a change to the offer.

Too good to be true? Only if you're eligible to apply. Many of us here are excluded for 12 months because of the multiple offerings we took up with ANZ in 2015 (my exclusion expires at the end of Feb 2016).


If you have a look at previous offerings of ANZ (http://www.australianfrequentflyer....motions/anz-platinum-50k-bonus-qff-61242.html) you'll see that 6 to 10 weeks is usual for ANZ to post the points.

If you're after quick points I'd recommend Jetstar. I've had them post the bonus points even before issuing the first statement.

No expiry date is provided.

But ANZ can pull this offer at anytime ..... Or if not many takers, they may reduce the spending requirement to say $500 for 3 months (purely my speculation only)!

I have an existing rewards platinum, just rang them up to enquirer about changing it to a black card. Guy on the phone suggested a new black card rather than changing product, as "we have a great bonus offer at the momen" strongly suggesting from that position I would be eligible. I didn't push him on the matter as he lost interest when I told him my income!

Rewards card does not exclude participation in the Frequent Flyer cards new card bonus.
Having held any of the 3 FF cards in the previous 12 months does.
