Credit Card Offers ANZ Frequent Flyer Black: 130,000 Qantas Points + $200 back

[Coops1]

Thank you!

I have to sign up for an ANZ account, what's the easiest? Bit of effort, but 160k QFF is solid.

I had a left over online saver I applied thru, or progress saver.

Great information here

I tried to ask ANZ if I was eligible for the 160k as an existing account holder but they could t answer me.
I signed up through the 130k but saw the 160k offer posted afterwards.

Let’s hope I’m successful lol

for the 160k ( and $225 back ) ….. you must have ANZ app access, and apply thru the link in the app

Too bad that I didn't see this. I applied on their website and got the 130K + $225 back. I made the minimum spend within the first month, but I did not receive the bonus points.

The last time I cancelled a ANZ Black QF Card was early 2022, 2020 just after the pandemic hit ... so I'm fairly certain that I'm over the exclusion period ...

Bonus showed up on the Second statement.

Most are getting it in the second month if the spend is met in the first.

These info is providing me with some comfort that I should receive the 100K points in the second month's statement. So will keep an eye out for this.

Check your reward points on the website to see if they are ready to transfer on 2nd statement

May I ask - where do I find this "rewards points" on the ANZ website.

Apparently f rom reports I have read, the bonus points are received at the end of the second statement cycle (assuming minimum spend was achieved in the first cycle).

I assume you mean 2020 and not 2022

Today I opened an ANZ Plus account to take advantage o the extra bonus for being an existing member, but from what I can tell the offer for existing members is not available through the ANZ Plus App. Its only available through the older ANZ App "For You" offers. So I have dutifully opened an ANZ Access Advantage account and will apply for the card with 160K bonus as soon as I can activate my on-line banking account, which I think can't be done until I receive the Access Advantage card. I see the offer, but have to sign-in with CRN to verify being an existing account holder. I received my CRN via email but can't setup the on-line banking account until I receive an activation code or enter my card number and PIN, so waiting for card delivery now. Trying to time the bonus points to arrive after the end of September to count towards next year of Points Club Plus renewal.

To add to the data point, I received my points at the end of the third statement cycle after achieving the minimum spend in the second cycle. Note: my card is a Platinum and hence I received 70,000 points - appears to be part of the same deal structure as the Black card being discussed.

I hate it when banks don’t post the bonus points immediately once the minimum spend is done. Waiting for 3 cycles means 3 more months I need to hold the card and will be eligible to churn only after 21 months, not 18/19 months …

Just saw you saying you applied online and not on the app.

I spoke to customer support through the ANZ app and they were able to see I was eligible for the extra points and gave me the extra 30,000

Awesome tip. Thanks mate. I’ll chat with them and report back.

Update : Could not get ANZ on the phone to discuss this. So sent them a message on the ANZ app and they got back after 5 days. I explained my situation, took a bit of back and forth and the agent told me that I'm not eligible for the 160k points, but I'm eligible for the 130k only.

He then said that he will send an email to the Loyalty guys to see if I can get the additional 30k. He also told me that I should be hearing from ANZ Loyalty via phone call or text or email within 5 days. I did not hear anything from ANZ Loyalty for over 7 days, so I sent another message on the ANZ app asking for an update. After 2 days someone responded that I'm eligible for the additional 30k and that I'd need to wait at least 3 months AFTER the spending threshold is met for the points to land ,,,

Glad to hear you should eventually receive the extra points.

I recently applied via the app, and took screen shots showing the 160K points offer, the final one being page 8 of 8 (Check your details) of the application process that shows the OFFER (Earn 160,000 bonus Qantas Points and $225 back on your new card when you spend $3,000 on elig. purchases in the first 3 months from approval ...), Credit Limit, and my Qantas Frequent Flyer number.

I spent over $5,000 in my first transaction on the card immediately after activating it. So I am expecting to find 160K bonus point included on my second statement. I'll certainly be chasing if its short of the offered amount.

Ugh I think I'm going to have the same problem with both ANZ and Westpac. I will be pushing for a refund of the annual fee when I close both of these cards if that happens.

Update : I was awarded the 160k points last night, sprinting me right into the PC+ territory for the very first time. Did not have to wait the 3 month statement period. Good service from ANZ in this regard.

Second statement it was for me. I was expecting to wait until the 3rd statement, good that I got all the 160k in the 2nd statement. Good luck, let us know how you go.

 

[levelnine]

Got mine second statement too. Still waiting for my $225 back though.

For me the $225 back was on the first day of the second statement …

Good news. Congratulations.

I am certainly hoping for second statement, and hoping not for first statement (nobody has reported first) as my QFF membership year commences 1st October and I want this one in next year's tally for PC+ renewal. So I think I have timed it well.

Excellent timing indeed glad that you’d be getting the well deserved 160k boost to renew PC+

I have not heard anyone have points posted in their first statement. I think ANZ is aware that then credit card will be closed in the first month itself if the points are posted. So they are not giving the points until the end of 2nd month, and hence 2nd statement.

I expect only 125K will go towards PC+. I understand there is a limit of 125K points per transaction for PC+.

Then again, if they only give me the initial points based on the 130K promotion, which would only be 100K initially with 30K after second year, then I can seek recompense for the missing 60K and might just score the 160K in two transactions (100K + 60K), so all would count towards PC+

Applied through the 160k offer, just got 130k

Do you need to wait for second year to get the extra 30K points (130K + 30K) as is the policy for the regular offer (100K + 30K)?
